@lynnjacobs9885 Well that's brilliant see I didn't know that cuz I really don't know much about Hawaii or Maui other than the broad strokes of how they were essentially kidnapped into being part of the United States.
Well ty for telling me no doubt you're exactly right, what is good for cattle may not be so good for fire management. And if their money can control the political process then they get what they want everyone else be damned. Same story just a different damn day.
And people do vote for all these crooks all the time because crooks are excellent liars and people just keep voting for the liars in both parties. I don't know why.... everyone thinks THEIR politician is the sole good guy amongst a sea of crooks. So everyone keeps voting for the same usual suspects always thinking oh no its the OTHER guy that's bad. What people forget is that with rare exception THEYRE ALL BAD!!!... and it is the height of naivete to pretend otherwise. (So what's the solution? Well a different actual people-first party for one that could help. But we can talk about that later.)
I am now wondering because of all of this terrible news that has come out if the fire was deliberately started but even if it wasn't, the way that island has been land managed over the past 100 years clearly contributed to high fire conditions.
When the big money is allowed to dictate public policy this is exactly what happens everywhere all the time. It's literally a crime because thousands or tens of thousands of people suffer because a few pieces of shit wanted things their way.
Do you remember the big fires in Northern California few years ago that destroy the town of Paradise? Now I'm not a 100% certain but I live in southern California and believe those were started by negligent maintenance from PG&E. PG&E is essentially a criminal enterprise at this point which has complete legal immunity because they buy our governors. Doesn't matter which party, they buy them all. The parties are the SAME that's what people can't seem to understand. There's no politician whose Red or Blue in this country that serves us, well there's a few but it's very few and they're not enough to make a difference; the vast majority serve MONEY, not us, period end of story. Why can't people get this after last 150 years of this being true? That is why all these disasters keep happening. Look over the past 100 years of natural disaster I'm the US, I bet you'll find an underlying pattern because I have. All of them could have been avoided or greatly reduced in severity if local and state governments had managed even halfway ethically. But it didn't matter because they were bought and paid off and they didn't give an F about the public not a single F. So they mismanaged public resources for the big pockets and then when the natural disasters hit, The fallout was way worse than it had to be because all of the countermeasures weren't properly maintained or had been removed entirely, such as the mangrove wetlands outside of New Orleans which allowed Hurricane Katrina to become much worse than it would have been otherwise (and due to other factors such as delivered and obvious neglect of the city's levees).
If we keep electing psychopaths and criminals and narcopath crooks and willfully terminally stupid dangerous lunatics, we're all going to suffer and I don't think we want that so I'm really hoping and praying something changes but you know, I mean it hasn't yet so I don't even know what to say at this point anymore. I'll be fine but it really breaks my heart to constantly see these disasters that for the most part don't have to happen , not to mention all the other mess that happens in politics.
