Fires Incinerated the Facade of California Governing Competence

  Right… a less-than-perfect response to unprecedented wildfires is grounds for sweeping condemnation of California governance.

  Meanwhile, Texas - the darling of conservatives - can’t even manage to provide power during a cold snap. But that’s okay somehow.

  It’s not even so much that you miserable fuckwads have this desperate and entirely destructive need to politicize everything - the really loathsome thing is that you can’t even manage to be honest while you’re doing it.

  You’re everything that’s wrong with the world, and your grandchildren are going to piss on your grave.

    Why is criticizing California and LA’s gross mismanagement of the fires so triggering?

      It’s not in and of itself.

      Did you really not understand what I said?

  California is a 4 trillion dollar shithole. You compare it with any other 4 trillion dollar economy or country with GDP per capita, there is no excuse for it being a shithole. No bullet trains, a bunch of homeless people, filthy streets, failing electrical grid, can’t manage fire preventions, filled with petty criminals who are encouraged to steal while everybody watches them steal. This is what Woke politics does, because it is distraction from the real issues. This 4 trillion dollar economy needs federal government money because they can’t do anything except bring up petty issues while supposed oil refiners price gouging, which they aren’t. Installing a bureaucracy to oversee the said price gouging, instead of fixing real issues. What I found out about Woke people and their politics, is that it is just politics; bickering, and virtue signaling each other and everybody else, but in reality, they are fake ridiculous people.

    Your comment is too well articulated to assume you’re really naive enough to believe that’s a valid comparison. CA is a state in a massive country. What state handled homelessness better? What state has a bullet train?

    I agree that CA/LA is poorly managed at many levels, but your arguments are nonsense and it has nothing to do with CA being democratic.

      Almost every state has handled homeless better. California has always done a shit Job with the homeless population. Republic. Democrats. Doesn’t matter. They’ve never dealt with it well.
