This is a hilarious article, my neighborhood is still under one day a week (Wed) watering rationing rules, just started 1 year ago, previously was on 2 a week since after COVID. Record rains for 2 years in a row, and rationing is worse. Go figure.

I spend $240 a month on my water bill. Only $20 of which is actually water.

State is in disrepair, but being paid as a State employee, Or a PUC is a great job.

Here some facts.

Prior to 1800, California lost an average of about 4.5 million acres to fires every year.

As scientific land management and fire suppression. measures were introduced, that dropped to around 250,000 acres a year by the end of the 20th century.

But in 2020 California lost 4.3 million acres to wildfires in a single year. Between 2019 and 2023 the average was about 1.5 million acres a year.

Going as planned I'd say.

Here's another strange thing ..

In 2019 Democrat assembly HALTED a fire safety project in Pacific Palisades to replace wooden electric poles with steel ones, and the installation of wind and fire-resistant power lines.

Why?

Because an "amateur botanist" complained that utility workers were trampling too many Braunton's Milkvetch, a perennial herb in the pea family.

Yet, the plants the botanist was concerned about were destroyed by the recent wildfires anyway.

Wild...

Crews for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power recently bulldozed hundreds of federally endangered plants in Topanga State Park, and both state and city authorities have launched investigations into DWP's actions, part of a wildfire prevention project aimed at replacing 200 aging wooden power poles with steel ones.
