L.A. fires: Anxious residents eager to return to evacuated homes

LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone:
We plan for the repopulation of evacuated areas, when safe. The repopulation of residents in the evacuation order areas will not occur for at least one more week for the areas that are deemed safe. So when I say one more week, that does not include the entire evacuation order area. We're doing our best, as we know this is a challenge for our residents.
 
I occasionally see mention of all the planes and helicopters that are going to California to help with the fires.
Then I look at FlightRadar24 and I wonder where they are parked, or if the lack of aircraft is just more information being hidden.

I just don't get what some of these outspoken fools get out of protecting the government and their objectively apparent incompetence. What do they gain out of this kind of PR damage control? Just admit these people are retards.
Whenever I find myself asking those same questions, I reimagine the same situation happening in China and it all makes sense.

People in this thread have lived for years, decades, of watching politicians and unelected bureaucrats fuck up the will of the people. Look at the Democratic party electing "hope and change" Obama, only for him to staff his admin with investment bank CEOs and bail out the fuckers who caused the great recession with taxpayer money. Look at people voting Biden because muh black lives, only for cops on his watch to continue ruthlessly beating the shit out of protestors. Look at Canada and the UK, where every election they vote to stop the brown flood, and every government opens the gates wider.

To see at all that and then think "Californians voted for this" is 60 IQ shit. I suspect that they voted for people who promised better fire management, lower cost of living, competent governance, etc, then rugpulled them once in office. This won't be the last major disaster of the decade and the next one might hit your home. We have to have some empathy and we have to save our anger for the fuckers in charge.
 
I'm a bit jilted about the heatmaps not being updated, though like a lot of users here have mentioned that it might be a coverup or it was just smoldering fire.

If it was the former, I feel sorry for the Californians who lived on the border of the evac zone. If the fire does continue to grow bigger, they wouldn't know the exact progression and location. The next thing they knew is that their neighbour 1 block away is experiencing full burning Rome, and I fear that they don't have enough time to evac.

This would be alot easier if Californians would stop fucking up the rest of the country with their diaspora
 
I've been paying close attention to the evacuation zones and more are being taken out of the warning list, they've been repopulating the evac areas near Encino and Tarzana.

That said I'm still mildly disappointed with the containment percentage for the Palisades Fire not increasing at a decent pace, the Eaton Fire is already over 50% contained.

In 1992 hurricane Andrew scraped human habitation off a wide swath of south Florida, Floridians were like "WTF bro?" In fear of Florida man, local politicians did an in-depth investigation, and found the building standards in place were nearly useless against hurricanes.

That really pissed people off, as they had been paying the government to establish building standards for Floridians to be safe.

After some muttering about the availability of gator filled swamps, Florida rapidly established new regulations so thorough, that using the wrong pattern of nails on roof shingles can cause a builder to have to replace the entire roof at no cost.

"60 IQ shit" is having an annual lethal danger, and doing nothing. 50 IQ shit is saying 'well they may have been lied to for a century, so it may not be their fault.'

I hate climate change shilling so much. God forbid the people actually causing problems are held accountable- it’s the climate! Making it too hot for the trees! Water management doesn’t exist. Forest management doesn’t exist, either- forests are enclosed systems, just like my computers! Why would leaving debris and eucalyptus trees in the most flammable part of the country cause a fire?

This is an actual talking point by the way.
I hate to be some Reddit akshually motherfucker but correlation does not mean causation, especially when there are more direct, provable causes of these fucking fires.

Environmentalists suffer the same problem the gay lobby has: all their original stated goals were accomplished 30 years ago but the fundraising abilities are too enticing so they refuse to wind down. So instead they invent shit to complain about and the demands get dumber and dumber.
I heavily disagree, the two are not comparable. There’s no need to invent stuff when it comes to environmental issues, and yet these retards do it anyway because again, retarded liberals. Look at the oil protest that just happened as an example.
Gays got what they wanted, same sex marriage was legal and I’d bet most people back in the early 2010s didn’t give a shit if you were gay or even trans. They realized their victim status was being revoked and they didn’t like it. The entire goal of their campaign was to convince society they’re normal people, and when they achieved it suddenly they had nothing to grift.
The environmental issues still persist and are worse than ever because of, yet again, China and India, as well as soulless CEOs. Like @SpergioLeonne said, cheaply manufactured garbage is the new future. Electronic devices are built to have a short lifespan so you have to constantly buy replacements. People are obsessed with CONSOOOOOMING and the stuff they buy is all future landfill. Yeah, it would be nice if everyone stopped doing $100 Dollar Tree hauls and invested in recycling, but believing this is possible is delusional. And it’s a lot easier to blame middle class white chicks who shop at Target every single day, than the billionaires who enable this reality and the countries bankrolling them.
I don’t want to shit up the thread with more OT so I’ll stop sperging on this, but every fucking day I hate liberals more and more and environmentalism is another one of their casualties
 
Any time there's some big wildfire in California or wherever the DEW conspiracy retards always come out in full force, and this time is absolutely no exception.
DEW builds are worthless unless you have managed to score an epic pheonix ship token so you can get the D.O.M.I.N.O. console.

errr... It's just something I heard @Fapcop 's Wife say.

This was true of homes built in the 70s and 80s during a slow down in Hurricane activity. Homes built in the 60s looked like cinder block cubes but did relatively well in the storm.

Politician Janet Reno's mother built a house that was so sturdy it only lost one shingle.

Subsequently, Dade county has some of the strictest building codes in the country.

And L.A. can't figure out how to remove dangerous brush when it's still green.
It's like if Buffalo NY was suddenly like "Snow plows? Um, we sent half to Ukraine, and we can only get drivers for 10% of the remaining." during the first blizzard of winter.

This is 190 proof retardation, and it's only January. The writers for the 2025 season of Earth simulation are starting strong.
 
This is an article from late November. Think about the leverage Trump has after reading this. These fires are the absolute worst thing that could have happened to LA politicians at this point.

L.A. politicians ask Trump for $3.2 billion to pay for Olympic transportation projects
Los Angeles already hosted the Olympics in the 80s so they don't need any new transportation infrastructure for them. Trump should refuse to grant their funding request as it's not related to the Games and the city is just trying to get the rest of the country to pay for their local transit system, which is not something that federal money should be spent on. The feds should only fund interstate transport like highways and airports; local taxes should pay for local transport.

Look at this slimy motherfucker. He's giddy over the wildfire and openly talking about getting in touch with Hawaii to hash things out. You can't tell me he doesn't stand to gain from intentional sabotage and mismanagement financially even if his political ambitions are shot.



Also Hunter Biden will get millions of bucks for losing his "priceless" paintings.


And David Lynch died after the evacuation and smoke due to his breathing condition.



These sick bastards have no accountability and people wonder why Luigi has fans.



It's a real mystery.

But in all seriousness, what are the odds of someone going postal? Newscum thinks he's untouchable and he's literally playing with fire.
