As a new wave of fire and high winds threaten Los Angeles, the media is reporting that California's elected leaders are not to blame and that right-wing influencers and Donald Trump are spreading misinformation and politicizing a tragedy. Racial and gender quotas through DEI aren't to blame. No, Mayor Karen Bass didn't cut the Fire Department's budget. No, Gavin Newsom didn't cut CalFire's wildfire prevention budget. And no, there wasn't any way to prevent these fires or the fire hydrant water from running out. Climate change made the disaster inevitable due to "whiplashing" rain levels. They're all lies
On topic, IDK about corruption, but $750K for a position in the government seems a bit much. How difficult could this position be over say governor?
But this I thought was fascinating, the DWP was a big salary department.
