Out of control government is out of control.
Looks like a dozen other flowers. These awful rules need to be rolled back. Who would know that something in their yard was endangered?
Ridiculous...Time to get rid of these ridiculous “claims”.
“Out of control government is out of control.”
*************
The bigger government gets the smaller the people become.
you get what you vote for.
Lovely.
Do they have to give up all of their LA Dodgers souvenirs and World Series rings too? How about all their Beach Boy vinyls?
Fuel to the fire.
Yeah, I know. /s
Maybe they didn’t get the memo.
Given what is newly being exposed on cali government:
No surprise here.
> These awful rules need to be rolled back. <
Yep. There’s no balance with these laws. The flower, weed, or snail trumps all. Perhaps some sort of “usefulness test” should be applied. We need the soybean and the cow. Roses are nice. But do we really need every obscure type of snail?
Species go extinct all the time on their own. It’s part of the cycle of nature. Should we save every species, everywhere just because?
Weird. Your image wouldn’t load for me until after I posted mine. Now it loads fine.
“Who would know that something in their yard was endangered?”
Yea, it was not the flower itself, only the habitat? That would mean no one in that area could grow or build anything on their own property.
Who called the government on these people?
This idiocy is WHAT CAUSED THE FIRES!!!
Publish the name of anyone who put in place and enforced these rules .
They are responsible for the fires!
The reason some woodpeckers and owls are endangered is largely due to the government protecting them at the expense of landowners. See one, Shoot one. That is what happens to “protected” species. I don’t mean to sound cold, I love animals, but the government will take your land if they find one of those #%>£ on it. They will, at minimum fine you if you do anything about it. Best that one not be found on your land.
“You get what you vote for.”
That’s a tired statement, but it’s also time tested as being the truth. Collectively and over a period of a few decades all Kalifornians have voted for some form of leftist garbage, if not all of it.
As a result they’ve wound up with a very tyrannical government. They believe the propaganda put out by the state and the MSM and continue to feel good about destroying their own future and keep voting for it.
It’s a vicious circle like a corkscrew winding itself deeper and deeper, only into communism. The LA fires will change few minds. Newscum acting like an incompetent cokehead is merely a badge of honor for many and he will never be thrown out.
It’s a failed state.
With those long, creeping stems, it has all the characteristics of crab grass.
They are CAltards... they probably called the government agency to turn themselves in...
You own property, but do you have any rights to utilize it?
