California Caught Off Guard By Massive Fires After LA Fire Dept Spent Years Pushing ‘Racial Equity’

[alaskanseminole]

Or pulling 13 million from the fire departments budget and using much or what was left on DEI training.

Are you able to find where 13 million went towards DEI training?

2024-2025 CA State Budget: https://ebudget.ca.gov/2024-25/pdf/Enacted/BudgetSummary/FullBudgetSummary.pdf
2024-2025 LA Budget: https://cao.lacity.gov/budget/summary/2024-25 Budget Summary - FINAL.pdf

Best I can find is that there was a $17.6 million budget decrease—$7 million reduction in overtime, additional personnel cuts, salary adjustments, etc. I don't see where that money was diverted to DEI. However, I did find a $125.9 million budget increase for the police department, I'd look there.

A month before fires, L.A. fire chief warned budget cuts were hampering emergency response

The Los Angeles Fire Department's budget was cut by $17.6 million, about 2%, this fiscal year. The fire chief warned last month it would make it harder to respond to emergencies.

You're deep in the retard media.

She wasn't fired.

Are you still upset about the $100K for the cafe'? It represents approximately 0.0104% of the overall budget. If that 100K was back in the budget, would the fire be out by now?

Forget the budget crap. California is governed by Liberals. Water management as well as land management has been a complete failure under these clowns. California has had and will always have wildfires.

As Los Angeles burns to the ground and its citizens suffer you can sleep better knowing DEI played a large part in this tragedy.

Back for more, I see. Maybe you could educate us. Heck, I'll even make it easy leaving you a space to type out your responses.

1. How do you directly connect the Los Angeles Fire Department's focus on DEI to the outbreak and spread of wildfires in the region?

Rico Response Area:

2. What evidence do you have that suggests DEI initiatives, rather than factors like poor forest management, weather conditions, or underfunding, were the primary reason for the LAFD's inadequate response to the fires?

Rico Response Area:

3. Can you provide examples of how the LAFD's racial equity plan specifically hindered firefighting efforts during this fire?

Rico Response Area:

4. Given that the LAFD called in off-duty firefighters to help manage the fire, how can you reasonably argue that the department's diversity efforts prevented them from effectively responding?

Rico Response Area:

5. Why do you believe that focusing on DEI within the fire department detracts from their ability to fight fires when many industries, including emergency services, have found that diverse teams lead to better problem-solving and performance?

DEI = DIE ... literally.

Of course the Obiden voters on this board get a boner every time a mother kills her children. Or Joe rapes an intern.

DEI = "Ineptitude" means a lack of skill or ability, while "inaptitude" means a lack of suitability or natural inclination for a particular activity. Other similar words include "ineptness," "inability," "incapability," "inadequacy," and "inaptness."

The LGBTQ Queen running the Fire Department is inept.

The Mayor who appointed the Fire Chief is inept.

Of course the article doesn't provide any good evidence that DEI played a large part in the tragedy. Or that the LGBTQ fire chief is inept. In fact, other conservatives are citing the fire chief as someone demanding more resources for the fire department. (you surely have seen those quotes)

Anyway, you're a stupid person that can't argue. I'm going to **** around with you as long as I find you amusing in some way and then ignore you in a bit. You're disposable. You're a terrible arguing partner. You offer nothing.

Tard on, my friend.

You are such a blathering dicksicle. Don't you tire of getting your fvcking ass handed to you daily? Seriously, I get that you're nothing more than a troll and the best part of you ran down your dad's leg when he hopped back over the fence after spending the best $10 of his life banging your mom, but my god what a dumbass you are.
