Wild Fires In LA

Right foot forward, always prefer to face the tube.

It's okay to be goofy

John Stossel, a true libertarian had a video on Facebook a few years ago which their Marxist censors removed, it was on politicians failing to allow effective forest maintenance which would limit the severity and scale of wild fires. He’s posting about it on X.

X/Twitter has many unfiltered news clips, Newsom who is usually polished and effective as a speaker appears confused and weak. His comment stating “Getting water to fight the fires is a local issue.” is Bidenesque.

Adam Corolla quote

“You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. You all voted for Gavin Newsom, and now you ****ing get what you get. now that your house is on fire.So here's what's going to happen. All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they're going to get the 28 year old ***** from the Coastal Commission telling them to go **** off and then they're going to vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next.When they start getting the regulation, they're going to go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for Rick Caruso next time.They're going to find out they're going to get bit by their own snake. They're going to convert. I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet and they're going to be ****ing rip **** pissed when the City and the Coastal Commission tell them to **** off. We're going to have to restructure the whole thing because we can't have nine angry lesbians controlling everything that goes on in Malibu, the Palisades and Santa monica."

Pretty much on point

Saltwater might degrade some fittings....over time...a long time.

But when you're up to your azz in alligators, you can't worry about the idea that you are there to drain the swamp.

Using whatever water is available is the only reasonable thing to do and if necessary, replace some fittings in a few months or years, if necessary.

Not exactly, salt water can go more damage than good and not just to the equipment (hoses, trucks, planes, helicopters, ect). Salt is corrosive and the salt has to go somewhere....meaning it could damage vegetation, fresh water sources where the run off eventually will end up, streets, walks, ect.

Obviously it has nothing to do over concern about replacing fittings.

The desalination plants in Israel produce 100s of thousands of gallons of fresh water. As wild fires have affected coastal California for ever, not sure why this has never been done, especially now that the technology exists. But the politicians have chose to spend the tax dollars elsewhere and the citizens continue to vote them in.

Maybe new Senator Schiff will offer some answers, some are "In plain sight".

was this suposed to be a spoof of NPR? I have a sense of humor, but still don't get how postinggarbage during a tragedy is funny-we laugh about different things. If the fir chief were a white male and the exact same events of wildfire spread occurred, would you post a video mocking him ?
We need two threads;

One about the Fires.

One for the RW folks to post mockery, cartoonish videos, dump on democrats, blame it on DEI and spread fake news - which is the same content they post anyway, and about anything

My apologies to anyone who is experiencing loss from the fire; it is an embarrassment to witness some of the responses here.
