Just when you think California’s stupidity, piss-poor management, and unicorn politics can’t possibly get any more absurd, a story like this drops—and your eyes practically roll out of your head.
As Los Angeles burns to the ground, the insurance industry crumbles, and water evaporates faster than you can say “H2O,” what’s the top priority in the land of fruits and nuts? Not the people losing their homes, of course—it’s a random herb called Braunton’s Milkvetch, a wild pea plant. Yes, you read that right. This plant is apparently so precious that an entire fire safety program was scrapped and reworked just to protect it from being crushed.
let’s check in on those herby peas, shall we?
Bad Hombre:
This is just how bad Democrat mismanagement is in California.
In 2019 Democrats HALTED a fire safety project in Pacific Palisades to replace wooden electric poles with steel ones, and the installation of wind and fire-resistant power lines.
Why? Because an “amateur botanist” complained that utility workers were trampling too many Braunton’s Milkvetch, a perennial herb in the pea family.
The plants the botanist was concerned about were destroyed by the recent wildfires anyway.
So yes, despite what the propagandists tell you, the extent of the damage was avoidable.

Can you smoke it a pipe? 😜
At this point would it be reasonable to say that voting based on first world problems ultimately creates third world conditions?

Has to be why Bass took herself to Ghana;
she needed “Third World” tips to transform
LA.......after she helped burn it down.
California’s 2019 fire safety program was halted to save a weed......
Democrats, so it must be locoweed.
“Can you smoke it a pipe?”
It’s a weed, but not Weed.
This is typical of treehugger behavior in CaCaLand. The weed is not even endangered. It just has protected status in that park — so, don’t touch.
Same crappola as the snail darter. Pack of lies for something that did not even exist except in the fevered minds of treehuggers and other commie trash.
Don’t they stop to think that uncontained wildfires wouldn’t cause more damage to their precious plant than proper management would?
If they want to save endangered species, do it in a state or national forest and have a planting initiative.
There are ways to do it that don’t require the sacrifice of human lives and the wanton destruction of the environment with the pollution that the wildfires cause.
THE PRIOR WORD SETTLERS USED WAS ‘LOCOWEED’
People need to start suing these radical environmental organizations for the damages their insane policies are causing
