You do realize that the recession was caused by Bill Clinton's reversal of the Glas Steigel Act though, right?
Whatever dude.
I’ve read your crap.

Yep, the Cal state has been doing a great job of forest management for many years. That's why we don't have very many serious fires
Seems to make sense that building codes would reflect the environment and require fire resistant materials on exterior walls and roofs. Those cedar shake roofs - what were they thinking?
And here I thought you would read what happened. To bad you right wingers cant place blame where it should go. Gavin had nothing to do with previous forest management. It was impossible keeping our forest managed properly with no money and than add faulty PGE equipment on top of that. These are the people you should blame. Brown/Obama/Trump/PGE.
One of the main things about California fires is the Demographics of the community.
I have retired firefighters living on both sides. No doctors though.
The area of Santa Rosa that burned, Fountaingrove near the old HP plant ... 1/6 doctors.
Based on aerial photos 1 week after the fire, the privacy bushes around the lawns of the houses didn't burn. It wasn't a wall of flames situation. Every house was salvageable, it just needed someone with a hose to deal with the small spot fires.
The culture seems to affect the response to the fire.
I'm setting up tanks of water with hoses primed because ... I'm scared of fire.
In California, the thinking seemed to be ... the firefighters/ government will protect us.
As far as my roof, it's the kind of shingle that is sort of tar with gray pebbles sort of. Not cedar.
Yes, cedar does burn doesn't it. I have a lukewarm Fatwa against cedar trees on my property, because one of the live green ones ignited with very minimal flame a few years ago.
I'm very impressed by plants that are highly flammable when they're totally green !

I don't make any more than anybody else in this field. I went to school for my plumbing license and hvac certification. Work was slow during Bush and Obama, I worked several jobs before getting a job on a maintenance team at a state prison for 6 years. Work has finally picked up but life is not as sweet as you think, a few bad policy changes and everything will go back to shit.
Didn't you stomp out of here, let's see, yesterday?

Because at that time the GOP and Dems were actually one party pretending to be in opposition to each other. The Lewinskii affair was a psyop on the american people. Otherwise, people would see that it was one party dividing itself to conquer us all. And then Trump won the 2016 election and the media suddenly stated caring about corruption, lol. But, looking back, dems qnd reps been working together since before they sniped JFK and MLK jr, RFK etc..
This is why so many people think Trumo is corrupt, because they arent used to the media looking into high crimes. Suddenly all their attention is on Trump because he is draining their "swamp."
