Comment on Thousands flee as Los Angeles wildfires burn out of control

Oh come on… This is supposed to be a summer time thing. If we start doing this year round we might run out of California.

For real though this sucks. It’s kinda disappointing how normal it is that at least once a year the west coast bursts into flames and devastates thousands of peoples lives.

Well, it’s a prolonged drought thing. Turns out those can happen any time of year.

Damn and drain every river before it can even get to the US-Mexico border. Plant a bunch of non-native foliage and watch it turn to dried out kindling season after season. Never. Stop. Emitting. Carbon. Learn nothing. Double down next year, because developers just got their hands on some fresh new cheap real estate.

But don’t worry, we’re investing several trillion dollars into energy/water hungry data farms to finally create AI God. I’m sure that’ll fix the problem.

  Funny thing is I’m literally one of the surveyors that has been doing hydrographic surveying on the Colorado river so I’ve seen first hand how absolutely fucked it is and have the data to back it up. And lemme tell ya, it’s absolutely fucked.
