It has quickly risen to the level of not just massive misappropriation but obvious embezzlement. Leftist governments aren’t simply tacking on unnecessary spending. They are redirecting and stealing critical infrastructure money in order to fund pet social projects (with kickbacks for friends and family). We have literal criminals and thieves operating governments in the west, same as any other third world shithole, and it’s getting people killed.

and they sent all their equipment to ukraine

it's environment-al idiocy. SoCal sucks up all of the water in the surrounding area, turning it into a giant dust bowl yet they still don't have enough water to fight fires. Public transportation is also shit so traffic is constantly congested. The surrounding environment looks dead as fuck, the air quality is shit, and everyone is depressed in some way.

One could understand thinking the world is headed to a climate disaster if they lived in SoCal, but the reality is they just live in a poorly planned shithole.

Yeah, because they were deciding to focus entirely on DEI instead of fire prevention and management. Just take a look at that new fire chief, first lesbian woman ever to head the LA fire department. Its almost comical that this would happen just a month or two after that announcement.

It's the same scam that was happening in Hawaii. The 'equity' water allocation to address past injustices, always means, you wont have water. Corporate mega farms stealing all of the water, and pretending they are giving it to poor, black natives.
