To coin a term it’s woke lightning.
Paying off supporters at the expense of firefighters.
I think you are being a bit harsh. California is such a great place that screwing it up is a really hard job.
These folks have worked long and hard on this goal and they have succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations. <[p> Their compensation is commensurate with their proven ability to fully implement the Bass vision for LA and California.

It's going to be interesting to observe how this all plays out.
Typically, the wealthy elites are safely insulated in their gilded palaces from the suffering amongst the peasantry inflicted by the politicians and policies they support.
It's different this time. Their gilded palaces have been reduced to ash heaps.
So she’s not that stupid after all?
Still no sight of any ethics or morality. But “NOT STUPID”.

Over a hundred LAFD fire trucks are out of service because mechanics were fired
Twenty years of clean air initiatives that have been totally erased by this fire.
California authorities claim these trucks were given routine safety inspections as they had just been driven across hundreds of interstate miles, which kinda makes sense except that California is governed by retards, so who the hell really knows.
