The majority of fires in CA are federal land. It's LITERALLY NOT the states job to manage wildfire prevention in those areas.

Not only that, what are you comparing CA's performance in wildfire management to? Certainly not a state like FL, which has a totally different climate and landscape.

Hmmm..

We have an ideal comparison right here in CA-federally managed National Parks. Two different bodies in the same region dealing with the same problems. Guess what: the federal government isn't doing any better.
Infection rates aren't some big OMG scare factor for reasons I've already been over. You can accept them or continue to dwell on cases counters. H1N1 had 70M US cases.p and a completely different death count logic.

I'm comparing a burning state to states which don't burn.

Not your job so let your state burn? OK.

The federal government is trash too. We agree on that.
It's literally illegal for the state to have control over federal land without approval. What are you saying? We should violate federal law?

Not sure if you know this but there are already talks for more coordination between state and federal agencies for wildfire prevention in CA.

I'm comparing apples to apples. Hawaii isn't going to burn not because they have good wildfire management. It's a wet climate. Just as CA doesn't have world class Polar Bear management- there's no polar bears here. So again, what are you comparing CA to? The weather is dry and hot with lots of forestry. There are going to be much more fires here than a state like Florida. Comparing "states that burn to states that don't burn" is counterproductive. That makes no sense.

You choosing to ignore infection rates doesn't make them invalid. You accuse CA for letting it burn, yet infection rates which have killed more people than wildfires are not important enough to be considered? Seems like cherry picking.
