You need to play this better.. you know that the slighest insinuation that Nazis/Hitler were the good guys and justified in their actions is going to provoke outrage. You can play stupid and thats fine. But you know that I speak the truth.

regardless if he is or not.. he is posting as a means of getting a predictably outraged response. Just really attention seeking behavior at its root.

You know that you are being trolled? If not... its pretty obvious.

The case against Leonard Peltier was never all that solid. Lots of holes in the narrative.. reasonable doubt

As of yet, there is nothing concrete to point to. Two things happening at the same time does not mean that one caused the other.

A bit melodramatic this thread is. When a Democrat wins in 2028. the same conservatives on here will say the same thing.. its the end of democracy and other Chicken little hyperbole.

They are a private company and free to do so.

So then lets have you provide QUANTITATIVE metrics concerning JOB PERFORMANCE. The assumption is that these DEI hires (which you have no direct evidence of) performed worse than their previous counterparts. That is my point... take it or leave it. Can you provide such information or not? Seems pretty simple.

Depending on one's source, they will say that there are four fire battalions in LA and supposedly all are ran by lesbians. That is easily debunked. There are 22 in Los Angeles county.

Well.. and with this, I conclude that you have no idea what I am talking about. I am talking about quantifiable job performance. Feel free to carry on. Someone has to care that you breathe.

where did you get the 1.7 million number? We are not even close to talking about the same thing... how about you drop it? Or do you need to beat the dead horse.

Lets stop here... we are not talking about the same thing. I do not like playing dumb games either and can realize that we are not even close to being on the same page.

I need more than theory. Can you provide actual dollars spent and more importantly... quantitative job performance metrics that show unequivocally that the DEI hires did not perform up to par. Now do not play stupid and say that the fire battalion chiefs have control over the available water supply.

Your zealousness takes you off the rails. First, LA is an urban environment so in this case you are talking apples to oranges. You have a point when it comes to the area in the central and northern parts of the state that are not urban. As for water diversion.. that is irrelevant. Their infrastructure was not ready. The reservoirs in their watersheds were doing fine as compared to years past. Had they been ready.. they could have had the necessary 12 to 13 million gallons ready. Knowing their names is not evidence of job performance. I know that you this Now show me some metrics of those that came before them and metrics of the actual hires. If I want to tell you about a pro athlete.. I use metrics such as points scored, TD Scored, goals scored.. can you do this?

This is like saying that you have evidence of someone stealing XYZ because they like XYZ. Evidence would be quantitative... do you know what that means? There would be established metrics that rate them. Metrics based on actual data such as response time. You would compare the predecessors to the current staff based on quantitative metrics.

So you have no evidence... understood. All you have is theory and hypothetical. Come back when you have something quantitative.

Ok, good that you admit that you can't prove it directly. You are guessing and nothing more. As of 2012.. the available supply was only 1.8 million gallons. Neither would have been sufficient for this event.

Game... the game that I am playing is having you prove your claims. You have no quantifiable evidence that the DEI hiring policies directly and measurably impacted their attempts to contain the fire. Quit going off into the weeds because you have no evidence.

Can you prove that the only reason that she was hired was her gender and race? Spare me the opinions.. lets see some actual evidence. 3 million gallons actually exceeds what they had ready in the past... interesting.

That is not quantifiable evidence.

Most folks look for affirmation.. ie cite sources that agree with them.

Whether or not, climate change is human caused or not.... is irrelevant. When white settlers came to what we now call LA... guess what? It was a desert. The central Valley was even more arid. And now you put millions upon millions there.. you deplete the surface water as a result. So going to be dry and therefore a tinder box.

Janisse Quiñones, the newly appointed chief executive officer and chief engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. This is who makes the call on the available water supply for hydrants. As for diverting water.. you should look at a map. The smelt is in the San Joaquin (Stockton, Sacramento, Fairfield).. that's a long ways from LA. Now as for the state's forest management, that is a problem. That was not relevant here because it was a very urban setting. The forest management policies are bad but only because they did not prioritize it. Lack of funding sent that way. They have slowly started to change their ways though. You see crews in Plumas, Lassen, and Modoc County often clearing underbrush and having controlled burns.
