[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if any of you have bothered to notice, but the North Hollywood fire is contained.

Palisades is still 0% contained which is very unfortunate.

We drove out of LA yesterday with our pets and are staying up the coast. The alternative seems to be breathing vast quantities of black smoke and waiting to be evacuated which is not anyone's idea of a good time. [/quote]

I have been watching so yes. The big air drop helped a lot with the Hollywood one. What are you hearing from people in terms of [b]what they think of the response?[/b][/quote]

Many are mad a black woman (the mayor) hasn't been pilloried for simply existing as the fires happened. [/quote]

Sure. It bees racism that she cut the fire budget by 18 million and ignored the many warnings leading up to the devastating fires.[/quote]

What warnings were ignored?  Once the forecast was known everything was in place to fight the fires.  The reservoirs were full.  It was just too much of a natural disaster.

And the funny part about the progressive comments is that fire (and other) things were cut from the city budget to fund the police budget.[/quote]

These MAGA nuts don't care about anyone but themselves.  Don't let them ruin your day.[/quote]

Got it.  [b]So, in red states, lack of preparation for impacts of climate change should be ignored, and we should focus on an inadequate response by the federal government[/b], but in blue states, all focus should be on local officials.  What a coincidence!  Just seems like you're a partisan hack.  Who lacks an empathetic bone in his body.[/quote]

NP- Why do you assume the bolded part? Can't everyone be held accountable who needs to be held accountable? Isn't it pretty normal to look back on mistakes made to try and remedy for the future? We all pay for certain services and elect officials to work for our communities,on the local, state and federal scale. Why cherry pick who we absolve/don't absolve based on party lines?[/quote]

I don't.  But the MAGA heads on this forum do.  I'm all for everyone preparing, responding and the evaluating both the response and the preparation.  But, somehow the MAGA posters only want to criticize Democratic public officials.

Also, are you actually saying that the outcome, in this extreme wind and fire event, would have been markedly different with the preparation measures noted?  Because I don't think that's true.  And I don't think that case can reasonably be made.  [/quote]

I am saying it’s not unreasonable to ask questions about fire/water/resource management after so much devastation impacting so many people. You can’t just throw your arms up and say you did everything, because that doesn’t teach you how you can have better outcomes next time. [/quote]

The posts with posters assuming no one has ever spent anytime managing this that are incredibly stupid. You think everyone is just throwing their hands up when that is not true. A tremendous amount of money, time and brain power is spent trying to manage the issue but you're such an idiot you never assume that. You're ignorant. You won't even spend 30 minutes to educate yourself but will come here with endless ignorance and idiocy. Go the f away.[/quote]

You’re too interested in name calling and knee jerking to even read before you post replies. This is not remotely what I meant, or wrote…[/quote]
