CA FIRES

[skinz2winz]

This is disappointing imo. The NFL should have donated 5x this amount. I know its not their responsibility however, it will take Billions to rebuild. Given the current climate in CA with insurance issues, no friggin water etc, these people had zero chance to avoid the destruction. Shame on Goodell for donating pennies on the dollar towards this relief effort. Goodells current salary is worth $200M. Perhaps each owner will fork up $2M towards the relief effort raising the total from the NFL to $69M.

It will not let me paste the link. See Bleacher Report.

I’m not sure NFL and Goodall should donate to California. The people of California Se these elected officials who put illegal immigrants and worthless endangered species above heir citizens. This was not a natural disaster like a hurricane that cannot be prevented or tempered. We have this discussion annually about California because wild fires occur every year in California. All they have to do is follow the science of forestry (yes it is a real science) and they would know taking care of the underbrush would make containing these fires much easier.

The people who should be donating is the multi millionaires and billionaires that exploit the rest of the citizenry in California and promote liberal talking points.

I agree but their votes are swayed by the rich paying for their votes. That is why I said the millionaires and billionaires should donate.

Sounds like more and more support is coming in for those displaced. God bless to all those affected and needing support.

Nobody “votes for this.”

Who would vote for the santa ynez reservior being closed for maintenance at a time when the water from there would be extremely helpful for fighting the palisades fire?

Similarly, nobody voted for saving an endangered fish instead of diverting water south.

Its two different issues, so naturally that’s one issue too many for right wing news sources to comment on, and thus their soundbytes get misconstrued by others, like drumpfy.

The US president-elect has criticised a top California Democrat for challenges fighting the blazes in Los Angeles.

“
While efforts to save Delta smelt, along with salmon and steelhead trout, do reduce the amount of water that is moved from northern California by the state at certain times, it has no bearing on the current availability of water for fire-fighting."
Although southern California is currently experiencing a drought, data shows its reservoirs are almost all currently above the historic average for this time of the year. None are at significantly low levels.
However, one large reservoir in Pacific Palisades, the Santa Ynez Reservoir, was closed for maintenance and empty when the fire broke out.”

It absolutely does . You voted for people who cut the fire budget and didn’t test the hydrants . They failed to use even the basics of forestry management. They voted for people who instituted stupid policy

The voters elect the officials. The officials make the policies.

California is known not to follow the forestry concept of getting rid of underbrush. Their reasoning is for endangered species, such as the migrating patterns of some form of mouse.

California is known for neglecting its own citizenry for the special interests of certain groups in environment, immigration, and sexuality.
