Of Course: It Was Arson; Started by arsonists? Magnified by bureaucrats.

Hot Air 

"The reality, though, is simpler: mentally ill homeless people, poor land management, misplaced budget priorities, and insane DEI-obsessed policies made this disaster inevitable." 

. . ."Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jillian Michaels and Sara Foster have joined Donald Trump in slamming local and state officials amid the devastating Southern California wildfires.

"RadarOnline.com can reveal the fitness personality, 90210, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer stars took to social media to express their frustrations while slamming Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom. ...

"Foster, 43, made her feelings clear on X, writing: "We pay the highest taxes in California. Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared.

" 'Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits."

"Like Trump, 82, Foster also called on Newsom and Bass to resign as she claimed their "far left policies have ruined our state. And also our party." . . .


. . ."And what about controlled burns? Didn’t they at least do that? No. “Forest Service Halts Prescribed Burns in California. Is It Worth the Risk?” reported KQED in October. See: If a controlled burn got messy, it would look bad, like, politically, and also, fire can be scary! So the U.S. Forest Service didn’t do them.

"Here’s Michael Wara, energy and climate expert at Stanford University, explaining: “I think the Forest Service is worried about the risk of something bad happening [with a prescribed burn]. And they’re willing to trade that risk—which they will be blamed for—for increased risks on wildfires.” Which, he says, can then just be blamed on “Mother Nature.” . . .  Hence, the dangers of an ill-informed public.

Of Course: It Was Arson Here's a lesson in Bureaucracies and how they affect us all. TD:

 Socialism update: No lights in Cuba, no water in L.A.  "At some point, socialism collapses. It does not have to be overthrown, it simply collapses on its own. 
"Down in Cuba, mismanagement did not update the power plants. 

"Over in Los Angeles, environmental fanaticism means that the fire hydrants can't pump water. 

"Incredibly, no one in LA has the courage to explain why the hydrants can't pump water. 

This is the story:" . . .
