Burning down LA works as an ad blocker? Why haven't we been torching these motherfuckers day and night?

All the retards crying about the joy people feel seeing californians die have clearly never interacted with californians or lived in the shithole. Take the faggotry of Idubbbz and Anisa, the superiority complex of moviebob, the narcissism of Onision, and the complete disregard for reality of your average tranny then roll them into one ugly lump of flesh and you have your average commiefornian.

They probably hired some illegals to redo the plumbing. I did some renovation work on some houses illegals worked on and literally all of them had fucked up plumbing. Basic shit anyone with a brain could tell is a bad idea like metal inserted into pex pipe or like 8 90s in a single rooms run of pipe. That or they're just retarded californians and put all the water towards growing literally flavorless green mush known as avocados.

Don't forget that even if the plumbing worked and they had plenty of water, apparently junkies have been stealing parts of the hydrants or even entire hydrants themselves whole. There is just no hope for this state, I say this is nature doing them a favor.

Too little too late, if you live anywhere near this fire and you're still there you're just fucked.

Further social/demographic thoughts as someone from California:

Malibu/Palisades burning down if taken just in the accounting sense, is hundreds of millions of dollars of property loss without even taking into account what those rich folk had stored in their houses. The Palisades/Malibu area is the wealthy area if you're looking for the most expensive property outside of Notch's house or whatever. Santa Monica is for rich people who want an apartment or maybe a beachy house (but not venice because thats more stinky). Bel Air and Beverly Hills are for people who want to live like mid-century movie stars. Brentwood is for rich people raising a family. But Malibu and Palisades are a set apart. The plots of land and the buildings on them are newer and more massive, with less urban density. I've seen houses on sale for 50m dollars. But all of it is prime real estate even when burnt to the ground. Maybe even more so. I can't imagine this won't directly impact that class of people. They're going to be horrified that they almost lost their mansion, and they definitely will know someone who did.

There are going to be a lot of pissed off rich people. There are going to be a lot of pissed off center-left liberals thanks to the Eaton Canyon fire, as Pasadena/Altadena/Sierra Madre is the area where you will find Boomers, retirees, elderly, Generation X locals, and millennials starting their families. All of it is going to be laid at Karen Bass and Newsom's feet who will claim climate change is the reason this is happening. This is after we already had enough votes to call for a vote to get rid of Newsom, but didn't get enough to kick him out. This is after Gascon the Soros DA was almost voted out but kept in on what could be said was at worst a technicality, and at best legislation designed to make it as difficult as possible. This is after we passed the proposition to prosecute petty theft after all the inconvenience and anarcho-tyranny of shoplifting. There is an edge to how much Californians will tolerate of a shit show.
In the 2024 election, Donald Trump received the most votes for a Republican presidential candidate in California's history.
On January 6th, the "World Leader" most comparable to Gavin Newsom, Justin Trudeau resigned after having a similar party platform.

Optimistic take: is that this will ruin Newsom's career. That would be the best outcome.
Coldest take, I can't imagine that things are going to continue as they are, and something will break in the right direction.
Most tinfoil take: It's Hawaii 2.0. Empty hydrants, an absent mayor, no new reservoirs, bad forest management, predictable failure point.

There's also the issue of the system maintenance and pressure designs, you're not supposed to use all hydrants in the city at once (or above a certain amount). The system theoretically should be able to use a certain amount of flow, but that also requires the houses not to be burnt (they just become pipe leaks). At hydrants themselves debris build up and can affect the hydrant if they don't flush it often by opening it... Which in cali is what I expect them to do.

There's also the fact that CA is retarded and won't use manage their water better. They can go fuck themselves with how often they mess up the Insterstate Colorado Compact.

Last best place aside from Alaska (Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming) are full too, fuck off). I guess you can always move from Kalihell, Hamilton and Bozeangles to the high-line.

How many times does this have to happen before they learn how to manage their forests? It seems like this shit happens 2-3 times every single year without fail. What are they doing over there?

Forrest fires are natual. Forrest fires in cali are more frequent (several plants reproduce by literally burning and exploding) than other places naturally due to the low rainfall. Gov is retarded. You do the math.

In a follow-up post I specifically said bunker busters. I.e: Hole makers.

You know bunker busters are meant to dig themselves like up to half a mile into the ground and detonate there so as to crack the foundations of a bunker and make it collapse on it's self.
The only thing that might work are Fuel Air Bombs. But good luck getting Sleepy Joe to drop a FOAB. Even higher luck for the C-130 carrying it to not miss and hit civvies.

Wishing fire death on fellow Americans is
Quite sick. I never felt anyone particularly should die in a hurricane; drown trying to survive or be burnt to death. Seeing people come into the thread and give thanks to the destruction is pretty sick.

Considering people who hate you and who actively engage in behavior that reduces your quality of life your fellow Americans is a mental illness.

We're already strugglin. Won't say which city but mine is dealing with every other big city (including the cunts in missoula) buying bus tickets for all the homeless and crack addicts to come to my beautiful city. Absolute fucking bullshit AND NOW WE HAVE EM FROM CALI AND CHICAGO.
Our chief of police had to make a meeting about people not having gun racks in their cars anymore but basically everyone has a shotgun they don't want to use, but will.
I'm so tired of the people from Cali making all the homes go up 500% in price by over buying and the chicago people bringing in more crime. My state was never perfect, we always had one horrific incident every 5 years, but now it's every year.

My own thoughts about this situation are pretty complex too. I don't want people to lose their homes or get burned alive. That is very horrific. But at the same time it's very hard to not shake the sense that God has refused to restrain his hand. It is utterly undeniable if you are a religious person that if this is truly God's wrath unveiled, it would not be unjustified in the slightest.

Now to be fair, you can make similar claims about any natural disaster. But Fire really does hold a special place in the hierarchy of judgements, so its very hard to not at least have that thought like a splinter in your mind.
