But the OP's position was everything is great over here in Texas and you poor Californian's are on lock down. My and JMG's point was that we're not on lock down and Texas is not exactly a good example of what to do.

You're right that's it's some hyperbole and generalization, but not completely untrue.
The larger point is that California locking down to the extent they are isn't working and yet you have people pointlessly out of work in Anaheim bc Disney can't open. You also do have problems with electricity for many, maybe not you, and housing is indeed a huge problem in California. Basically, California isn't the model for anything except complaining.
Economically, things are fine in Texas, so California should take notes from that perspective...particularly if Covid cases are no different.
I think we can agree the fire situation in California is utterly ridiculous and your leaders have failed to address it. |
Many fires, not all, in CA are on Federal land. Are they being mismanaged? Maybe. But also, it is dry and hot here. Fires are a natural occurrence. It's difficult to clear hundreds of thousands of acres of dry bush, in both state and federal areas. We are talking billions in dollars of clearing land... which isn't really an option. Overall, the response of fire fighters has been phenomenal. This is a case study in human perseverance in the face of natural disasters.
