First Local Gavin Interview I found

Does this have sauce?
Also note how he immediately started thinking and talking about small business loans.
It's all they can think about - "how do we increase the debt leverage we have over the local populace?"

I got two things to say:

1. Adam Carolla is a giant faggot and he probably didn't get hired for the fire department because they didn't want him playing ass-grab with the other men. Every time he opens his mouth to bitch about building codes, I realize that if he had his way, building a fucking favela on your property and charging cheap rent to illegals so you could fuck their kids would be AOK by him. Also, his ass is canonically crusted in shit at all times.

2. Anyone who doesn't think there are 85 IQ Aryan gigachads working some firelines right now doesn't know a lot of firemen. Stupid people can swing a Pulaski just as hard as smart people. Hell, darkies were brought to this continent to do that shit. The recruitment problem probably has more to do with the firelines not having gaming consoles, waifu pillows, and tendies. The idea of doing outdoor physical labor is anathema to these people. There's the sun! And hills you have to walk up! And you come home looking, sounding, and smelling like Sirius Black when he's communicating through the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room!

In conclusion, fags.

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

You're thinking of Reynolds v. Sims (1964).

The case was another Warren Court turd dropped right in America's mouth that forbid states from apportioning state legislative seats on the basis of county/electoral district (regardless of population) and required that they do so on the basis of population because the 14th Amendment is the Philosopher's Stone of Progressive jurisprudence and enables all violations of individual or state rights if you stare into it long enough.

The big mistake was applying it to both houses of the state governments. The state senates should have remained on the basis of electoral districts and not population and each district should have the same number of representatives irrespective of population. Equal-district representation is logical for the House.

However, with that I would require the number of seats in both to be expanded proportionate to population without limit.

I just realized I can give some personal experience on this, since I worked in the conservation corps. Part of my job was just going out there and clearing out dead brush with a weed whacker. I keep hearing about how they want to ban gas weedwhackers, which is unfathomable levels of stupid. The electric ones, wildly more expensive than a gas model, need to be charged overnight with the battery basically being worn as a backpack. Thus means if there was any sort of charging failure, that's a full day of work you could be missing out on. Even more, because it's a battery and not gas, it loses power the closer to empty it gets. So even if you have 20% left in the tank, it might as well be empty because instead of a clean cut you are leaving jagged marks in the ground from lack of power. Forcing a whole truck of people to use those things is insanity, and can only come from someone who sits in the office as a "climate consultant."

(Unrelated, but they had us required to put on masks during covid, even as we were in the middle of the fucking forest.)

I genuinely think of the clean energy people as cultists. They have self indocrinated themselves into the solar/wind battery powered future so hard that they can't even wrap their heads around anything gas powered being better for the enviroment and not worse.

Mostly when I speak about diversity in this context I mean leadership or female firefighters. Different racial groups of men are fine as front-liners, but don't do well in some leadership positions (like the mayor). Women do a lot of things to help with the fire, but as front-liners it's really stupid.

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Yes, U-Haul Ran Out of Trucks for People Moving Out of California

 

[Trout and Tears]

I think he actually will. But he's definitely going to make sure California knows who is in charge and doing things, and he's going to rub his dick all over Newsoms smug face.

That and the Republican Congress is definitely going to drag California officials to Washington for a public dressing down. California will get its Federal money, but their leaders will have to do the Kow Tow for it.

You and I both know they would let the entire state burn than do that

 

[Facts and Fallacies]

Good morning firewatchers!

The LA fires have finally made their way to my house in the form of terrible air quality. Visibility from my house towards town is very limited and the mountains beyond are completely obscured by smoky air, which smells like a campfire. I went outside to feed all my animals and now my chest hurts and I’m hacking like a lifelong smoker. You can rest assured that those of us poors who weren’t burnt to a crisp are going to die choking on the ashes of the aristocrats’ mansions.

More rolling power outages in my area have cut internet and cell reception for many people. Just in time for the nighttime temperatures to start getting really low, too. I have had one friend go into early labor over the stress.

Schools are still closed but church isn’t. Contrary to an earlier accusation so inflammatory and bizarre I never even responded, the church I attend does not regularly sacrifice babies to Moloch or host Drag Queen Story Hour or any other such nonsense.

SCE is churning out social media content trying to justify the sympathy shutoffs and people are not having it anymore. The anger is real. It’s worse because some areas had power restored only to lose it again 8 hours later. The scuttlebutt is that shutting everything off so abruptly has had more longterm consequences than anticipated.

Are your animals faring okay through the smoke? This thread is a shit show of "do commifornians deserve the incinerator, yes or yes" but the domestic and wild animal populations don't deserve God's ire

 

[Honored guest]

That's really disgusting. Gavin is spinning so wildly and activating his full army of political stooges and liars. It reeally makes you wonder what is out there that hasn't come out yet? Because this gaslighting is easily disprovable. The Fire Hydrants Didn't work you asshole! There was no water in the water mains when the big one finally blew into town. Buck stops with you Mr Damnbuster.

I think what we're seeing is the panicked realization that most if not all of the blame is going to get dumped at his feet. He's probably going to call in all his favors and use whatever resources are at his disposal to try to weasel his way out and find a fall guy. His dreams of winning the 2028 presidential election are going up in flames with the city and he can't have that.

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Guy made a parody training video of LA fire dep.

Kinda sad because it doesn't seem too unrealistic

 

[Anonitolia]

The Eaton fire is supposedly at 27% containment. Additionally, it seems to be petering out according to UC's website. That, or everyone who was reporting on it suddenly vanished.

I'm linking things here because I keep getting parsing response errors and seem unable to post images. Awesome.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

I have no disrespect for the Mexican firefighters who came here. Honestly, a rare case of Mexico sending their best AND they are gonna go back to Mexico when its all over.
It's just dumb that its obviously Newscum playing politics to PWN DRUMPF in a time of crisis with people's lives and livelihoods on the line.

"Emergencies have no borders" has to be the most retarded quote in history. When are you going to North Korea to help them with the famine Mr Newsom.

Don't give him any ideas.
Next think you'll know he'll give all of California's food to Fat Boy Kim and then blame Trump for the resulting food crisis.

DEI is bullshit. DEI doesnt start wildfires.

View attachment 6849437

But its easier to place blame, than fix a problem.
Convince me otherwise.

Nobody is saying DEI starts a wildfire.
People are saying DEI wastes resources on useless feel-good programs, promotes incompetence, and either stifles if not outright punishes effective staff for the crime of checking the wrong boxes.
Many fire departments & wildland fire orgs are understaffed and underfunded. Spending millions of dollars to make them sit through powerpoints about white privilege, generational trauma and genderfeels bullshit is a waste of both time, money and human resources, to say nothing of promoting people on the basis of identity politics.

The fires are caused by everything from natural occurrences (look up the natural connection of lightning strikes in Florida, Georgia & the Carolinas to the sandhills & flatwoods ecosystems if you don't believe me), to accidents (telephone wires, discarded cigs, etc.), to intentional arson.

The fires are then made worse by forest mismanagement & manmade habitat degredation (invasive species, no prescribed burns, hydrological alteration).

The response is then hampered by DEI.

No one ever said DEI causes the fires.

He could go full chud and say, "Hey, you know what? You are right. This was because of fat lesbians or whatever you want. Anywho - No more illegals and no more crime. Total nigger death, lmao."

I mean, why not? Might as well try throwing everything and see what sticks and hell - Maybe a 180 might make metro parts of CA actually tolerable.

What the hell are the Red Hot Chili Peppers gonna sing about now?

Anthony's visits to Pedo island?

 

[KiwiFuzz2]

I don't think Newsom is capable of the kind of meaningful and empathetic self-reflection needed to be sorry for his part in this, and I don't think Karen Bass is capable of organizing her thoughts enough to understand why she should be tarred and feathered.

Now I'm thinking both this and Lahaina were both operations to drive people out and take opportunity of the land prices in the aftermath.
Give real estate conglomerates and the finance industry's mortgage backed securities and their obsessiveness at making their balance sheets look pretty... I'm asking questions. I've been seeing a lot of fuckery with things like natural disasters and insurance quotes lately in many western countries. I think banks, real estate moguls, insurance corporations and governments are conspiring to burn, flood, reevaluate and bully people out of their properties in order to manipulate the market. I'm not suggesting they're all in one bag, this is just the side effect of competition nowadays. Obviously something set this off decades ago (likely the GFC and toxic asset pools that became so bad that these corporations are now willing to sacrifice people for the sake of floating the economy) and now this sort of corporate racketeering is considered legitimate business for these major corporations. I guess covid crashes made the situation dire.

This sort of behavior reminds me of early colonial corporate practices where they would literally start fires in places to drive "problems" out of areas. Or corporations that sabotage the local area around their competition to monopolise the market (like Chicago and NY and it's mafias and how they were utilized by corporations to fuck over other corporations). Corporations have historically done this shit in the past and I guess we're seeing it again.

Reminder that Lahaina had a long history of hiring definately-not-blackbirded foreigners to that area to the point of harming property prices. In that case they needed to drive up prices.

In LA's case, given the expense of the location and the likelihood that many people have bought out the equity on their properties (because of high income earners in Hollywood and other local thriving industries such as tech industries in the region) may suggest that the goal was to drive those people out temporarily to make money on the price fluctuation, but also to make sure they never earn insurance claims (that would be bad to these financiers who are leveraged on insurance liabilities being paid off by having pools of liquidity available and not being used by insurance lendees to pay claims requested by anyone insured in that area). Finally, they would then cash in the cheaper property prices in the aftermath, taking a long position on these assets. Remember, these properties will go up some time after an immediate slump post fires. You're also talking about an area where rich locals are most likely (that is, near guareteed) able to buy from you "after some time in the future", but not likely immediately because of the fires (that is they aren't competition for these properties immediately after these fires).
The payoff is likely billions of dollars that could be a positive thing for these banks and their balance sheets here. If the economy is about to head for disaster for some balance sheet related reasons that are unavoidable, this might be how they try to avert such a crisis.

Welcome to modern finance.
I've been watching these motherfuckers do this shit over and over again for 15 years now.
I GUARANTEE these assholes are doing this.
They will kill you if you negatively impact their balance sheets. They are pure evil.

Spoiler

Almost as bad as KF.

No, you can’t just go get a job as a firefighter in California because you want to.

There’s no private fire departments, and working government jobs in California means far above market pay with a pension that you’ll probably never actually get because they won’t be able to pay you, but on paper it’s so fucking far above what the private sector is allowed to provide that being a DMV clerk makes you a minor lordliny.

I’ve said it before, let me repeat it. I was in the Sacramento area ten years ago, and caltrans advertised paying FLAGGERS $37/hour. The retards who stand there holding a stop sign. At the same time, that job in NH is private sector because financially literate states don’t try to co-opt the entire industry of road paving, and that job paid $12/hour with shit benefits and you’d be laughed at if you asked about a pension plan.

So fuck off with “nobody is stunning and brave enough to fight fires,” California just realizes they can’t afford the bar they set and they want to reduce costs by using prisoner slaves

 

[MirrorNoir]

It would take ALL of LA burning down just for a chance, just a chance, for anything to change for the better in California.

Problem with that is San Francisco will still be standing and to make the state a better place you need to wipe out BOTH cities and at the same time, since you just know that SF is already consolidating power now that LA is falling.
