So just how crazy is California?

First off they did not replace this man when he was recalled a couple of years ago, instead they said naw we need more crazy stupid. Apparently they did not know crazy stupid leads to destruction and death.

The current tragedy in California was bound to happen. Authoritarianism always leads to destruction and death of those enslaved. This time is was the decisions of a group of Marxist that were elected. From DIE ( I call DEI - DIE - and now we have proof DIE is the correct moniker ) hires we have total incompetence. Empty reservoirs, broken fire hydrants - for MONTHS. These DIE hires have resulted in the destruction of the LA area and DEATH!

Then we have the religion of environmentalism that did not allow the clearing of underbrush and dead fall trees. Adding an enormous amount of dry tinder to really get things going and sustain the fires. This religion demands that man do nothing to protect himself and let nature go wild. Trees must be harvested, they have a lifespan just like everything on earth. We can put them to use or nature will. This was a conscious decision to let these fires happen. It was not a matter of IF it was a matter of when.

They have banned gasoline generators, gasoline driven water pumps. You can only have electric generators and pumps. So battery operated or grid attached. WE all have some battery operated tools. I use mine all the time, in the field, outside, roadside wherever I need a un tethered tool or just because a cord tool is a pain to use. More time unrolling and rolling up extension cords.

Sure you can run 300 - 400 feet of cord to the workplace but why when you have battery operated? On the other hand when I need a heavy duty that can take long periods of use and abuse I use corded. One problem with both? you NEED grid power and if it a emergency situation and the gird is down what then if no gas engines?

When I am pumping water and need lots quick I use a gasoline powered pump. Reliable, will run hours on a tank of gas, powerful. The rig I built to use on prescribed burns is gas powered. 10 minutes before the first drip torch is lit, I fill it up, start it up and it runs until we are done. 6-10 hours later. How long would an battery electric one last? For certain not that long, i’m going to guess an hour. Sure their are grid pumps like my sump pumps I use in cattle waterers, but really with out line power they are useless and will not run. If the power goes down my cattle tanks will freeze over in hours. My fire rig will pump 200 gallons per minute and throw it 70-80 feet. That is what you need for a fire not some battery pump that will pump 5 gallons per minute and last 10-15 minutes with diminishing output.

So the people in California vote for this idiocy, they keep putting the same people or same type of people in office. Will the cost of everything - homes, possessions and lives finally wake them up? Your houses are burning to the ground, you are loosing everything because YOU, YOUR neighbor the people of CA voted for this to happen and the results that are taking place.

Here’ a guy that broke the law, he saved his house while everything else is gone. Wonder if Gavin will sic the cops on him and issue a ticket or have him arrested?

Here’s a unique idea, sure not cheap but it will probably save his house.

Here is the kicker for those of us not in California. Be prepared for your home owners and business insurance to sky rocket. The remaining insurance companies are going to get slaughtered and to stay in business we are ALL going to pay for the craziness in California. Our business building insurance went up 50% upon renewal in February.

These are going to be the norms not the exception. Crazy laws passed by our owners are the cause of this NOT greedy insurance companies. When you are not allowed by your owners to have a gasoline powered water pump this type of devastation is inevitable.

It time to put California on notice. Your crazy laws are costing us out here in fly over country big money - money we do not have. Therefore through federal legislation /California should be isolated from the rest of the country. They set up their own insurance pool, or private companies can sell insurance. However all funding must come for within CA. The companies operating in CA would be isolated to providing insurance only to the people in CA and all premiums - increases and all. They would operate solely in CA and could not shift he financial burden to other states. CA would sink or swim on its own.

We as a country are being held hostage and ruled by California Democrats. I did not vote for them so why are they making laws that cost me money? Cars, small engines, beef, pork, chicken, eggs. Their laws on chicken raising, egg layers and hog raising has increased the prices for those commodities for all of us. California Democrats love talking about fair, well its not fair to us to pay for their mistakes. Companies should refuse to do business in California, hog producers and egg producers should have said okay we just won’t send food into California, Two can play this game and no food is checkmate.

Its time to push CA out of the nest and they can either fly or crash to the ground - all on their own. ( they will crash and burn because their Marxist ideology has failed since Karl first proposed it. Doing it harder and more will not make it work as it goes against human nature.

The amount of destruction brought by California’s politics is going to hit each and every one of us. From the resultant destruction of businesses that will never reopen to the shortage of lumber, concrete and other items used to rebuild. All of our insurance rates are going to go up to pay for this. The economic fallout of $150 billion and counting is going to be huge. Banking could be a huge hit as these houses if not issued will be returned to the bank. A quarter acre of ground with debris to clean up is not worth a million $’s

To think most if not all of this could have been prevented with just a little common sense.
