Uncensored discussion of the four-year dark winter predicted by and carried out by Biden
@MentORPHEUS I read that fixing the reservoir would cost around 130k. Surely that could have been done within a year. If fixing it had been a priority, it would have been been fixed, but the DEI people running things were too stupid to know it should have been a priority. The oligarchs gave us DEI and things like fire and water departments with all female leadership teams, and the results speak for themselves. Incompetence all the way around. Fire pumps that couldn't operate because they were on the same power supply that was turned off in the areas burning? Just stupid people running things.
@deeplydisturbed Oh my bad, I thought perhaps I was in the middle of an interesting discussion where we would challenge each others ideas by way of demonstrating we understood what each person was saying.
Re @MentORPHEUS reply...
A man can grasp your concepts, understand, and process them fully - AND bust your balls for being ironic.
You seem to be a decent person, and a bit literal. he was just teasing.
I can hardly get through half a response without being called a dinner roll, an FDS Dinner Donor, or "ghey".
That's why I love this place.
And..
Here are some vCards for being a virgin.

@MentORPHEUS You’re not grasping the abstract that relates to both cases. I can’t force you to see it, but I have fairly demonstrated via example the argument I’m making.
It makes no odds to me, I suppose, if you are or are not aware of the ideology of the people driving your state into the ground.
I don’t want to inundate this topic with tangential examples
(Adds paragraphs about migrants in a theater literally on the far side of the planet from the fires getting discussed)
slow clap
Do you see it yet?
To be blunt, what I see is that you are full of Right Wing Talking Point SHIT!
The fire department budget wasn't cut by tens of millions because someone who's gay decided to. It was cut by fiscal bean counters who gave over 100 million more in the same move to the police department instead.
The civilian mechanic staff wasn't cut leaving over 100 major pieces of fire equipment out of service to load the staff with more diverse hires, it was a FISCAL Hobson's choice between that or cutting hundreds of front line firefighting staff and closing 15 fire stations in the wake of the budget cuts.
The Santa Ynez reservoir hasn't been out of service since last February because of Gavin Newsom or the imperiled fish population in the Sacramento River Delta or Environmentalists or DEI hiring or decision making practices as Right Wing pundits have suggested. It's because of the fiscal realities of competitive bidding process in place for all government expenditures and the substantial costs of repairing/replacing a 15 year old cover over a reservoir that is several acres in size.
I'm calling out the fact that you haven't added one single relevant or useful idea or suggestion to the discussion of the fires here. All you've done is stroke a certain demographic's cultural talking point boner.
Read MorePJW has one of the most punchable faces on the internet, I swear!
You just hate him because he's right.
No, I hate him because like so many who rise like dead fish to the top of the pop MAGAsphere, he's a purveyor of shallow right wing rage bait talking points. He serves to put a Gish Gallop of distractive garbage out into the discussions that threaten elite interests, ensuring the conversation never rises above the level of superficial and insubstantive trivia. Hell, he's probably on the payroll of people like The Resnicks. I notice that you too have failed to even mention the Resnicks while spinning your wheels on trivial thoughts on the important topic of the fires and their underlying causes.
This isn't either of those subreddits.
Way to tacitly agree that the PJW video is right wing rage bait without actionable solutions, much less meaningful analysis.
all the emotional flouncing I see in all your replies
Says the guy who didn't offer a single character of response to the information contained in long fact dense post I made from the perspective of someone who has lived almost 6 decades in Los Angeles County. Flounce doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.
Dropping a PJW or equivalent shitpost is not engaging the topic.
Was on sabbatical for most of the fuckery around here in the past couple of years.
