This is pretty hollow considering you've never spoken about this before and you never will again.

Glad you're ok. Now, to this paragraph. As I noted previously. we've brought this issue up before and NOTHING changed. Beyond that, when SHOULD we talk about it? If we bring it up out of the blue you chastise us for only talking politics. But it SHOULD be brought up, especially when you have people acting as incompetently as Newsom and Bass have.

Glad you're safe.

Bump.......

Now you're moving the goalposts.......

Wrong. Just because one budget went up and one went down doesn't mean they took the money from one to give to the other. I'm sure other departments went up and down too. How much was allocated to useless initiatives like DEI that could have stayed with the fire department. Your focus on the police budget is just a deflection.

What does one have to do with the other? Want to enlighten us about the budget for the garbage men too?

Sure they did. I posted a link earlier of Newsom literally lying about this previously. How do I know he's telling the truth now?

Karen Bass says if you need help visit "URL.". She literally said URL.

Alternatively let's do nothing. What's the worst that could happen?

If Karen Bass hadn't cut their budget they could be using designer purses. Unfortunately they had to get cheapies from Wal-Mart.

Maybe they should cut their grass? :Shrug:

I mentioned old maid. She lives in the same neighborhood I grew up in. It's adjacent to the Palisades fire. Not in an evacuation zone at this.point. Texted with a buddy in that area this morning and he's ok so she should be but having dealt with similar situations in that area in the past I can say it's not a comfortable feeling and often you're overwhelmed by the smoke. Hoping she checks in here.

Yup. As someone who grew up there I can tell you that these issues have been discussed for at least 40 years and taken more or less seriously at different times during that timeline. We appear to be in one of the times when it is NOT being taken seriously.

I saw this guy profiled in a documentary. Agreed he was a sick fock. Probably would have fit in well here

It can be both. When politics play a part in the CAUSE of the disaster it's worth discussing. People like @The Real timschochet don't think it's time to discuss the failings that brought things to this point, but as noted by my links above we brought those issues up the LAST time this type of thing happened and nothing has changed. So, when do we discuss them?

Just getting up to speed on these fires. Found this good 3d map showing evacuation orders and to an extent where and the status of fires: https://calfire-forestry.maps.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=0a7381c8b46b4e26a057383424f32c06 @OldMaid Hope you're not getting too much smoke and all is well.

Bullsh*t. We've been talking about this for years. Here are a couple of posts showing Newsom LYING about doing something about it and protecting a power company responsible for KILLING people: So if we've ALREADY talked about it YEARS ago I think it's FAIR for us to bring it up AGAIN. Maybe this time something will get done. Not likely given California and all, but we can hope.

It's like California, which has always been a free state, considering giving reparations to the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of slavery.

She also cut the fire Dept budget by $20 million this year. She's a POS.

Yes, it's obvious you DON'T value your integrity. That was another lie.

If you value your integrity why do you lie so frequently?

I told you guys when be got here he does this kind of sh*t. And some people think he's reasonable because he acts like he learns something. But a short time later it's like whatever he learned flies out the other side of his head. It's like his head is an empty vessel.
