    This is really sad. But we're also seeing what happens when you let corporations go unchecked and exacerbate climate change.

    An entire city burning to the ground should be a radicalizing point, but I'm afraid the media is going to do everything they can to divert from the climate question to things like firefighter funding, DEI etc.

      Not just a city, but the richest city in the richest state of the richest country

      Trump is making it about water rights and complaining that farmers didn’t get enough water because of ecological regulations.

          As always. Also the governor of California already promised to waive environmental review so they could 'rebuild faster'--seriously ironic liberal brainrot.

            Environmental reviews of the sort like exposure to hazards, such as, to take an example at random, wildfires? Is Los Angeles urban development about to end up on a 10-year cycle?

        Its crazy because every right winger is talking about LA running out of water which is obviously untrue. Most angelenos (except maybe those in actively byrning or burnt areas) still has clean water coming from their tap. And more importantly, we all see water drop after water drop on the TV coverage. The actual crews fighting the fire havent indicated any trouble getting water and there are dozens of reservoirs available.

          Yeah but if the almond trees had more water they wouldn’t be as dry (in January) and wouldn’t have caught flame. That’s trump’s argument lmao, it’s so stupid it’s unbelievable. The fire didn’t spread cross farms it spread across forest, suburban housing developments and rough hills

      Lib media at least acknowledges it's climate change but their solution is to vote blue harder next time. Meanwhile the chuds go over world events with a fine tooth comb to find a minority to scapegoat. Both are not helpful in any way.
