Why is Los Angeles on fire? | The Take

[@mr_1.618]

Looks like GAZA… Do people now feel and see what GAZA is going through…

[@luxurylifela2068]

No… This is inappropriate. There is a time and place for everything. If Gaza is your main concern, I understand that. Focus on that. I will not come onto posts about that posting about other concerns. Are you aware that the conflict going on there is not the only one. It’s also not the only case of genocide or human rights abuse going on in the world. It’s just the one that’s relevant to you. This is a tragedy that deserves to be addressed. This is not the time or place to bring up Gaza. It doesn’t in any way help that cause. It just shows how selfish and insensitive people can be. Why should anyone care about Gaza when you can’t show the respect to others that are also suffering?

[@volkersiewert6440]

Sorry! They will never understand!🤷‍♂️

[@lu544]

Lol. Did LA attack their neighboring counties?

[@WoundedWarrior2012]

Don't care! I'm American!

[@tchandrababu]

My biggest concern is how we are going to survive all these financial and political crises, especially the power struggle in the US. The government has really made things difficult for its citizens and we cannot just sit by and suffer the consequences of bad governance🙏...

[@heyflood-tm9xn]

We are not meant to survive. We are meant to be left so broken and desperate as to accept the new tech based feudalism.

[@josesalcido-x3u]

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just going into crypto investment , and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

[@mohammednaseebt7488]

And let them stop being world police and let them stand for peace all over the world and stop destroying the life of people from many countries like they are doing last many years …

[@ubir9743]

True and totally agree. Althought I’m not sure you’d be able to retain the status quo, i.e. your tenor of life, and the level of consumption that goes on in the US. For this you need a world order maintained through 300+ military bases, huge spendings on weapons and defense systems, and of course, debt. 💸 What’s going on is really a tragedy

[@BodyTrust]

WHY was not answered. High winds damaged poorly-maintained power lines in various locations. Sparks fell into dry brush. The power companies sacrifice safety for profits.

[@LostForessst]

L.A is supplied with electricity by a county institution, not by a private corporation like most of the rest of the state.

[@waltdill927]

All sympathies to the dead, the suffering. The wailing and crying is sure to be long, a clearing away and rebuilding necessary if never enough. But there is something in us, a flaw in the culture or a blindness to the truth. Nothing important can change, the next is worse. We are here in ignorance. Outside the circumference of pain, forgetfulness, oblivion.

[@LeftWingNationalist]

183 Billion to Ukraine is a smack in the face to LA Fire. Hurricane, Flint Michigan, East Palestine, and Maui victims.

[@robr2303]

To be fair Ukraine gives the money back when they purchase weapons from the US. So the money is really going to US weapons manufacturers.

[@LeftWingNationalist]

@robr2303 that doesn't help. Ukraine isn't our responsibility.

[@bonsaibaby8257]

And Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and many others from the past that are still displaced and feeling it now.

[@Knaeben]

Even if that money didn't go to Ukraine, it wouldn't go to YOU nor would it go to help with THIS. The right--wing wants more money for their personal investments, that doesn't include paying for anything else.

[@ubir9743]

@@LeftWingNationalist…aside from keeping world ‘peace’ with your 300 military bases around the world? Or printing money thay everyone else’s will buy.. there is no one more involved in the world’s current order as the US. What’s going on is a tragedy

[@ivybator6167]

Thanks for this informative report

[@vjhamilton4043]

Please understand that Bass is not the only elected official who should be scrutinized. Nowhere have I seen coverage of the LA County Supervisors also involved in managing the city. Pacific Palisades and Altadena are in LA County. The County and the City have very little to do with one another. Bass is not the mayor of LA County. We don't have a mayor, only Supervisors. More coverage of their failures is needed.

[@DeborahMarchantPoet]

Why? Terror Management Theory or TMT helps explain things. It basically says that destructive social behaviors are influenced by unconscious death anxiety or the unconscious denial of death that for instance has denied the foresights earnestly said for decades by climate scientists.

[@DeborahMarchantPoet]

It is a good insight to hold close and examine well, how the human brain falsely believes it will live forever. This fooled brain finds comfort in and is reinforced by watching movies where other people die - not itself. To help clarify this, would you watch a movie you knew you would die in?

[@Merriwether-w8k]

[@TMendocino]

My heart goes out to my hometown. But we recovered after the Oakland Hills fire, Californians always recover. Remember we are Californians, we survive, floods, mudslides, earthquakes and fires. And we get better each time. I know it's hard, but the City of the Angels will rebuild and will go on. Northern California's heart is broken, we love you LA from your brothers and sisters in San Francisco and the Bay. Fire departments from all corners of San Francisco and the Bay Area cities, have deployed hundreds of personnel, along with engines, trucks, water tenders and other resources in recent days to help our fellow Californians battle massive fires in Los Angeles County. We know in Northern California that our fellow Californians were there for us and we are there for them. For those of you that are heartless MAGA Trolls, let me put you in your place. No one in California roots for harm to those in Florida, or North Carolina when hit by hurricanes. We mourn for those that lose their lives in tornados in Oklahoma. We are sad when flooding from tropical storms hit the South and when Ice storms hit the north. No Governor, Republican or Democrat can control the weather. The State of California has a dry climate. We have Santa Ana winds and most of the State are canyons, valleys and hillsides. We have 40 million residents, 20 million live in the desert of Southern California. It is sad that the President Elect of the USA has nothing but a small, self-serving, political and cruel message and his minions who call themselves "Christian" are just as cruel, cold and callous as their small leader. You should ALL be ashamed of yourself, as a devout Catholic, I know God is ashamed of you right now. CALIFORNIA will survive we always do. GOD BLESS, the People of Los Angeles, the Firefighters, Gov. Newsom and the GOLDEN STATE. This behavior is why MAGA has been shunned and uninvited to Holiday's.

[@BGIS2000]

Dude come on you count many cities what happened to them, Why LA should take lesson when it happens. Smart people and government take lesson from passes.... you should also consider your government funding your taxes you war countries. Do not be so positive blindly. Fight for your rights to make your country better otherwise with those funding Americans will never see better life.

[@TMendocino]

@@BGIS2000 California is the 5th largest economy in the world - 94% of our residents have health insurance and health access, we have paid family leave, paid sick time, free community college, our effective tax rate is lower than that of Texas and Florida and we have more benefits. These are not our first fires and won't be the last. Rolling Hills, Hollywood Hills, Laguna Beach, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Glendale, Oakland Hills, Lake Tahoe, Topanga Canyon, Temecula/Murrieta/French Valley. I love my State, and I love our Governance and our Governor. Save your lectures for the Red States that are in economic despair, without healthcare, no benefits, no jobs, no education. California will recover we always do.
