    @LuFins-Dad

    Honestly I saw libs of TikTok post this and I’m like, so what? They’re women.

    Are they unqualified? Then say it and describe why. Are they doing stupid shit? Then tell me about that.

    But don’t just assume I’ll surmise that because they’re women.

    Oh they’re butch dykes? Honestly as women firefighters go that’s probably the ideal subset to recruit from.

    One commenter said ‘I’d like to see them do [some physical task]. Well I have news for you, the leadership of one of the largest fire departments in the country doesn’t have that as part of their job description. Also I have no idea who that commenter was but I’ll bet the chick on the right could take him.

    Well, they state that DEI was the department’s number one priority. Not, you know, putting out fires.

      That’s my point.

        Re @George-K question, moved to the appropriate thread.

        My understanding is they didn’t fill the reservoirs because some fish in Northern California might have taken offense. Ok more like environmental rules stymied the diversion of water away from its historic path to the pacific.

          I chuckled at this reply. As I did at LD's "DEI priority" comment. Happy Thursday 🙂

            In fairness to Bass, I think she left before the fires hit.

                I really doubt that. Everyone knows CA has massive exposure to wildfires.

                I mean sure, can you find some twitter rando mocking him? But of his three hour interview, I doubt many people chose his comments on the potential for CA wildfires to mock.

                        How does the normal person get to that point? In fire departments, by rising through the ranks.

                          The mayor says - help can be found at URL

                          “Make no mistake, Los Angeles will rebuild stronger than ever. Right now, if you need help, emergency information, resources and shelter is available. All of this can be found at URL. Los Angeles together is how we will get through this,” Bass said while reading off a script.

Well I have news for you, the leadership of one of the largest fire departments in the country doesn’t have that as part of their job description. Also I have no idea who that commenter was but I’ll bet the chick on the right could take him.

                                  How does the normal person get to that point? In fire departments, by rising through the ranks.

                                  Think any of those gals could roll hose or pack 200 pounds of deadweight like a man?

                                  The one on the right, sure.

                                  Only non-witches get due process.

                                    Governor hairgel is wearing a hat so that his oleaginous head doesn't catch fire.

                                    "Figure it out."

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        That memo was how I opened this thread.

                                          "LA burned on his/her watch" will be the slogan they'll hear I'm sure. Mayor Bass had a career panic in her video (although maybe she was just trying to "say nothing", which is the opposite of what a leader should do), and I'd imagine Newsom is thinking his 2028 odds are also going up in smoke.
