As far as L.A.’s water goes, (I can’t stand Newsome) but, to give him some credit, he fought hard to get a desalinization plant built in Huntington Beach - which was rejected by the ‘Coastal Commission’ (some Lib B.S. thing made up of a bunch of super Left old biddies) because of ‘possible risks to marine life’

That was like 3 years ago. Would've probably been built and up and running by now…..
Huntington Beach is 30 miles or so down the coast though. It wouldn't be of much help here.

The big fiasco was that some reservoirs were done away with to save some smelt fish.
Add in the fact that 1000 firefighters were fired because they wouldn't take the Covid jab.
Then there's the part about LA mayor Karen Bass reducing the firefighting fund my millions of dollars.

Will the governor resign?

More likely they use any political momentum to trigger yet another recall election.

It's easier for Republicans to win the governor's office with a recall election, making it a big California GOP strategy.

That's how Arnie won the governor race, it was a recall election.

Better to trigger recall than for him to resign.

He'll never resign.

Ego is way too big.

Pure scumbag who should be jailed.

Lots of vids of pets roaming around the fires and aftermath

Hopefully those ppl who knowingly left them behind had multiple properties burn down instead of just one

I know we want to judge, but I maintain neither you nor I, and I'm a lot closer to the action than you, can possibly comprehend just what has happened this week and just what everyone has gone through.

Just as you sound like they left pets behind out of cruelty, it's just as equal that those pet owners loved their pets and what we are seeing is just how bad it got that some of pets are now roaming.

I can remember a fireman last summer telling me about a fire he was fighting in the foothills. Some pets panicked and ran away in the midst of the fire. People had to evacuate NOW, and couldn't even find their pets.

I have to think for every pet out there you see, there are a number of owners that did everything they could to save their pets, but some could do nothing.

It's sad, but unfair to pass judgement at this stage.

It's just not right. You think you feel emotions for the pets and the owners, how do you think some of those pet owners feel when they left without their family member?

Anger isn't needed here, and neither is sympathy, although some sympathy is warranted.

It's empathy you need here, and a lack of it could indicate antisocial behavior.

Wags, are you on the spectrum?

That’s why I stress the word “knowingly”

Sorry but when it comes to innocent animals & people who intentionally or foolishly harm them, i shown no mercy

I do understand that many were left behind with no choice, but surely that’s not the case with all

Yeah, I considered that, but you are wrong.

Even if they cried their heart out, they knowingly left without their pet.

In my example, when the pet ran away, those people knowingly left their pets. Thankfully, for that story, the firefighters found the animals and all was well.

Point is, choose your words carefully.

Maybe just quit approaching this thing with a slant of antagonizing or blaming.

Instead, show some empathy or are you not capable of doing that?
