Disco Inferno
The city of plastics. With parts of LA, where I was born, blazing up in flames, I found out an interesting fact about how they cut $17 millions from the fire department and there are fire hydrants without water. How f**king crazy is that? As much as you don't want to be violent, but some people need to get smacked in their heads. This is not about blame games. This is strictly about having common sense. Maybe it is because people in LA are too busy dancing on Hollywood nights? How difficult is it for people to put the right people in right positions and actually follow through with it? Now they are going to see and pay the price of what happens when self serving incompetence meets ultimate vanity and greed.
So basically, these dummies dispatched LA firefighters on a borderline suicide mission. I have dealt with fires as an USN veteran, so I have a good understanding of what those LA firefighters were going through and dealing with. I was extremely upset while I was watching and listening to the news. How the f**k are they going to fight the fire? AFFF??? Well, I hope our military is not like LA. Imagine being shipped out to a war with a pencil and a laptop while enemies are shooting with bullets.
They have all kinds of money to spend on shit like AI and etc, and can't predict or put out fires? Did they use AI to figure out how to squeeze the fire department budget? I wonder. It's tough to just blame LA governor & mayor since they were just simply copying and following from the same old playback of countless organizations and corporations. That same playbook of when shit goes wrong, we will evaluate to see what went wrong and what we can do better in the future bullshit etc. That shit ain't going to fly, just look at what happened to Sears and many others.
For the city official to say the system wasn't designed for wild fires makes no sense. When there is a fire in any urban area whether it's NYC or LA, there is always a chance of other buildings catching fire. In this case, they weren't able to quickly put out and contain fires due to many factors and more than 10,000 structures caught fire. That has nothing to do with wild fires. Even if poor civil engineering played a role, I'm not too sure if there were enough qualified and trained personnels to handle this.
If there was an invasion from another country during this blazing fire in LA, I'm willing to put my money up that LA governor along all of his buddies are going to be the first ones to sell this country out and jump to the other side without any hesitation. My jaw dropped when the fire chief of LA said that nobody told her that the water reservoir would be under construction for maintenance with no water in it. Then here is another issue, people of LA are complaining and angry at the governor, the mayor and etc. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PUT THOSE PEOPLE IN POSITIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE. PLAY STUPID GAMES, WIN STUPID PRIZES!
Whether this was caused by wildfires or arsonists or homeless or illegal migrants or terrorists, there is no denying that LA was not properly equipped and prepared to deal and handle this type of disaster. This is another prime example of when humans are looked as numbers and money + social status are valued more than American citizens' lives. If you are someone who lives in LA, you need to ask yourself. Do your governor and mayor look and talk like they give a F about you and your family? So why did you put them in those positions and pay them? If an active duty veteran blowing himself up in a cybertruck didn't help, maybe this fire disaster in LA might finally wake Americans up. I don't live in LA and I'm not directly affected by the fire in LA. However, this LA governor scum angers me every time he opens his mouth and this dumb mf just has no idea how he f**ked over not just LA but the whole nation. This mf needs to shut the f**k up and fight fires instead of talking to reporters and etc.
