Trump was right again and retarded Democrats laughed at him for pointing this out. California is literally a burning hellhole

>>1373195
>>1373196
Please explain how it's the democrats fault California is a wildfire area. Neither party can control natural circumstances lol. Even though this fire started in residential, it doesn't change the natural climate of the state being favorable for fires.

>>1373201
Because the Democrat leadership refuses to actually do anything about it because they want to virtue signal and give billions to illegals and free heroin to the homeless

>>1373201
you're talking to a retard, why would you challenge him with complex questions like that?

>>1373201

>>1373201
Funny how natural disasters destroying things in Texas is because of the republican governments, but when it happens in California, it's because of greater things like global warming and such.

>>1373292
texas is always the same shit though. every year theres a freeze causing power outages and peoples pipes to burst and trees to fall, etc. ted cruz leaves for cancun. they declare state of emergency wanting to be bailed out, then a week later it's 65 degrees out and everyone forgot for another year.

>>1373215
Keep the forests in better shape, thin the brush, make fire breaks, etc. But the money is being used for illegals and virtue signaling troons.

>>1373295
Are you pretending forest fires aren't a yearly thing as well?

>>1373207
I hate to say it but you're not wrong

>>1373201
They don't clean up the forests. Dead branches and trees make the entire forest floor a fire hazard. Reasons cited: they want to protect endangered species of owls and mice.
They also pump millions of gallons of water into the bay area to protect endangered fish. Which is why fire hydrants are running dry.
California is literally one of the largest sources of fresh water in America due to its unique landscape, but retarded Californians keep wasting it on shit like cranberries.

>>1373297
>>1373295
I'm from Cali. Their electrical infrastructure was so poorly managed at the time pg&e burned down an entire town because they didn't maintain their power lines.
After they declared bankruptcy from it and got sued left and right, to this day they still turn off electricity for large portions of California every time there's moderate or strong winds on a warm day. Areas like the bay area rarely see their electricity shut off, but just about everything around and north of Sacramento will (except sacto itself which is serviced by smud).

For a couple years after pge made it standard policy to shut off large swathes of people's electricity 20-30 times a year, I remember generators were pretty much always out of stock at hardware stores.

>>1373285
You're retarded for framing the question that way. Spending resources on one thing obviously means that other things can't be funded. I know Democrats have zero financial literacy, but state's can't create magic money the way the federal government can

>>1373285
They actually did. Newspm emptied all of the reservoirs and the Karen Bass refunded the fire department to give the homeless more drug kits

>>1373299
These are all things Trump said. IDK why you would take advice on raking a forest from a guy that has never held a rake and has zero education about the topic.

>California is literally one of the largest sources of fresh water in America

This is yet another fine example of Nature Gods sending down divine justice against the evil ultra-rich, their evil dishonest ways of making money, and their greed of over-bloated mansions.

Also it does not help the rich Holywood celebrities are selfisiing hoarding material wealth instead of properly investing in their local communities. Think of the billions of dollars available if they pool together some funds for better water mainlines, forestry cleaning ... etc.

Truly rich demons getting what they deserve, in hell-like landscapes!

The amount of people blaming this on literally anything they can besides climate change is god damn incredible. You absolute fucking clowns are blaming a WILDFIRE on wokeness. Just jesus fucking christ, how stupid can you be?

>every single unit is working to protect hollywood hills and nothing else
sorry you poor faggots, the ultra rich need their shit protected.

>>1373320
climate change might be a factor but it's also literally just a matter of time before this happened with or without putting plastic in the blue bin
calis are retarded mongs who believe they live in the garden of eden because it doesn't get too cold or too hot and shut out anything outside the valley. LA is a desert that only in the past couple hundred years got a bit of greenery, it's destined to return to sand in the grand scheme of geology. We'd have to move literal oceans to make it perpetually green.

>>1373320

Winter is historically the wet season for SoCal. The jet stream is shifting north and changing the overall rain patterns.

>>1373331
I do.

>>1373299
If those species go extinct it threatens the whole ecosystem. Without those fish they lose a biological marker and the whole fishing industry could get fucked overnight.

Meanwhile most of California's forests are federally owned and protected; so even if they wanted to "rake" them they couldn't. Not that it would do anything; there's literally so much the costs of even controlled burns would be so high it's legitimately in their financial interests to just try to control annual wildfires instead.

>>1373334
>If those species go extinct it threatens the whole ecosystem
What the fuck are you talking about
How does the extinction of the kangaroo mouse, the smelt and an owl harm an entire ecosystem.

>>1373335
The smelt is a biological marker; it helps determine the health of the california delta. That's why they were so fucking concerned when it became functionally extinct in the wild; it's a bad sign for the future of the delta itself, so they've been trying to reintroduce it.

The mouse and owl aren't as important, but that's belaying a much bigger issue with overlogging and the sheer scale of california's forests making it difficult to do controlled burns anymore. You can argue "well that's just poor management" but this is the consequence of decisions made over a century ago with no quick fix.

>>1373335
>>1373336
Oh and before you go "Well the smelt is functionally extinct, who cares?". That's the fucking problem; if the thing went extinct it could mean the whole delta is at risk of getting fucked in the next decade or two. If enough has changed to make them go extinct, it means it won't be too long before other species start following suit.

>>1373337
California's reluctance to clear forest debris is tied to the kangaroo mouse and the owl, both of which make their homes in old brush and dead treets
The ecological cost of letting hundreds of thousands of acres burn to the ground, and countless lives being lost, far outweighs the lives of owls and rodents.
>if the thing went extinct it could mean the whole delta is at risk of getting fucked in the next decade or two
WHO GIVES A SHIT?
This state is wasting the most precious resource known to man because they're trying to keep a fucking fish alive.

>>1373338
>WHO GIVES A SHIT?
You know anon, if life in a river dies out, most of that water is probably unsafe to fucking drink.

It's not just "oh we need to protect this fish", it's "oh, if this fish is going extinct, it means pretty soon the river will stop being safe to use and our industries relying on it will die out".

Ecosystems are very delicate things anon. One fish goes extinct. The things that preyed on it for food start losing numbers too. Soon enough the whole river is starting to decay. And if they're already going extinct now, then diverting even more of the delta to use is just going to make things worse.

Also I don't know where you're getting this shit about kangaroo rats and owls. Owls were an influence on California cutting back their logging industry, but right now the issue is there's just too much forest undergrowth to deal with even with controlled burns.

>>1373339
>You know anon, if life in a river dies out, most of that water is probably unsafe to fucking drink.
You're talking shit.
The safest sources of untreated fresh water are pumped from 200ft below the surface, precisely because they are untouched by living organisms.
We know whether or not water is safe to drink because we can test it, not because of a fucking fish.
>Also I don't know where you're getting this shit about kangaroo rats and owls.
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-11-16-fi-57417-story.html
>About half a dozen burned-out families in the Winchester area of south Riverside County say their homes might have been saved if government officials had given them permission to clear the brush and build firebreaks around their property earlier this year.

>But officials from the county, state and federal government discouraged homeowners from creating firebreaks because they could have displaced the Stephens’ kangaroo rat, a tiny rodent put on the federal endangered species list in 1988.

>The Winchester fire, which roared through the mostly rural area in late October, charred 25,100 acres and destroyed 29 homes--some of which may have been saved if homeowners had cleared their land.

>>1373341
>The safest sources of untreated fresh water are pumped from 200ft below the surface, precisely because they are untouched by living organisms.
And two-thirds of our drinking water comes from rivers and lakes anyway, because shockingly we don't have a massive amount of underground reservoirs laying around.

Also, the issue isn't "oh but we can test the water". Yes, we can test the water. And then we find whoops, it's already toxic. Now every industry that relies on said water is fucked, because there's no fish for fishing and the water is unsafe for watering crops. Biological markers are important because it shows the issue before it gets bad enough to detect. If it's already unsafe, you're already fucked. Reversing that is going to take a while, compared to realizing there's bad signs and fixing things before they get that bad.

Plus, that article you posted is from 1993. Literally 30+ years ago. And also misinformed; Stephen's Kangaroo Rats live in grasslands, not forests. They literally prefer a less vegetated environment.

>>1373342
>because shockingly we don't have a massive amount of underground reservoirs laying around.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Aquifers are everywhere. Under deserts, forests, mountains trees, everywhere.
> If it's already unsafe, you're already fucked.
Again, absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
We can make filtration systems using several layers of silt and gravel in a steel tank, which are not only efficient, but completely powered by gravity. A highschool student with a library card could figure this shit out. Alternatively, you could use reverse osmosis.
> Literally 30+ years ago.
Yes, because this bullshit keeps happening. California mismanages their own land and then cries about global warming after their incompetence destroys American homes.

>>1373312
>I guess I was wrong then?
Very much so. Grab yourself a rake, head off down to your nearest woods n get yourself a sense of perspective of what's actually involved here. Just try to get a ½ mile stretch cleared, and see what's involved with keepin' it clear for a week. Then scale that up to what you'd need and try to clock what that'd cost. That's why that doesn't happen. Because the raw number of man-hours involved to do very little. It's f'kin nature, it's not *supposed* to look like the edge of his golf course...

Cutting fire breaks? That's something a firefighter would actually entertain. It's also more cost effective than shit like rakes. Which wouldn't actually solve the problem because once you've a tree on fire that heat *will* spread if there's a leaf there or not. Even fire breaks won't entirely solve the problem. Just make it easier to manage.

>>1373344
The US forest service does controlled burns in other states all the time to ensure that shit like this doesn't happen.
As per >>1373341, California itself isn't even allowing Americans to manage their own properties to mitigate fire risk. Because they are more concerned with endangered species than managing the land.
>Just make it easier to manage.
YES, THAT'S THE POINT.
CALIFORNIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE IN PROTECTING THEIR LAND. SO PEOPLE DON'T DIE.

>>1373343
Anon look it up. Aquifiers don't produce anywhere near enough to replace rivers and lakes. And water filtration isn't that simple; what you described is fine for one or two people camping. Not for the needs of an entire population.

And again, your article is not only outdated, but fucking wrong in the first place. That species of rat doesn't even live in forests.

>>1373347
Anon fire breaks not only are actively in use, but they're also useless in this scenario because the fires are being spread by high winds.

>the amount of retards in this thread not realizing the main issue is high winds that literally would've made this happen even if the forests were clear cut to the last tree

Shitposting and politics aside, I live in LA and the sky looks like an apocalyptic hellscape. Even though I'm not in a fire danger area, the outside air quality is so bad it triggered the smoke detectors in my building and my throat hurts.

I've never experienced anything like it.

you are an absolute fucking retard if you think cleaning up fuel on the forest floor has anything to do with trump. its standard practice along with making fire breaks in places like BC where theres a constant risk of forest fires

>>1373394
The problem is 1. they already do that to the best of their abilities, so Trump's statement is equivalent to telling someone getting robbed they should lock their door and 2. the fire started in residential areas and the high as fuck winds made it drift to other houses. No amount of forest floor cleanings or firebreaks could've prevented it from spreading like it did.

So what will that cost, then? Do the math dipshit. What will it cost to rake that sort of area?

Then factor in that even without the debris, once you get a tree ignited that will spread.

It might be a good idea to take into account (at least some of) this started residential, and strong winds can move burning things a reasonable distance.

The only solution for the fires is to send more money to Ukraine

The current leadership has done all in their power to enable this. Drug addiction so rampant they're stealing millions worth in FIRE HYDRANTS.
The most flammable state in the US, and the mayor cuts the budget of the fire department. Horrible management of local resources leaves the communities lacking water pressure if not straight up dry. Their decisions have not only allowed the ongoing disaster, but has further enabled the disaster to become worse.

>>1373408

Ironically, living among the worst people makes the good ones stand out a lot more. Yeah, I understand how fucked the people here are, I live here and went through community college.

Literally facebook bullshit. The only thing that was "cut" was surplus from the previous year. If anything they actually got a small budget increase.

>>1373446
>Drug addiction so rampant they're stealing millions worth in FIRE HYDRANTS.
k. Lets pretend you're slingin' crack.
Nigger comes up to you: I want some crack, I aint got money, but I've got this fire hydrant....

Seriously, who would buy 'em? Best you've got is weighing 'em in as scrap - but that's likely to not offset the man-hours cost in the collection, they aint high value materials, and any sane scrap vendor will know the best possible outcome is they'll end up being siezed as evidence and they'll be left outta pocket so won't want anything to do with it...

If someone stealing the fire hydrants, it aint the junkies. They'll target high value easily lifted things, with easy resale. Not low value, high effort, high risk things with zero resale potential.

How many fire hydrants it take to make up 'millions worth'. You working that out retail ? Retail plus install?

>>1373449
>How many fire hydrants it take to make up 'millions worth'. You working that out retail ? Retail plus install?
scrap iron is ~$0.05/lb a fire hydrant weighs 300-500 pounds. Obviously if you can sell above scrap you can get more.

A fire hydrant costs the municipality $3000-7000 plus another thousand to install plus hundreds of thousands to lay the water pipe.

plus simple graft can easily steal money earmarked for something else.

>>1373449
Yeah I don't think there's any organized hydrant theft, the crackheads just occasionally break them to get access to the water.
What they do like to steal is copper wire, which is why there's no working streetlights anymore.

>>1373448
Surplus is the term used when "they didn't reach 100% of their previous years budget" Which for emergency services like Fire departments can still be critically needed when you have cases like this where infrastructure has been ripped off roads by dope fiends looking for money to get their next hit with.

>>1373449
scrap metal. There's been cases of manhole covers being taken off roads only to be turned in for scrap money.

>>1373452
Actually in this case it was extra budget set up because services were being restructured. It never really belonged to the firefighters in the first place. If you wanna point budgetary fingers, maybe take up issue with the bonus given to their police instead of their firefighters.

>>1373297
are you pretending a small portion of LA County is the same as half of Texas?

>>1373450
>scrap iron is ~$0.05/lb a fire hydrant weighs 300-500 pounds. Obviously if you can sell above scrap you can get more.
So that's $25 on the outside for a fair amount of effort - not including moving it - and the whole time you're doing it you're exposed (read: easily caught). $25 worth of crack aint lasting ten min. Literally. By this posit, there wouldn't be any fire hydrants, anywhere. The only thing you have more of than crackheads is smackheads, even if most o them is on the pharmacorp variety. And doesn't cover where they *could* sell them. Especially at that scale. Compare to just picking up $150 of versace shirt than can be easily resold for $50. Slightly less risk, as there's less time exposed, higher return, and a shit-tonne less effort.

>A fire hydrant costs the municipality $3000-7000 plus another thousand to install plus hundreds of thousands to lay the water pipe.
So... you're measuring 'millions worth of fire hydrants' as the cost of the hydrant and the cost of install... When municipalities buy these things, they don't tend to buy them in 1's. The scale of the purchase gets the installed cost closer to 3k than 7, but it does depend on a lot of factors: precisely where, what type of hydrant, etc. With those sorts of numbers, you'll cram about 500 fire hydrants into one million dollah.
Apprently it averages about 1-3 fire hydrants per 1000 residents in a built up area, and an average spacing of ~300ft. Meaning about 3,246 acres - or 141,371,500 square feet absented hydrant.

Those missing hydrants, stacked in a pile, would consume approximately 3,141.6 cubic feet of volume. Slightly noticable. Even as multiple smaller piles. And again, there isn't many places you'll be able to offload these.
And that's only 1million worth. To get 'millions' you can scale that 1 easily to get how many 'millions' you had in your head. That pile of hydrants look right to you?

That's notably lesser effort. Exposure time vastly reduced. But you'll need a lotta manhole covers to make it worth weighing in. And if you need to travel more than ten feet to pull it off it'll unlikely cover the gas money.
I'd also wager it's not common. It'll also be the sort of thing where there's only a limited number of places stupid enough to accept such wares... Shit like that goes missing, people look. Aint good when you're found with it. Sensible ones know this. Ones lacking sense will need to hand over names or face the buttrape for it themselves...

People see the reactions of leftists to the wealthy losing their homes; to the extrajudicial killings of businessmen; to October seventh. They see the casual celebration of political violence and instability, and its fast becoming unavoidably clear - you cannot coexist or share common cause with Marxists and enjoy the benefits of living prosperously or peacefully in a first world capitalist liberal democracy.

you're shilling for the elite and all you get are a few rupees per post? sad

I unironically have more in common with the capitalist American elite than a leftist marxist ideologue.

Are you so retarded that you think this is some kind of gotcha because you're arguing semantics? Obviously they need a ton more than that surplus that they cut so the state could give more heroin to the homeless

do you ever wonder how you ended up in such a clown-like line of work?

will mods please ban this schizo freak already? he shits up every fucking thread every fucking day. he says the same shit over and over and never contributes a fucking thing to the conversation. for god's sake ban this fucking idiot.

I don't live in California, but I'm my state, it's a felon to intentionally damage fire hydrants, railroads, power lines, or any kind of public infrastructure. Any scrapyard here would be required by law to call the police of you tried to bring in a hydrant. They're not even allowed to take catalytic converters without the seller registering and having a special scrappers license. It's an automatic felony with prison time of you being in a railroad spike. I can bullshit on anyone having a trailer full of hydrants and the scrapyard just lets it go

>>1373473

>>1373472
>Are you so retarded that you think this is some kind of gotcha because you're arguing semantics?
Its not really semantics. Saying the "budget was cut" is implying that the fire department isn't properly equipped. You have no evidence of that. Your argument is based on nothing but your feelings.

>The U.S. Forest Service has halted all prescribed burning on federal lands across California “for the foreseeable future” while critically dry weather heightens the risk of a big wildfire, especially in the southern portion of the state.
>The directive, issued Tuesday by deputy regional forester Kara Chadwick, said the agency’s firefighters were stretched thin due to wildfires burning in other parts of the country. She said the massive federal agency doesn’t have enough personnel to respond if a prescribed fire escaped containment lines.

no wonder trump wants to start a trade war with canada you filthy americans want our precious water

>>1373478
Yawn. Give it one more week and all the details about how incompetent the government is will come out. This happens every single time when Democrats lie. Remember when Trump got "fact checked" about the Venezuelan gangs and that turned out to be true? Of course your retarded ass doesn't

Now apply that to 10 million dollar homes 100' away from the ocean.

Bro do you actually have any idea how much damage salt does to buildings.
Not even meming. It makes asphalt crumble into dust. California wasn't even prepared to use their own fire hydrants, what you're saying is insane.

NOT ONE DOLLAR TO DEM STATES. When Trump gets in he'll let California get what they deserve. There will be no federal money to them. Only REP states deserve money. Tax the hell out of DEM shitholes, remove taxes from the REP states as they drive the economy. That is what Mr. Trump can must and will do!

With the resources we will take from Canada, Greenland, and Mexico, and an alliance with Russia, America is looking like it's going to make the biggest and most beautiful comeback the world has ever seen.

There's a reason why Fuentes, Milo, and TopG Tate were so popular on 4chan.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of Man.

america doesn't have enough troops to occupy canada we have a larger landmass plus most of you cunts will freeze to death in the northern provinces.

>>1373493
Outside the hardcore Trump supporters, does America actually have the appetite for a war of conquest? You kind of have to whip people up for it, and I just don't see how Trump can drum up war fervor in 2 years, even with shenanigans like an act of "terrorism." Americans just don't feel threatened by Canada, Greenland, or Panama. What's worse is that they share a kinship with them. For instance, the stereotype of Canadians in America is "like me, but with better health and manners."

>>1373498
It is one hell of a whiplash. A lot of people voted for Trump because he was the antiwar isolationist candidate. Harris was the one who was going to start WWIII.

>>1373498
>Outside the hardcore Trump supporters
Nah, most of them are denying Trump said that shit or saying not to pay attention to it because it's just trolling leftists and foreigners. If they were backing him, they would be hyping it up (like Iraq or Vietnam) rather than downplaying it.

>>1373497
>america doesn't have enough troops to occupy canada
lol. Don't worry, we do, but that aside, well just march in and you'll apologize and give your land.

>>1373498
I don't think any Americans support a war with these countries. Trump wasn't suggesting war, but I know a lot of weirdos interpret it that way to his detriment.
Even the troll you responded to doesn't really support it

>>1373498
>Americans just don't feel threatened by Canada, Greenland, or Panama. What's worse is that they share a kinship with them.
It's not about feeling threatened. It's about lebensraum.
MAGA is comprised of working class blue collar americans. They hate democrats because they want to import the third world and have us compete against foreign labor in our homeland.
Elon is retarded because he thinks economic growth is an absolute moral good. What we want is American jobs for American people.
Indians are not like us. Canadians are not like us. Chinese are not like us. Pakis aren't like us. Why should they be here with us? To take our houses and jobs?
The purpose of a nation is to protect her people. Because a nation IS her people. Importing third worlders is a biological weapon, which Biden cheers.
That is why we want isolationism. That is why we want Trump. The concerns of Israel and Ukraine do not matter to us because they do not benefit us.
However, importing the third world is less concerning if we have more economic opportunities. If we have more land, we can move away from the shitskins and the pajeets and the mexi-can'ts that call for the the death of our people every day.
The annexation of new lands fills me with raw, sexual aggression. Because I know I can move there and make it a new America.

>>1373501
oh boy time for the Americans to be the next idiot country to march through the cold storm just like napoleon and hitler did before you.
I hope you realize Canada mostly northern canada, is the coldest country in the world even more so then russia in terms of average temperature.

>>1373504
>It's about lebensraum.
The term is "national interests," at least in America. Even Trump and a few of his advisors were saying it's in our "national interests" to acquire these territories. Living space would not be appealing to Americans as it would be seen as a government handout. We have no collectivist identity.

>>1373506
>We have no collectivist identity.
You don't.

>>1373504
your going to be the first one shot and blown up and the rest of the world will be celebrating it. America isn't invading because it can't the moment you do you get into an international war and start ww3. Russia has nuclear missles on boats stationed at cuba aimed at the US and good luck holding any land you capture.

Us is a net importer meaning you don't produce enough foodstuff or materials to sustain yourself. You know that oil,electricity and food you buy from canada, wanna know why you don't produce it yourself because it'd be more expensive. I'll be happy watching you starve to death most of you cunts won't even survive the winters up here

>>1373505
Luckily like 90% of leafs live like 20 miles from the US/Canada border, you fucking retard.

>>1373506
This. Americans are fine with elites getting the spoils of land grabs so it may trickle down to the masses. Handing it directly to the masses like Hitler and Mussolini paid lip service to would be seen as communism.

>>1373509
you think 90% of canadians live in bloody ontario alone?

>>1373508
I think at this point, they might want the crash. There's a lot of accelerationists around Trump. They think the collapse is happening, so they might as well rip the bandage off now while they have the power to influence the shape of the world after.
