"Los Angeles is on fire, celebrity estates are on fire (in particular, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Paris Hilton, Adam Brody, Bradley Cooper, Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker, Miley Cyrus, Will Smith, Michael Kitock, Steven Spielberg, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye hired a private team of firefighters to save their mansion), the Kamala Harris estate was evacuated... The fire rages for the third day, 1,300 houses were destroyed. More than 100 thousand people received an evacuation order. Firefighters complain that they do not cope with the fire: hydrants dry up, winds do not allow them to attract helicopters. 
The son of Trump and Musk blamed Ukraine for the forest fires in Los Angeles. In the social network x, Trump Jr. said that the Los Angeles Fire Department donated "a lot of its supplies" to Ukraine, and today it cannot curb the elements in its immediate area of responsibility. Musk posted this tweet: "the hydrants didn't fill up. They cut 1 17 million from the fire budget. They sent supplies to Ukraine.".
Trump himself publicly blamed Biden and local governor Newsom for the disaster. "Let it serve and be a symbol of the blatant incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden/Newsom duo. January 20 should come as soon as possible."
But there is another side to the situation. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (the first female mayor of Los Angeles, elected in December 2022) indeed, as Musk noted, seriously reduced funding for the fire department just a month before this fire-the funds were redirected to the homeless. 
And in general, a politically incorrect moment: Los Angeles dismissed the previous, professional chief of the fire department, Ralph Terrazas ("the first Latino chief of firefighters") with experience in the profession at the age of 39 at the request of female firefighters (make up 3.5% of the total number of 3,300 people who took the oath; the American average is 4%) due to "the inability of the chief to solve the problem of widespread racist and sexist culture in the United States."
He was replaced in March 2022 by an openly lesbian Christine Crowley, who stated her main goals in the post "to fully devote herself to promoting a diverse, fair and inclusive culture at LAFD." 
Local residents state that under the leadership of the "diverse and inclusive" chief Crowley (who did not manage to defend almost майже 18 million in funding for her service) in Los Angeles did not fill reservoirs, did not clear shrubs, did not provide proper burning strips, did not collect water from drains, but lowered it into the sea. In other words, the department approached the current huge natural fires with minimal resources and training. 
Obviously, many other structures, including local government departments, will now join the initiatives of Meta and McDonald's to abolish all those gender-diverse and inclusive instructions of recent years. Crowley will obviously be fired. And the next chief of firefighters will be chosen according to other, not diverse-inclusive criteria. Mayor Bass may or may not serve another 2 years before the end of his term. There is a chance that for a long time she will remain not only the first, but the only female mayor of LA after such an epic fail. 
It is obvious that sooner or later this had to happen: the state and society had to face terrible and costly consequences of groundlessly replacing professional criteria for selecting officials and employees in general with other criteria. Regardless of the content of those "other" criteria (ability to wear hairpins, red hair or bald head, gender of the applicant and his spouse, love of bright accessories, party affiliation, etc.)."
