Yes, "We are one" was/is just as big a fantasy in America as it was/is in Australia...everyone defining themselves by race and waving their own flags.
Oh well, such is life.

We have enemies who would love to see Hollywood all just burn, and they are getting their wish, and the fires are probably all being set by our enemies who live here among us.

We need to do more in the future to stop and prevent these fires. This is bullshit, and it is unacceptable. We can bring in the Basques to run herds of sheep, cattle, and goats, etc, to reduce fire danger. We can also put in water sprinkler systems to extinguish fires. And more water dropping air craft can be manufactured in Mojave. We must do more to prevent these fires.

Meanwhile, Nero burned Rome just so he could rebuild it, it will be fun and exciting to rebuild, and the best architects from around the world can be brought to California, and people can hire the best landscapers and there can be cobblestones, and fountains, and trees, etc. They can spend the money to rebuild and they can rebuild it to be better than it was.

Then for insurance, the Knights of Columbus sell insurance now, and the money can go to Catholic Hospitals, and to Catholic Schools, and to Catholic Orphanages, etc. The money can go to help the Church, and then the Church can help the poor and the orphans, etc.

Santiago Calatrava can help California to rebuild, and the best architects from around the world can be brought in to help rebuild.

Salute,

Tony V.

These fires were like the fires in Australia, *sky-high* firestorms fanned by hot winds...unstoppable.
How did they start?  is a question that needs answering.
Whole districts just destroyed, everything wiped out.
..it's horrible.
180,000 residents under evacuation orders,. Some didn't evacuate, and perished.
Some people have been allowed to return to their homes.
But in most cases there's no home to return to, just rubble and two melted deck chairs in one case.

People are now talking;

"Diversity prioritised over fighting fires". LAFD was mentioned.
Something about only 5% of women fighting fires.

Sky News:

"LA fires cause hysteria in Australia"

#####

The climate change green dreamers in Aust are going out of their minds
....screaming "climate change fires"...and demanding that more be done now to transition to renewables.

An expert then explained that the LA fires were caused by arson and the great damage was caused by bad water management, and the cessation of wise land/fires fuel (vegetation) management.

China is opening new coal mines as fast as it can go...expert said.

Who is talking?

Tell me, since everyone, male, female, white, black, Asian, whatever, has to take and pass the same tests, including the physical requirements, why would diversity result in a less effective fire fighting force? Why are you not just swapping out the least qualified white male for the most qualified African American or female,.which should make the force stronger. Unless you believe that the talents that make up good firefighters are distributed disproportionately to white males.

Since the cause of the fires is still under investigation, consider the possibility that the "expert" is full of wombat poop and that he is just pedaling the line Sky "News' wants you to swallow. What we do know is that a wild swing in weather patterns, from a heavy rain winter last year which caused vegetation to grow, followed by roughly 6 months without significant rain which dried that vegetation out and turned it into tinder, and the seasonal Santa Ana winds gusting up to 100 mph created a disastrous situation, for the start of the fire, to ensure its spread, and to hamper fire fighting efforts.

It does not. It is just an opinion piece from a Murdoch rag that starts out taking Bass to task for being on a trip when the fires started, which presupposes a required level of precognition of an elected official that i doubt anyone possesses,  and then disappears behind a firewall. I will ask again: unless you believe ability and skill is centralized more heavily in white males than other groups, why would diversity result in a less skilled, less efficient work force?

Yes. A vagina is in charge, one whose bearer shares with others with vaginas. That is what is being questioned.

At least one man has been arrested for arson here in California, these fires are all arson I bet.

On the issue of power lines, we need to put all of the power lines underground.

And yes Bambu, diversification can be hard, and there are crazy people in leadership positions who are bringing our enemies to live with us, they are bringing people from Palestine and Yemen to live in Anaheim and they are giving them free training and business loans in "Little Arabia." We have homeless Americans and homeless Veterans while these stupid fuckers are bringing in people from Palestine and Yemen.

What is even worse, is that Japanese Corporations and other foreign corporations own our Real Estate and our Housing, and they are raising the price of rent because of the fires.

Battle Mountain, Nevada, is nice, and land is only $1,000 per acre and it is easy to get a job at a casino. Battle Mountain needs to invest in their hospital, etc, and in their pharmacy, etc, they need doctors, psychiatrists, and dentists, but Battle Mountain is a nice place to go if people need to escape from California. It would be better to own a travel trailer and to ride a bicycle to work as a cook at the casino instead of being a slave for the Japanese or being homeless here.

Cocoa Beach, Florida, is also nice, and land is way cheaper than in California, and Orlando has Universal where they can make movies and television shows.

Rome, Italy, is also nice, and they have Cinecitta which is the largest movie studio in Europe. The price of rent in Rome is the same as Los Angeles.

I am blessed to live in Anaheim, we need to have sheep, cattle, and goats, everywhere eating the vegetation, and we need to invest in water dropping air craft, etc. We also need to make sure we have water to fight fires, and we can put in sprinkler systems.

Meanwhile, right now I hope we can bring a film and television office to Anaheim City Hall, with help from Chapman film school which is only 10 miles away from City Hall, to bring film and television jobs to Anaheim.

Also, we need to bring in our Christian allies such as the Italians and the French, and the Mexicans are all Roman Catholic and they are on our team, and the Greeks are welcome to come help in California, etc. The people from the Philippines are Christians and they have been helping in California for a long time. And the Colombians are sending coffee and chocolate to New Orleans, etc, and they are good Roman Catholics. Santiago Calatrava is from Spain. Pope Francis is also a good Pope. And the Knights of Columbus are helping here in California, and they are selling Insurance to people now, etc, people can buy housing insurance from the Knights of Columbus now, etc.

These fires are very upsetting, but we will rebuild, and the Knights of Columbus can help as we rebuild, and Santiago Calatrava can help us to rebuild, etc. And we can put the refugees and homeless people all to work rebuilding and landscaping, etc.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

Employing people purely to meet quotas, is that called 'affirmative action'?   people with lower qualifications/ability/marks in exams etc employed....could indeed result in a less skilled, less efficient work force.

Right, he deliberately misreads a typical mission statement because he is against diversity and having a lesbian woman instead of a man running LAFD. I understood that, but I suspect you did not.
