I can't stop thinking about how mayor Karen Bass* refused the offer of help from NYFD. https://archive.ph/zOYU1
Perhaps I have a child's understanding of how the world works, but I think if I were in charge of a city that was having as many stacked problems as LA is right now, I'd be grateful for any help that might come my way.

*say her name, she deserves the shame.
I want it to be impossible for any of the assholes involved in this mess to memoryhole their connection to it.

I joked earlier about the mayor accepting help from Africans, just like Trudeau refused local firefighters when Canada had a big fire and instead flew in some niggers to do the job...which they didn't do because there was a pay dispute, so they held a strike as fire grew around them.
If Mexicans show up and they don't do anything of value as well, we will have history repeating itself, and many keks to be had.

The Palisades fire is a terrible tragedy, but this is a great opportunity to rebuild Malibu as the beacon of California. Affordable government subsidized housing, multi-family tenements, more bike lanes - this is an amazing opportunity for Los Angeles to Build Back Better!

I may have bad knowledge, but eucalyptus oil is also extremely flammable, which is all over the leaves.

And in the bark, and in the trees.

Legit over here in summer they just spontaneously combust, that's how a good chunk of our bushfire start.

But also, Australia is designed for that shit, the fire that's going on now is 88,000 hectares l, been burning for a while and just last night the hikers in the area where told to seek shelter.

LA is not built for that.

It's crazy that the Pallisades fire is nowhere near controlled, these fuckers live are on about rebuilding. Nigga the fires are nowhere near controlled. Gratz you got the Kenneth fire "controlled" but it was the smallest one. This is straight up dellusion and it feels like they are just flat out letting the fire go ahead. It is crazy that all these areas are out possibly destroyed Sunset Blv north and east will probably get torched and they are some of the most well known areas in LA. The city is probably going to lose most its affluent areas.

PLEASE let this be LA's "Detroit Moment" when it becomes a third world shithole everyone jokes about and spits at. I am so sick of seeing LA in media or hearing people talk about it as anything but one large open air homeless shelter filled with pedophiles and druggies.

Matthew 5:45: That you may be children of your Father in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

Natural disasters occur because the world is broken and not operating the way God created it, thanks to Adam and Eve biting into Pandora's box. God's judgment is about consequences--if you're going to go against his precepts (which honestly are common sense and necessary for society to function well) then you reap that reward. The judgment in LA and California is that they are getting what they voted for and support. If good people continue to do nothing then evil will abound, and unfortunately those good people get caught up in the whirlwind.

It's been said over and over--the actual disaster are the people in charge, their insane policies and corruption, and the continued inability to own any of it. I don't see how LA recovers from this anytime soon. The uber rich aren't going to rebuild there, not when it's going to take months for basic services to get back online because California has to continue the bureaucratic nonsense even in the wake of death and destruction. They'll go live in one of their many homes elsewhere. The entertainment industry there is done for--it was already limping along. As usual it's going to be the normal citizen that suffers from this. That's where my sympathies lie.

I hate dooming, and maybe I'm wrong and LA will bounce back. But living in a disaster prone area myself, the two keys to recovery are strong, competent leadership and compassionate neighbors who are eager to help. LA has none of the former and little of the latter. I do hope I'm wrong, though. If there was a time for the SoCal populace to band together and get rid of the rot, it's now.

I have to agree with you. I want to be optimistic, but CA is never going to fix itself with all the issues it has.

The citizens there are overly trusting of their government, even when they've been consistently screwed by them and gaslit into thinking that their politicians have their best interest at heart. Meanwhile, the people have no sense of unity whatsoever due to their constant naval-gazing and shirking of prevalent issues. They look out for themselves and people like them who think like they do, and anyone else can fuck off and fend for themselves, like the homeless.

Meanwhile places like Japan that suffer from constant weather disasters have adopted a mindset where they try to help watch other's bscks and help one another when they can. It's no perfect, and this mindset often works against them, but it helps for disastrous situations like CA is facing right now.

But CA doesn't have any unity whatsoever. Just sheep mentality and total conformity. Honestly, they're as good as cooked over there, and it's hard to hold ot any hope for CA if things don't change internally.

Once a firefighter accidentally left a cool knife in the ashes so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat.

Criminally underrated

>both of them are the exact same scale and effort
You are utterly retarded and don't ever dare to respond to me you stupid nigger. The AI keeps generating fake pictures WHEN YOU SLEEP. It's like passive income but for fake news. And back then there wasn't 2 billion genetically-engineered scammers with an internet connection. How hard is that to comprehend?

the algorithm isn't for you, it's for indians. why are you using it?

this fire itself has been the watershed moment for even the stupidist and most ignorant people to realize that the imagery that people are using to get likes about the fire on social media are ai generated and have nothing to do with the events that are actually happening, so at this point i don't even know what you're complaining about. you're willingly interacting with a system civilized people have been writing off for over a decade because of how shitty and worthless it is, the only people left on social media are third worlders and retired baby boomers

Winds are now being blown mostly north. Thousand Oaks at risk?

I hate to be that guy but that Twitter account always spouts stuff like this and it rarely lands.

 

[Temu Glock Switch]

Agreed they are going to fucking riot, LA has some stunning newer archetecture too especially in the Hollywood Hills due to the area existing pre permit. I would not be surprised if this is triple the cost of Katrina which for Louisiana was 125 billion

It's virtually guaranteed to be more expensive, particularly when you take into account a fair number of flooded buildings stayed intact enough to be refurbished after the storm.
I happened to be reading "Five Days at Memorial" right as the fires began, it's uncanny how many parallels there are with Katrina.

the only way you could parse what i wrote was a joke was the fact that i said "bike lanes" because otherwise it's exactly what comes out of the mouth of californian politicians

>uh uh California isn't the only place that burns
>look at the Midwest they had a big fire too!
>date of fire: 1871

Midwest going over a century without cataclysmic fires whereas California gets one every year. I believe this is what they call 'cope'.

Jesus, there is still smoke. This dosen't end.

West Hollywood is the epicenter of LGBTQ culture in Southern California, and is proud that more than 40% of the city's population identifies as LGBTQ.

I say let it burn

They have no water and the wind is insane. How could it end?

Man, this must be a good moment to remove the trees in LA. Replace them with some hardy tree and then you solved a good portion of the problem.

With the winds picking up, I'm praying that there isn't another tragedy like the Yarnell Hill fire.

Building materials already cost about triple what they did during Katrina times and that's not accounting for the special "CA-approved environmentally-friendly" materials that are probably required. Now double the modern price again because all of these building materials will be impossible to find for the next few years so if you want it you'll pay it. Labor too. Ask anyone who's been through a hurricane how this works.
