'Murica! (116 Viewers)

Something like 80 or 85 percent of wildfires are caused by people.

And you would know.

And I don't know many deer that smoke cigarettes.

Btw, the other angle on all the politicization of it is classic victim blaming, which America generally loves to do over sympathy. Which is why people are more likely to blame the woman's skirt than the rapist who raped her.

Finding that "bad decision" provides a false sense of protection -- that if you walk on the right side of the street, do the right things, elect all the right people, etc., nothing bad can ever happen to you. Because facing a world where random chance or chaos can take you out is too much fear to bear.

It's reflected in America's "sucks to be you" privatization of risk. You got cancer? You must have eaten the wrong things. Hurricane trashed your home? You live too close to the coast. Your industry laid off you and a thousand other people? You got the wrong college degree.

Sharing risk would require admitting that life isn't fair and sometimes people can do all the right things and get screwed anyway.

This is why you can hold CA officials responsible. Can't control the winds, California, but you sure can control who you elect to protect you in the event of emergencies.

You don't get fire hurricanes in January normally. This is the time to do repairs and maintenance. You don't get to choose NOT to do repairs or maintenance forever .But nice try.

The Monday morning quarterbacking is a bit redic no?

Were Texas state officials held responsible for decommissioning coal power plants during 2021 freeze? I have a vague memory that they blamed renewables.

So I called my propane company about the propane delivery I ordered last week, one that still hasn't arrived. I'm down to about 10% of the tank and it's going to be absolutely frigid this weekend. The supervisor said the roads in the Virginia area are still not good despite the snow ending four days ago.

How is this possible? I blame the Republicans in Virginia, especially that fraud Glen Youngkin. Instead of treating the roads, he's treating himself to taxpayer dollars. He is the worst governor Virginia has ever had and probably the worst in the country. How is there still snow on secondary roads FOUR DAYS AFTER THE SNOW????????

I DEMAND ANSWERS. #YoungkinResign

117 million gallon water reservoir up at Altadena could not be used, due to some maintenance work. Newsome now demanding an investigation into the matter.

Ah, there's that fallacy of relative privation again. Can't feed starving schoolchildren if there's a chance of wildfires.

I thought "mismanagement" was when you let your debt spiral out of control and you don't make necessary gubment budget cuts.

Not to defend Newsom, but the criticisms thus far have all been weak and the kind of things that will be lobbied Trump's way the first 100 days he's in the White House.

It's also weird that you're blaming one person for everything, which is also overly simplistic.

You know what would mitigate the risk of large scale wildfire?
