Great quote concerning California’s governance…”Since the milkvetch requires wildfires to propagate, the only way to boost its numbers is to let the land burn. A cynic might wonder if environmentalists interfered with fire prevention in hope of evicting humans from what they view as the plant’s rightful habitat. To radical environmentalists, every human is a colonizer.”…I mean if the tragedy wasn’t so horrible, you would be focused on the incompetence.  So, don’t properly prepare for an inevitable fire, create conditions conducive to maximum damage…oh, and fine the utility that tries to “fire proof” infrastructure.
