seinfield can't even write shit like this

It takes the lovechild of Larry David and Schopenhauer to write shit like this.

For those wondering about where the water went, it’s primarily because the California government forces municipalities to dump millions of gallons of water into the ocean every year for some bullshit environmental purpose.

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

If we were to restrict populations to areas sustainable from natural rainfall without irrigation the entire southwest would be vacant

It wouldn't be vacant. That's where we sent the Indians to live when we gave them some land back.

Agenda-Free TV is back up and covering things

NYC is a million times worse than LA. Sadly there's no dry brush around it.

Bullshit. If I ever die and there's a skeleton war between LA and NYC I'm definitely going to be a skelly on the NYC side.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

What are the chances some illegals started this shit?

From what I heard the fires were started by homeless people.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

For further context, attached is an executive order following the 2018 fires, from Newsom's office.
Not a single mention of controlled burns, emphasis on "social vulnerability factors including social isolation, poverty, language barriers, and other access and functional needs challenges."
He would rather virtue signal than spend any funding re-creating the volunteer programs he destroyed.
EDIT: the closest he gets is saying :
"These recommendations should include, but not be limited to: a. Methods to most quickly deploy personnel and resources onto the landscape for the purpose of performing fuels management. b. Policy changes, including but not limited to procurement or permitting waivers that will allow for more rapid and effective fuels management treatments, especiolly for projects accomplishable before the peak of fire season later this year."
Which is a far cry from the organizations in places like Colorado that have volunteers cleaning and maintaining forests, at no little to no cost to the government

You think you hate Gavin Newsom enough, but you really don't.

 

[Space Faring Marsupial]

No one has planted a eucalyptus on purpose for like a hundred years, they just grow like weeds by themselves.

ffs get some koalas out there and stop the trees.

post evidence.

I came to this tread intending to shitpost a bit, but wow, those videos are horrific. Genuinely praying for those involved.

And that's why these fuckers are tapping into the Colorado River only to throw it away. Just rip the band-aid off and give Arizona some oceanfront property, Mother Nature.

 

[StudMccool]

Lol calm down dude. There has been zero injuries so far. This is not like the Camp Fire.

Also a yuuuuge time span for a double post. Is @StudMccool[/USER] on fire?

im sorry, if Im wrong put me in time out, but im willing to bet my bottom dollar this thing is going to be of historical proportians and id like to document as much of its early part as I can

Feel slightly vindicated, and I did avoid being on fire so far.

 

[Barleys]

I don't get how California doesn't do anything to curtail it's rising brush problem refuses to do anything about it even, has laws that basically prevent any water from being accessed to prevent a situation like this from happening, and was more than likely man-made in it's start. And people still say this is because of climate change. Why don't other states have such a massive fire problem cali?

 

[kiwirevolving]

How do you run out of water when the ocean is right next to you

Though Fagin Newsom and the rest of the liberals there can burn for all I care, I only want the wildlife there to be safe

 

[CryptoHermit]

I would strongly advise anyone who still lives in California to escape into Nevada and day trip back for whatever sentimental purposes compel them.

The entire state is at risk of wildfires AND earthquakes, has 70% of the US homeless population, and its government insists that everything is fine and they’re actually better than you

Homeless and shelter-challenged folx...the fire rises...

 

[TV's Adam West]

The rap community tried to warn us.

 

[FamicomGorby]

Please god don't kill Chris O'neill or Zach Hadel. Do burn my ex girlfriends house down though.

I think they mentioned something about Tomar wanting to "heat things up" this month.

 

[PyrrhicRustle]

How do you run out of water when the ocean is right next to you

The fire is a thousand feet above sea level and mostly in remote areas with little infrastructure.

They don’t have desalination plant

I hope that no one good was hurt, but trust that everyone ultimately gets what they deserve.
