[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MAGAs politicizing this tragedy are truly disgusting.  Why do you hate your fellow countrymen so much just because they vote for democrats?[/quote]

Agree.  As a democrat who grew up in North Carolina, the country really came together in empathy for those who lost homes and businesses.  It's very sad to know that apparently the only real Americans are those who live in red states.  Those in blue states don't merit our compassion.[/quote]

Posters have been endlessly posting that California has the fifth highest GDP in the world which begs the question why were state and local budges so stretched that they could not accommodate battling the uptick in crime as well as the uptick in fires.  It's like the rich uncle at Thanksgiving tries to borrow $2,000 from the relative who was hurt in an industrial accident and lives on SSI.[/quote]

Watch videos of the winds and the fires. It isn’t a money issue or a water issue or a truck issue or any of the other bullshit you deplorables keep saying. It’s a series of crazy out of control wildfires spreading rapidly over a huge area. And guess what? Unlike all the MAGA states, California is not begging the federal government to pay for everything. California is just saying that if you don’t give a shit about California just STFU and stop telling lies that misinformation the public and undermine the response and relief. [/quote]

I am not a professional firefighter but I have dealt with an over zealous outdoor grill or firework gone astray.  In my vast experience of fire control it is easier to put out when it is small.
I have used a fire extinguisher, water and even stomped them out.  I believe that is wild fire control 101 - react fast and contain before it turns into a Napalm like testing facility.

As for MAGA states - Louisiana is about as red as they come and I recall quite a bit of debate after Katrina about NOT rebuilding New Orleans as it was below sea level, and actually next to the Gulf of Mexico which is kind part of the oceans that are rising due to climate change.

Bashing leaders who fail their citizens does not make anyone MAGA or anything else....LA and California spend a lot of money on services of their choice that cost a lot of money - rethinking they may want to cut some of those services or raise taxes even more for better fire management is just logical, especially after this trainwreck display.[/quote]
