The shifty fucks the run California will have no problems finding loopholes or other ways to waste that money. FEMA should declare it a disaster zone and seize the burned land and put it under federal control. If California is too retarded to manage their own shit and stop it from causing billion dollars in damages, then they can have it taken away from them. I think eminent domain is one of the most evil things the government can do, but for California I'm willing to make an exception.

Seizing the land to use as a wildfire barrier for the future would actually make sense. Ban expansion of the city in any direction.

Did the property they stole to give niggers for reparations in a state where slavery was never legal get torched? If so, good.

If you have people and wildlife together it needs to be MANAGED and that’s best done with specialist local advice. The current environmental movement seems to see humans as ‘separate’ from the ecosystem. Now if you’ve got a pristine national park then our impact on it should be minimal, but for places people live in, you’ve got to do shit. Over in NZ they are still trying to get a handle on stuff caused by the PETA types deciding furry invasive possums shouldnt be killed. But those possums kill everything, and that kills the forests. There’s now one species of bird left that has a beak big enough to swallow the seeds of one type of tree and that’s how they are germinated . You must kill possums. You have to trap and kill them and the stoats etc. and the cats. I love cats, but there are places cats do a lot of damage.

That's because the people who truly believe this "original sin" of human estrangement from nature also believe that there is no way back without a living sacrifice of the "unworthy"--that "Nature, red in tooth and claw" and all the creatures across the face of the planet have a moral superiority over humans.

Has anyone posted this yet? I am too busy to keep up with what has or hasn't been talked about.

Dead giveaway that this is fake is the dude calmly saying “we don’t have enough water to put this out” — whooookay, could your fabrication be anymore be any more obvious, you’ve got an ocean right next to you.

1. In order to get water to fight fires, there has to be a working pipe and pump system, any point of which can be destroyed by a large fire or disabled when a large fire knocks out electrical infrastructure.

2. Putting out a fire takes a metric fuckton of water. As large as these fires are and as close of a proximity as they are to residences, businesses and critical infrastructure, these fire crews are probably using 2.5-inch hoses, which at this point are probably being employed in the dozens, if not hundreds. A 2.5-inch hose puts out in upwards of 250 gallons of water per minute. With largely unconfined fires like Palisades and Eaton, it may take days or even weeks to put these fires out. Let's say it takes a week: for a single 2.5-inch hose running constantly, this is 2.52 million gallons of water. Let's multiply that by, say, 200 hoses: that's 504 million gallons of water in a week. By contrast, Los Angeles residents use 3.029 billion gallons of water in a week. That's a huge demand to compete with, likely exceeding the capacity of the city's water system. And this is all in addition to the fact that some of these fires are in places not served by Los Angeles' intricate water supply system.

3. Salt water isn't a good thing for firefighting because it's corrosive, making it incompatible with pump and tank systems found on firefighting apparatuses.

4. The thing about wildfires is that they're usually out of the range of water supply systems, which changes the dynamic when trying to fight wildfires. This is why wildfire suppression focuses on constructing firebreaks and removing dead brush.

Also: Why isn’t he trying to get these people’s faces on camera to incriminate them, if what they’re doing is illegal? Looks to me like it’s just some dudes anxiously running around a fire while this dude calmly films from a car? Like, be so fucking for real.

You do realize that criminals have an inherent incentive to conceal their crimes and maintain anonymity, right? It's almost as if a violent felon, such as an arsonist, has a decent likelihood of possessing a firearm and might use it against you if you film them committing arson.

Good to see you're still seething at the fact that people on the right side of the political spectrum have begun to learn that turning the other cheek is a losing strategy.

Menotaur is just getting the anxiety shakes. He knows that if this were to happen around his area he would be too obese to evacuate speedily, and it serves as a visual preview to what is going to happen to him after he dies.

Your masonry buildings burn just as well:

The bits of stone left standing are not safe and could collapse at any moment.

The rest of the world manages to build just fine despite earthquakes, all it takes is proper buildings for the location.
No excuse to build houses of cheap-ass timber struts and clay, its not 1734 anymore.
