Ugh... he's a moron...

[Worffan101]

Of course he's a moron, he's a sucker with no morals who thinks that makes him a con artist.

[Yukaphile]

He also suffers from a problem I do, though to a much greater extent. He really is overly obsessed with what people think about him. Mine is rooted in 50% narcissism, 50% empathy, though. His is all narcissism.

A true narcissist would lie about the empathy part...

[Yukaphile]

Empathy is weird in that comes very hard and very easy to me. I think I'm quite naturally neurotic. Though I'd say I'm the harmless neurotic type rather than the raving maniac who must hurt others all the time with paranoid delusions.

California has some of the worst forestry policy on earth. Not only has the state itself slashed the forestry budget, but they have a worst of both worlds approach of don't mess with nature (don't clear detritus or underbrush) and protect the national parks (put out all fires even small ones)

If the state is unwilling to manage the forest why should the Fed bother.

[Yukaphile]

So we should just let them burn? Even what little they have means they can manage it to a degree. So just pulling it all means they burn to death. What the fuck?

The state of CA just got out of a drought that many would describe as a 500+ year drought. They are technically out of the drought (as it ended like in 2016 or 2017) but they still have to deal with the Santa Ana winds that helps blow the fire around. Also, global warming is clearly playing a major part to this fire as well.

The natural state of California is a desert. Global warming is an excuse for the negative consequences of shitty forest management.
