"or at a minimum ultraregulate it"

It's a fact if someone writes it on twitter.

I live in LA area. It hasn't rained yet this year, and 70 deg weather with 100 mpg winds not a good combination.

I dont live near any large native vegetation habitats so no personal risk. Although insurance premiums are going to be going up up up. All the major insurance carriers were actually pulling out of California because there was some state laws which limited how much they could raise prices. Newsom just caved in and amended the laws so prices can go up, so the pain is coming.

And a big portion of that is because of increased costs to rebuild

I dont know if it makes it worse for insurance companies (I cant imagine how it doesn't) but Palisades and now Malibu are very expensive areas to live, and hundreds if not thousands of multimillion dollar houses have burned down.

So who does playbig think started these fires, Billy Joel?

fact checkers are fact checking

That's not what causes Santa Anas

Homeless people start a lot of the fires.

Some of them are crazy and start them on purpose. But more often it is from fires they start for cooking and warmth that get away. There are large homeless camps in brush areas around LA that are a giant safety hazard in conditions like this.

Must admit there is some strategic genius (as long as gullible people, and paid bad actors, keep up with it) on the left with the strategy of blaiming specifical policy failures of their own administration on "climate change".

They at the same time (as long as they manage to keep enough gullible people convinced of that, through their paid evil actors) dodge responsibility for their own horrendous mismanagement mistakes, AND increase the political push toward the horrifically destructive (but profitable for their political allies) "green policies".

Not sure how long they will be able to do this but as long as it works and they keep getting re-elected even when their mistakes literally caused an inferno, props to them for their strategic intelligence.

The lack of water which was sent by democrats to cultivate strawberries and almonds, some of the crops that need the most water among all possible cultivations, in one of the driest places in the west.

The truth is the habitat for much of California is designed to burn down and regrow. That is the natural ecosystem.

It would take a lot of human engineering and intelligent environmental manipulation to overcome this. And obviously this hasn't happened, but I dont think it would under Republicans either.

California was actually a purple state until recently before demographic changes turned it blue, and I dont remember Republicans ever making a big deal about aggressive habitat management when they had turns in power.

The reservoirs are nearing capacity from the last couple of years of snow. It's been dry in southern California but northern California has seen tons of rain and snow. I think strawberries are grown more in the central coast area (Santa Maria and surrounding areas) where it's plenty moist from the ocean.

Only a matter of time before big bear/arrowhead is wiped out. Basically a forest of dried timber. Anyone still owning property there seems a bit crazy imo.

There is huge strawberry production in Oxnard (60 miles north of LA) which takes it's water from various sources, mainly the calleguas municipal water system, which is centered in thousands oaks, which is close to where the palisads fires are happening

Does The Colonel think that if there was a little bit more water available the fires could be put out?

Unfortunately now Trump is blaming democrats for the disaster (which to be clear, with water available i hope we all agree would have been incredibly less disastrous), so it will become impossible for people with TDS to admit there was any mistake on their part

If there was a lot more water available in local aquifers that would make the surface wetter so that it goes on fire slower and the disaster is easier to contain among other things by using water to do that yes.

It's too windy for planes, and the water would be blown away from it's target even if the planes or helicopters could fly. Maybe he meant no planes in their fleet?

I don't think they refused the water declaration because of a tiny fish, that was just their excuse. How can Newscum sacrifice a human necessity like water over a tiny fish?

However, even with water available it wouldn't be that much of a help with winds gusting to over 60 to 80 MPH.

Yes, Los Angeles was a bayou before people moved there and shipped all the water out.

Pretty sure it's like Dunyain said. The land is meant to constantly burn and regrow. When you stop that cycle for 100 years or so it kind of messes things up. I don't think any amount of water 100ft below the ground is going to stop that, particularly in the mountains.

I thought all the water in California goes to growing almonds 😀

Meanwhile... in my place or origin

But here's the thing- you simply assert things with nothing credible to back them up and wholly in line with your personal beliefs. Ergo it wasn't a suicide because MSM is propaganda. Your reasoning is also severely flawed. Fake news or inaccurate reporting doesn't mean all MSM is lies and propaganda. That's like saying everyone in prison is innocent due to wrongful convictions occurring.

I'm inclined to go with the most likely plausible option- troubled vet, possibly suffering from PTSD and having relationship issues, committed suicide.
Otherwise again, multiple LE agencies are conspiring with the MSM and Military and government to cover this up for some reason. And that's less likely and plausible. Not sure why you think the likes of conspiracy X and conspiracy themed podcasts are somehow better, more viable sources of information.
Now, if any actual credible evidence of the above surfaces, I'll be all ears. But unless that happens, again I'm inclined to go with the simpler, more likely scenario.
