Yuck.
Should have been:
Makes one wonder if proposed bans on prescribed fire (on the grounds of "clean air") are intended to produce sufficient fuels to burn out the homeowners.
Mea crappola.
This is not a merely whimsical observation. Backyard burning and prescribed fire are proposed to be banned upon precisely such grounds in Sierra Nevada counties that are already in attainment for air quality.
This terrible observation has been the back of my mind since the Los Alamos fires two + years ago.
Recently a freeper, (I can't remember whom), posted about the fires in Colorado and Arizona that the bans of backyard, prescribed burns, and of course your favorites the no road, no harvest/thinning of trees including dead trees, and no brush removal was pre planned by the elite enviral fascists.
So, when these fires started and raged out of control with no bull dozer containment, just limited man power and air drops, that home owners around these areas often got/get burned out. Just another form of rural cleansing by the elite Eco Terrorists who don't want humans outside of the Goron voting inner cities.
The negative impact on property value of the surviving homes and with those who lost homes, will last for years as a slow continual rural cleansing after the fires. When, the rains come this fall/winter/spring, those areas on hill sides will become very muddy and miserable to live in. Some homes could slide down in mud slides.
Eventually, most insurance companies may not write normal homeowners policies for those who live around a forest or in so called wild lands. Any wild fire insurance will be as expensive or more expensive than our earthquake insurance in Kali. That will be another rural cleansing force long after these fires are just bad memories.
But the greens say Sequoia forests needs to be toasted on occasion, it opens up the seed pods you see. There’s just no other way to get the seeds that will save us. We’ll just have to accept the huge amounts of CO2 production since the goddess Gaia produces it.
Why do sane men tolerate these fundamentalist fruits and nuts?
