Fire trucks are overrated. What they really needed was more gay cafes and gay chorus groups.

Guarantee that if someone or some group offered to repair the trucks at no cost they would be turned down.

I wonder to what degree they are actually in a priority queue to BE repaired or if some are awaiting funding to be found to pay for them to get into the active repair process?

The $$ was diverted to “help the homeless” - homelessness has increased during Karen Bass’s reign:

“LA budgeted $837 million for the firefighters in fiscal year 2023-2024 — which was shockingly 65% of the $1.3 billion slated for the homeless, according to Fox News.

A city comptroller study found that nearly half of that funding went unused, according to the outlet.”

Karen Bass has already said she plans on running in 2026 for reelection. Wouldn’t surprise me if the very ones she burned out of their homes due to her incompetence fund raise for her.

I saw this on Fox this morning. “Can’t find mechanics”, I’ll finish it with my own words....because the city won’t pay above what the free market does.

Little late from the bull dyke, but she’s barking now about being underfunded. I like it when they turn on one another.

Bass and the city council totally own this, but will anything be done?

LA’s fire chief Kristin Crowley told Jake Tapper on CNN: ‘Over the last 3 years, we have been clear that the fire department needs help.’

She added that she has emphasized how ‘understaffed, under-resourced, and underfunded the LAFD is’, adding: ‘I rang the bell that these additional cuts could be very very devastating for our ability to provide public safety.’


She is playing the blame game, putting the problem on others. She had plenty to do with it.

This typical of all government run facilities so nothing new. Throwing money at it solves nothing if nothing changes.

You need leadership not overweight government managerial woke DEI lesbians in this particular case... or any leftist which in reality is the same thing in one form or another.

Anyone in a successful business would use the government as a model of what not to do.

I’m not buying the underfunded argument. Even with the cuts she made, she still had 819 million dollars at her disposal. I’m thinking there are too many people who are overpaid. Starting with the Fire Chiefs.

ive been pondering why dyed in the world libtard start being logical and real.

figured it out.

they are chameleons that change their color

so when their side gets a massive rejection

some of them change colors and side

so their breed can survive the purge

then they can start breeding ?( infiltrating) again

to survive and reinfect

so while i welcome their acts of penitence of constructive action

they are just lying in wait to screw everything up again

i still advocate giving them the ol left boot of fellowship out the never come back ever door.

fire her NOW.

put someone who can get the job done
cuz she hasnt .

Is it a hundred, or dozens or a dozen that I see in the picture? How many firetrucks does LA have? There is always going to be a percent in the shop.

Reminds one of the buses in the lot after Katrina. Of course, that was different...the Union drivers said "rescue" was not in their contract.

What's the real story about these trucks??

Awaiting repairs ‘cause lesbians don’t go in for being a mechanic. Mechanics were let go preferentially because of sexual preferences; and ‘cause they refused to take the vax.

This is what hate and racism get for you. And, yes, DEI is all about racial hatred.
