  1. Climate change is undefeated. It’s going to kill us all unless we legislate the takeover and dismantling of the corporations who have caused it, including and especially their executives and shareholders.

    Climate clawbacks that go through the generations of wealth obtained through the destruction of our planet. That takeover the assets of the current companies and use that wealth to create societies that aren’t death cults because of something called “the economy.”

  2. The fire hydrants are running out of water because there’s too much demand. 

    It’s January. 

    Fire season used to be the summer, plus half the spring and half the fall.  It’s becoming all year long. 

    This is **REALLY** bad. 

  3. it’s a crime against insurance companies. how dare people now want to file claims!

  4. E/acc, Libertarian, and Grey Tribe Twitter has come out in force to complain about climate change but they’re pinning it on local, state, and Federal government officials and their alleged lack of preparedness.

    80 to 100 MPH winds during a red flag warning is going to be a bad time in any situation, especially as the number of acres and structures involved increases. You simply don’t have the manpower, apparatus, and water pressure to keep flames at bay and hold the line.

    Embers will literally jump/fly across valleys as we’ve seen. I wouldn’t want to battle those elements on the fire ground but sometimes there’s no other option. Incredible that only five people have died—I hope it doesn’t increase.

    Not a peep from the Twitterati after every school shooting though; they’d rather have private security and private firefighters.

    That can only work for so long though…

    (And nothing is stopping them from becoming auxiliary firefighters or simply supporting that community when there isn’t a catastrophe.)
