When fire fighters at the scene of the catastrophic Pacific Palisades fire got the wrenches out to open the fire hydrants...they were dry. And that, friends, is the avatar for all that is wrong with the incompetent leadership of Los Angeles and the state of California: a dry fire hydrant.
I could have sworn that water was somewhere close to the top on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Yep, there it is, number one. Jesus described himself as "living water." It seems like water's kind of important to sustain life and put out fires.
Where's the water, Gavin Newsom?
We thought it was terrible when Newsom and the previous Democrat tenant of the governor's mansion, Jerry Brown, forsook food and water for people to send millions of acre feet per day of fresh water into the salty ocean, during droughts and rainy days alike, to save a bait fish.

Per NY Times regarding LA County “The bulk of the roughly $1 billion collected from Los Angeles County taxpayers over the past four years to store more water has gone largely unspent.“ $1 billion taken, they dump water then we get placed on water restrictions.

Has this issue improved ?
Because another week of strong Santa ana winds every other day
California had a chance to remove Newsome but they decided that mismanagement and incompetence were preferable to accountability.
It has only “improved” because there are tens of thousands fewer acres left to incinerate. Great leadership under the DIMs/LIBs of california.
A question arises: Should LA still host the 2028 Olympics?
Yes, there will be new events.
The 100 yard dash while on fire.
The 200kg water carry.
The 100kg broad jump over the flames..................

we tried
but were defeated by things like invisible ink over spray that made 50% of Shasta's county ballots unreadable by the optical scanner tabulator machines
and were “cured” ( of repub votes ?)
by the usual suspects behind locked doors
so.... our " chance" was akin to a snowball's chance in hell.
It appears that California’s wealthy liberal elites have an ironclad grip on power in the state. They fund/work to elect people who will expand that power. Its all about control.
Many of the wealthy people who lost homes in the conflagration will before long be writing checks for campaign donations to liberal office holders. I don’t see how anything changes in California regardless of how bad things get.
There will be plenty of work for Mexican construction workers.
When a house burns the solder in the sweated joints and CPVC pipe will melt.
Water will pour out.
If enough houses burn, water pressure will be lost.
If threaded connections were made to a fire temperature shut-off valve, the water line for a house would stop losing water if the house burns down.
He couldn’t tell you where the water is if his BS life depended on it
Figures! The ONE thing that is free in the whole fire fighting equation, and no one knows where it is!
Billionaire Philanthropists Stewart And Lynda Resnick Give $750 Million To Climate Change Research Grant For Caltech…

AND...Stewart and Lynda Resnick, billionaire agribusiness tycoons and major promoters of the Delta Tunnel and increased water pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, have donated a total of $366,800 to Governor Gavin Newsom since 2018, including $250,000 to the campaign to fight the Governor’s recall. And you don’t want to know all the other donations they’ve made and to whom…
In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply. Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.

Even that was FAKE.
