As a matter of national security, no public utility service should ever be in private hands.

Now you see the results.

They are saying that none of this is true. The California dams are all full.

No surprise but all that Trump is saying is as expected untrue.

All recipes for a disaster!
I heard 12,000 homes destroyed?!
With that many residences … I honestly would have thought America is well prepared for anything.

When we visited long lost elderly rellies (early 80 yr olds) in orange county California, sitting outside in back yard of their original home since married in the 1950s, all I could hear was constant busy traffic, and all built up houses everywhere, they told me it used to be quieter with orange orchards all around.
So that’s why it’s called orange county!
But there’s none that I saw.

How are our own capital city infrastructures? As all houses on old fashioned 1/4 acre blocks are now cut up into 3 small blocks or with multiple units built.
So many buildings in more confined areas.
Just wondering.

The US seems different. 'Scientists are studying severe storms in South America to gain a better understanding of those in North America," says Chungu Lu, a program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences.

The researchers discovered that in South America, the rough texture of the land surface east of the Andes Mountains may play a role in preventing tornadoes over central South America. In North America, however, tornadoes often form east of the Rockies, where air flows in from the relatively flat surface of the Gulf of Mexico.'
--
Arctic cold air is half of a tornado and Antarctic winds don't flow to Oz across the ocean, with no mountains on the west. 'The jetstream has been located abnormally further to the north across the western part of the US, and that is directing all of these storms with rain and snow to the Pacific north-west … as opposed to southern California'.

The Santa Ana wind is a special case not seen in Oz.

You've got to ask, after the chicanery of big business/banking that caused the GFC, how do people get away with this shyte?

The Resnicks should be in the sights of the FBI or CIA for corruption .... from what I've read they should be in jail for what they've done behind closed doors with bribery & corruption.

So should a whole heap of public servant bureaucrats i.e. the Mayor of Los Angeles, the CEO of the Water Board and the DEI advocates running the Los Angeles Fire Dept.

Like the sale of "derivatives" & dodgy mortgages
that companies insured to fail by the Banks & Insurance Companies during the GFC ... the Resnicks sell "paper water" i.e. water that doesn't even exist back to the state ... water which is allocated but never given .... instead they just take more water for the agricultural business.

Quote:
These groups, a mix of private companies and public agencies, rewrote California’s water laws without any input from voters, taxpayers, or legislators. The new laws, called The Monterey Plus Agreement or The Monterey Amendments were devastating for working Californians and great for agriculture billionaires.

The original law had “urban preference” a long-standing rule that in times of drought the state water board would give urban areas–where people live–access to state water supplies before agricultural interests. Monterey axed that. That means that in times of drought the water systems for normal Californians would have to buy water from the private companies, because they weren’t getting it from the state.

The new agreement also loosened regulations on “paper water.” That’s water that doesn’t necessarily actually exist anywhere but on paper: the full quantities of water that providers could have, but don’t actually need to have. Today 5x as much water has been promised and sold as actually exists.


Quote:
Boom. One secret meeting and the Resnicks owned nearly 60% of an important California water resource, built with hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money.

The new ownership combined with the rules on paper and surplus water meant that during times of drought the Resnicks could sell Kern water back to the state water systems.

They took Californian taxpayers’ water and sold it back to them– both literally as the water supply, and also to grow expensive food like gourmet pistachios and pomegranate juice. They converted the peoples’ water into products many can’t afford.

And that’s just one waterbank, the Resnicks also have control of other water boards and have been sued for directing more water towards their properties.

So how do they get away with this Chinatown-level chicanery? With philanthropy!

That's what happens when DEI is the Los Angeles Fire Dept top priority.

Quote:
This followed several days of Crowley getting swept into the national political fray over diversity, equity and inclusion policies that conservatives believe have gone too far in American institutions. Crowley, who is openly gay and the city’s first female fire chief, has made diversifying the overwhelmingly male department a priority.

“What we are seeing (was) largely preventable,” talk show host Megyn Kelly said on her show. “LA’s fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority, but diversity.”
