Consequences
Elections have consequences as former President Obozo once remarked. Those consequences are being revealed in Kommifornia as I write this. The people of that once beautiful state elected individuals of dubious mental capacity who ran on policies of even more dubious merit.
In a place that was called “Land that burns” by the original indigenous peoples, one might consider that wildfires are an issue. When documentation from modern times also corroborated this condition, an intelligent person might consider preparing for such events.
But, alas, no.
The city reduced the firefighter’s budget. The state failed to build reservoirs to hold precious water. Or to even consider building desalination plants to treat sea water for municipal purposes. (Wrightsville Beach, NC had a pilot plant for decades that provided delicious fresh water from a desalination plant. And at a cost competitive with treating river water.)
The newly appointed lesbian Fire Chief prioritized DEI qualifications for fire fighters with the rationale that “people want responders that look like them.” Not really. If I have a fire or any other emergency I want a team that looks like an organization of NFL linebackers, not an old white guy. She admitted that she couldn’t meet the criteria of being able to drag an incapacitated victim from a burning house and added “he shouldn’t have been there in the first place.” Very few emergencies come with warnings or schedules. If a 5’4” female wearing turnout gear can haul my injured self out of a house, fine. Otherwise, send in the linebacker.
The greater tragedy is that DEI, CRT and other divisive strategies are not simple nonsense. They are nonsensical, yes, but they are strategies developed decades ago and utilized to inculcate Marxism into our society and government. This isn’t the original Marx and Lenin version. This has mutated into a strategy tailored for modern times.
The greater question is whether the LA Mayor, Fire Chief, governor and attendant responsible members of local and state government are simple “usual idiots” of the marxist forces trying to take down our country, or are they deliberately aware of the actions they are taking to destroy the society, one state at a time.
Actions of morons and idiots are still culpable for negligent homicide.
Deliberate actions of marxist instigators are culpable for murder and treason.
Intense, thorough, penetrating investigations are necessary to discern which is the cause. Prison time is demanded for the first. The penalty for treason is a bit harsher.
