“Hibbs went on to expound on what he sees as the failures of the Democratic leadership of California as it relates to the wildfires. He blamed the government of California, which he called the ‘wealthiest state,’ for causing California to be the most expensive of all 50 states.” - C.Leaders

Being in LA last week, I saw much of the disaster firsthand either on the ground or in the air. It is fashionable to blame Newsom and the Democrats. The reality is that 1) real people are really hurting in a very difficult situation, and 2) California's wildfire problem has been decades and decades in the making. It was a problem decades ago and it continues to be a problem today.

California's wildfire problem has been decades and decades in the making. It was a problem decades ago and it continues to be a problem today.

I would hope we can all agree with that. Although we must not forget to show compassion on those who have lost so much and many who will likely lose more in the coming weeks, it is not unreasonable to suggest that proactive measures should be taken going forward. Many of those proactive measures should have been implemented decades ago. When concerns about fish, trees, and bushes interfere with protecting life and that much property, people tend to get a bit frustrated- especially when clearing underbrush and trees could potentially help the ecosystem. Clearing underbrush is necessary both in the undeveloped areas and in residential neighborhoods.

Edit: I just heard that they cannot use salt water from the ocean to fight the fires because the runoff from salt water could hurt the ecosystem. Do they really expect me to believe that salt water will be more damaging to the ecosystem than all the chemicals left behind from those burnt out residential areas?
