"Wild Fires" are without a doubt a "man-made" condition. Wild Fires in Lost Angeles and Kommieforniastan are direct policy problems. Other states, I can;t speak to as authoritatively as I can about The People's Republik of Kommieforniastan.

"Torrential Rain" doesn't GAF about policy.

There's a difference.

Smitferbrains gave you the crazy face - he thinks the fires are all SpOnTaNeOuS cOmBuStIoN

"While the particular circumstances of these events are different, I didn't expect that folks here would need an explanation to discern the similarities".


Like wise , I wouldn't think it would need to be explained the differences.

My point was that I thought it was in poor taste when DJT used the LA fires to dunk on his political opponents, and I consider it equally shabby to see some Dems do essentially the same thing re the Texas floods!

While the particular circumstances of these events are different, I didn't expect that folks here would need an explanation to discern the similarities.

I didn't say your point wasn't Valid..

I just disagree.

California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska all have multiple wildfires every year. There are probably more States?


edit:  According to the net scrapers.


Wildfires occur in nearly every U.S. state each year, but the frequency, size, and impact vary widely. The states that experience wildfires every single year—with consistent annual incidents—include:

California

Pennsylvania

Cali Burns "EVERY" year. Not once every 20 years.

We've had wildfires here in CA for as long as I've lived here (42 years), and I don't recall that it ever mattered what flavor was "in office" at the time, no matter what the brain trust here might think. And I don't recall that Texas floods are a new thing either (no matter what team blue would have you think).

To elaborate further on "my point" from yesterday: I think it's cheesy to dunk on the other guy when they suffer some random misfortune that's likely happened to "your team/tribe" as well sometime in the past.

It's also hypocritical to whine about this when you're the butt of the joke, when you were more than happy to behave like an ass when you had the upper hand.

I used to think that folks that did our sort of work (machinists/programmers, toolmakers, business owners, AE's, etc) must somehow be smart enough to see through this, that somehow being logically gifted made us immune to the sort of media-influenced BS that most folks take at face value. Boy was I wrong....sigh.

My question, is since we appear to have wildfires in most US States every year, why is California the only State that seems to be singled out as being negligent?

Sorry that you had to find out this way?

Yeah but how many of those states deliberately ignore fire prevention measures like forest management?
There's 1 for certain: California.

Because they keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.
