What we have learned is that the Progressive policies of CRT, DEI, Green schemes, and Save the smelt plans have mandated the hiring of "fruits, nuts, and flakes" into positions of authority in police, fire, and water management agencies and have nearly brought California to its knees. They can't stop, hide, or disguise the Marxist rot that is destroying California. That's all in their plan. Their failure to face with competence the destruction of the city, and maybe other major centers of the US population that may face similar destruction, must be blamed on incompetence and design.
I suspect the people of California here are willing and able to pay high taxes and support things that do not make sense or that they agree with because their basic assumption is that the government is here to take care of them. The overwhelming extent of the LA fires and the apparent failure of basic management principles must cause many to wonder where all their tax dollars went. The high-speed train to nowhere? I would guess that Gavin Newsom, for a start, sticks a fork in him; he is done!
Finally, after all the money, equipment, and resources America has sent to foreign countries in their hours of distress by natural disasters over the years, I wonder how many foreign countries, seeing our distress, will send their fortunes in relief funds? Interestingly, Ukraine has offered to send firefighters. So there!
