Show Notes

Californians will be in shock for a long time over the vast firestorms in Los Angeles. We don’t yet know what ignited each fire.

California environmentalism discourages clearing of public and private land, and stymies upgrades of water delivery systems. And Los Angeles recently trimmed back its firefighting budget by $18 million. “Climate change” is not the culprit.
