When even an acknowledged leftist like Bill Maher is so devastatingly sarcastic and caustic in his comments about California politicians, it's clear that politics in that state may be undergoing a sea change. Can Democratic dominance of politics there continue as before, or will anger and disgust at the mishandling of the fires and their aftermath lead to a new alignment?
This segment is about nine minutes long, and is worth watching.
The image of all those fire engines that were out of service because they hadn't been repaired (due to budgetary restrictions) is very telling indeed.

California's strategy is for everyone to drive electric cars until the planet cools off.
Maher, clearly liberal by nature, is also a pragmatist. When the city burns and the new electric fire engines require hours to recharge - and other fire engines haven't been repaired because funds were diverted to DEI programs - it's hard to love the progressives.
he calls himself a leftist, but gives his sharpest jabs to the Left
He's on the money with that one!
They'll forget about it by 2026 and reliably pull that straight (D) ticket.
Because they just can't -not- pull anything that has a (D) behind it.
If the trucks are an indication of maintenance then it looks pretty good to me depending on how many repair and maintenance depots they have in LA. A fire truck is a complex piece of equipment and it needs regular preventative maintenance and also repairs and upgrades. You should see real readiness rates for patrol cars and Border Patrol vehicles and you would be amazed at how quickly they get chewed up.
On the grippinghand, everything is crooked, or rigged in LA and nobody can tell me that paying a 100%disabilty fireman at 28 years old $400,000/year is a 'good deal' for the taxpayers. Particularly when said firemen is running marathons and Iron Man competitions.
