California in the 1890s imported tons of Eucalyptus trees for railroad ties, then allowed them to grow and spread after being planted all over the place. Technically an invasive species. These trees shed bark and oil all over the place, creating a literal tinder box everywhere and the CA environmentalists refuse to let these trees be maintained, which burns thousands out of their homes every year.

But Hollywood wants you to think their state is burning because your work truck six states away is causing climate change.

Nope, you changed the climate in your state over a century ago and refuse to clean up after yourselves.

political correctness is killing people. Due to the whining of the Sierra Club and puppets like Gretta Thunberg, PG&E has been bullied into reducing the clearance around power lines. Back in the day, high tension lines had 200 foot clearance to reduce fires when high winds take out power lines. This is the REAL REASON FOR POWER BLACKOUTS. They are taking the grid down because they know that there's extreme risk of fire. NOT A POWER SHORTAGE.

This also increases misery, which, at its tipping point, leaves people vulnerable to radical changes in their government.

Radical change in California can only go two ways… Right to Murica or Left to Chyna. We are already in the early stages of Venezuela.
