    It was to illustrate that California sends more in federal funds than they receive (unlike con states), if trump is going to revoke them receiving federal aid then they should respond in kind — they would actually come out ahead.

    It was illustrated in my original post.

    It absolutely has to do with the subject.

    Your statement is false. I know exactly where the fires were. I also know that here in the Dems petri dish, funds that could have been used to mitigate damage from fires were mismanaged. Dems at least admit to that. Chances are that those who voted Republican are not the ones waiting for the government to help them.

    So what? I am in one of those states and we have a highly disproportionate percentage of the demographic which nationwide has the highest percent of persons on government subsistence. Are you proposing we equalize the dollar amounts of government subsistence payments across state lines?

    Many people DID have insurance so you are wrong in insisting NO one in California had insurance.

    After a catastrophe where people lose everything they own, they need food , clothing and shelter immediately...

    duhhh, having insurance doesn't mean you haven an INSTANT new home the next day!

    Why would you think something so silly???



    Unanswered question:




    Does FEMA control forestry for the US?

    I am not understanding what you have having trouble understanding.

    If the con president is going to refuse federal aid to dem states they should refuse in turn to fund the federal government. All of them. Let’s see trumps temper tantrum then.

    The least Trump could do was give them money for rakes so they can rake the forest ( or forrest :)) like Forrest Trump claims Scandinavian countries do. :)

    Do yourself a favor and more than read forum rule, try hard to abide with them. We keep losing members due to them being banned. Mods will weed out those not willing to follow forum rules.

    California changed its tune. First they blamed it on man and his manufactured droughts. Yes, they blame humans for climate.
    Now they blame the major utilities. Claim they do not keep the areas they have jurisdiction free from fuel for fires. Say their power lines fall down and cause fires.

    Which, as usual, has nothing to do with my post.

    Send rakes !!! :)

    PG and E have been proven negligent in other fires. Three of their top operations managers in the region all decided to “retire” at the same time. One have to wonder why. Are you a shill for them or something??

    Edit: meant for Robert.

    Surely you don't blame PG&E when Democrats assure us fires are caused by we mortal humans by causing droughts. Say it is not so.

    Democrats here in my state will work hard to put PG& E out of business. PG&E is now in self defense mode.

    Here is my complaint. We have people paid for who follow this utility around like a hound dog. Why are they escaping blame?

    PG and E dug their own grave. If they can’t be efficient and safe then merge with somebody that can. Their monopoly mentality just won’t cut it.

    How ignorant. Men and women die trying to put fires out during the burn season instead of brushing and doing control burns during the off season. Prove me wrong. Governor Moon Beam and his tree huggers can wipe with their horned owls!

    The hyperbole of the modern day liberal is comedic.
