    Californians died because lesbian firefighters were not/ could not carrying them out of fires. Their reasoning was it’s on the resident if he puts himself in that predicament. Can’t make this up if you tried.

    And they fired all the real firefighters because they refused to take the jab.

    Hey no worries, are you happy now?

    Massive L.A. Water Reservoir Unavailable For Fire Fighting Should Never Have Been Drained, Says Whistleblower
    Los Angeles Department of Water And Power could have kept water in the Santa Ynez reservoir for emergency use

    The lack of water available to firefighters in Los Angeles was unavoidable, say experts and the media. Hydrants ran dry because the fires were just too big and the water system too old. Even if the large Santa Ynez reservoir had been filled with water, it likely would not have made a difference, they say.

    But there are good reasons to believe that it would have made a very significant difference. The Santa Ynez Reservoir is just a few thousand feet away from where the massive Pacific Palisades fire started and is the second largest of L.A.’s “ten major active reservoirs.”

    It’s too early to say precisely how much of a difference it would have made, and there’s no question that LA’s fire system is antiquated. It was never created to battle so many different fires at once. What’s more, the use of so many hydrants and the destruction of so many service lines to private residences resulted in a major loss of water and, thus, of water pressure.

    But the Santa Ynez reservoir was uphill from the Pacific Palisades fire and the firefighters doing battle with it would likely have had first access to its 117 million gallons of water before other firefighters below them. And that would likely have kept water pressure high.

    While the media downplayed the significance of the Santa Ynez, a senior water utility executive has come forward to tell Public that “117 million gallons is a huge amount of treated water storage to have available for firefighting. Massive. Maybe one of the biggest treated water storage reservoirs on the whole West Coast.”

    The person I spoke with has worked as a senior professional in a California water utility for two decades. The person told Public that the LADWP should never have drained the Santa Ynez reservoir of water. Instead, it should have kept it full for emergency use, and only drained it to repair a torn cover after the fire risk was far lower and after LADWP had a contractor under contract and ready to perform necessary repairs.

    The emissions testing part is a lie. You well know that.

    The inspections are safety and mechanical inspections and would likely be done in any state. After the truck is done with fire fighting it is inspected again, this way they know any damage to the truck is billed to the incident and not to the citizens of Oregon.

    Completely ridiculous. That's the left though. Hire an incpetent moron and continue to support Newscum. I guess they won't learn

    Given that the argument isn’t even mine and comes from an LLM that Musk endorses, don’t see how that’s relevant. Moreover, does the Community Notes care where the person who submits a note is from? Should it?

    Also, is the person that Musk quoted in trying to dunk on Newsom (Ian Miles Cheong) from California or, for that matter, from the US?

    Wasn’t my fact check. But maybe the X platform should make use of xAI tools as an integrated fact checking tool available to subscribers. What do you think?

    And any thoughts why community notes weren’t added to the tweet that Newsom responded to, which grok says in misleading?

    Even Fox is calling your bullshit source

    You are the one in an alternate reality. Making **** up or just believing whatever you can find on the internet. Just think about some of the ridiculous claims you make. Where is any level of sane thinking, man? You can do better.
