Trying to figure out when electing, hiring and appointing people to important positions within the government hierarchy became solely an affirmative action effort. It's not working.
Most bureaucrats are terrified of losing their cushy risk-avoiding jobs. And very few of them are particularly competent. Therefore, they're threatened when they're around competent people who get the job done. So, every chance they get, they surround themselves with incompetent people, to give their own incompetence cover.
DEI has become just a way to hire incompetents in a way that can be spun as virtuous.
I don't think my comment was 100% accurate, or precisely what I meant. I think the nut of it is that they have dropped the pretense of "public service" and replaced it with serving themselves and having the gall to rub our faces in it, like we owe them our money to have positions of power with tremendous remuneration and they owe nothing back to us for it but scorn.
You left out Biden's other piece of good news. the house that the new (and acknowledged) great-grand baby (how does he know its gender?? Did the baby say what it is alredy??) will live in hasn't burned down. Yet.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that climate change is elevating the risk of devastating wildfire events. Do you: (A) take measures to reduce fuel loads in wildlands (especially ones adjacent to cities). create firebreaks and defensible spaces to protect buildings, and insure that there is sufficient water in reserve to fight a worst-case event and that the water distribution system supplying fire hydrants has sufficient capacity to move that water to all those hydrants, even if they all are opened at once or (B) trade in your internal-combustion car for an EV on the theory that will reverse climate change and make the threat go away?
California Democrats choose B, because it's easy and relatively cheap.
"Democrats are, of course, screaming about “climate change,”..." Seems that Dems are always screaming about something that is amorphous and unprovable. 🤨
More like Scarborough Unfair, amirite?!

Also all that water from 11 months ago that could have been stored and used, but went to the see because reservoirs make Gaia cry or some BS

40% of Californians voted Republican two months ago - we're not all lost ...
