If the fires in LA are upsetting, please please please be as upset about the corporations who continue to lobby for their financial interests over your health and safety

A brief, factual thread about the POLICY issues around the Palisades fire. I will stick to what I know personally. I am covering for @BreitbartNews and available to help @FoxNews, @MSNBC, or anyone needing information and ideas, including the incoming Trump administration. (1/9)

Also @ted , you’re right that fires like this happen, but they really shouldn’t to this scale this time of the year. California has seen its most destructive fires in the last 10 years - and we continue to strip the resources we need to mitigate them in order to placate corporate greed. 

Trump is going to do this to Greenland next. 

Are these fires worth it for “civilization” advancement (let’s be clear who civilization is to MAGA: it’s the rich. Preferably white rich people with trad wives.)

For sure. The LA FD shouldn’t have had their budget cut for LAPD. Maybe it’s because 30% of the firefighters risking their lives are current inmates who do not qualify for this same job once they’re out on parole, so there’s very little incentive to provide adequate support for them. Maybe we shouldn’t all have manicured lawns that strip our planet’s natural ability to fight fire (and use fire for regeneration). Maybe we don’t need to buy cheap clothing every other week that is made out of PLASTIC. 

Santa Ana winds are getting worse as the climate changes. We can’t be so naive to pigeonhole blame at the local level without following the destruction all the way to the front doors of the lobbyists who push the agenda of big oil. 

At the end of the day it’s all politics, which is exactly why I bring up MAGA. They know this - Elon knows this - and he’s happy to let it all burn for he and his crony friends to capitalize.

respectfully i don't see the necessity of bringing up corporate greed, Greenland or MAGA. irregardless of all your political points (even if they may be valid), there were practical things that could've been done at the local (LA) + state (CA) level in which are essentially one-party systems.
