So, your current aliases have nothing to counter what I have said besides attempted insults.

I made a perfectly valid reply to your Doge thinking, did you reply in any intelligent response? nope.

But this is what I notice with your alisas, it asks questions get answers and instead of responding to the answers the alias asks more non-sequiter questions.

One can only assume this alias is paid to post, and troll us to get more posts. I don't mind, but I would imagine the person behind the alias have to feel pretty ------ about himself to do that.

You desperately want to-------- his alias.

Hey I resemble that remark!

In my view, can DOGE suggesttwaste to cut in the Federal budget?

Absolutely.

I doubt it. I am sure it can find that 30%, everyone can, but cutting it, no one can do that.

Do you even understand how your American system works. It takes Congress, and after that it will be lawyers by the time thats over, Trump will be gone and things will go back to normal after a Democrat takes office again.

Maybe, maybe not.

You're full of gas

I might be confusing him with some other ankle biter but isn't he a Nazi?

He's a Nazi? Are you saying he's a Trumper? Makes sense given the woman hating nature.

How does any of this post by your alias make any sense to the "huh?" I was responding to. Seem discontinuous, but I'll let you sort out how they are interrelated.

LOL- didn't realize you were such a heavy bleeder, Eb.

You seem like a winner, going the female denigration path, not surprised you haven't added anything educational to this thread.

I don't ever recall interacting with you, so not sure what you mean by "caught" me.

My guess is you're a sockpuppet and you're using the wrong account; as I am learning from Corky many of those here.

I have not denied that there was a budget cut. Get over that.

I never said you did, I was just stating when looked at that perspective.

was the characterization that a 2% budget cut of the Fire Department was a drastic cut.

Try cutting 2% of the the Federal Budget, and watch this place light up about the end of times.

Also it depends upon what the 2% was for.

Pilot Training - Check.
WildFire tactics - Check

Read her memo, seems relevant today.

I caught her using India Today as a source a few weeks back.

India Today is the most widely read english paper in India.

Whats wrong with that as a source? Its the NYT of India, why are Americans so nationalistic?

"Oneironut uses bad sources."

I am looking at the actual budget. What other sources are there?

@#105 ... To be have nothing cut, it would have been +53Million (the new compensation package) in the budget. ...
Huh?
#110 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER A

If there was no budget cut the budget would have increased +53M for compensation adjustments, because that was the total of that adjustment in NOV

But since there was a $17M cut in the budget the increase was only $36M in NOV.

According to the LAFD Chief they had to cut the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires, per the memo in December.

The 58 Million for new vehicles was in the original June budget approval for vehicle replacements, NOT NEW, and its not the Nov as stated in the article.

Wrong. They got 58 million for new fire trucks.

What are you saying?

LAFD had a budget X
and received on top of that

$58 Million for new fire trucks

PLUS
$50 Million set aside in Nov?

And the Chief as complaining about losing $17M?

You or the Chief are ------ in the head.

7 is greater than -2. What the ---- is wrong with you?
#104 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

It pretty simple really, as I stated. The gain was only in compensation.
and it was a cut in training and mechanics to work on broken equipment.

To be have nothing cut, it would have been +53Million (the new compensation package) in the budget.

It was $17M less than this.

LA mayor's office denies report fire chief was dismissed

Thats good. I know they had a meeting, I saw news that she was let go.

the council had also signed off on $58 million for new firetrucks and other department purchases.

Of course its in the budget that shrunk.

Just because there are new things in it doesn't mean it didn't shrink. Think man think.

There are a 100 vehicles currently not working and in need of repair, per the LAFD

Here's a question for you Gaslighter, since you seem to think you know what people are thinking.

Why did Bass fire the LAFD Chief?
Why did NEwsom invite Trump to CA?
Why did Newsom talk to Biden after he was caught lying about talking to Biden?

Here's my guess.

The Democrat bench is shallow for a Presidential run in 2028, Newsom is really the only person on the horizon. do you know another?
The DNC is trying really hard right now to save Newsom. The LAFD Chief, and some lacky in DWP is going to go too.

Other than that no one is really going to be held responsible.

Why does this seem to be so difficult for your current alias?
#88 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER

Where did that alias say its was difficult?

Why does this alias always assume what people think?

So it's not actually a net loss.

#90 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

It actually is.

See here's what happened, they cut the budget by $17Million. Employee compensation remained the same, so a loss of training and equipment.
Then they negotiated the compensation for the Firemen adding more $53M.

Net loss of 17Million dollars in actual funding for training, equipment etal.

I seem to recall you mumbling about arithmetic, perhaps you should learn algebra.

"Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley was fired by Mayor Karen Bass on Friday afternoon, a source close to the chief's office told DailyMail.

Kristin was summoned by Bass this afternoon, about 4pm. She came back from that meeting, hugged her staff goodbye and left. She said she was fired,' the source said."

No wonder. In September alone CA potential exposure was at $458 BILLION. The FAIR program only has $700 MILLION cash on hand to pay claims. There is no money.

Probably Trump supporters.

This absolutely needs to be looked at and fixed.

Why? It happened North Carolina, and Florida, why do you think it would be fixed by now?

Its cute you think any government can turn on a dime.

Bye.
