California IS Dreaming

Post by _subgenius »

Ok, its no argument that California poorly manages its natural resources and that it heavily suckles at the Fed teet.

So, is there some valid criticism in the following statement? and is his remedy a long time coming?

“There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor,” Trump tweeted Saturday from France. “Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!”

if there is sense in a Trump tweet, it's a chance effect only.

irrelevant to both reason and the OP.

Unless there's something other than an unsupported allegation in that tweet (or any other part of the OP), there's no valid criticism in the tweet. Just the usual bloviating from Mango Mussolini.

Maybe you can help out the tweet's author and offer some specifics?

you think there is no support for "California forest management is so poor"?

and the tweet author is irrelevant to whether the claims are substantial except inasmuch as you would rather go after messenger instead of message.

Not to point out the painfully obvious, but you're using the tweet as a basis for validity. Now you're complaining because I'm pointing out that the tweet offers no basis for validity.

Again, maybe you've got something to support the argument. Put it out there, if so. Start with what 'forest management' means to you, then give some comparative stats.

Lots of bandwidth awaits you.

Can you maybe start your own thread? This one is dedicated to the OP.

Oh, i thought you were aware of the fires and their consequential damage in California.
Must just be "act of God" stuff...but just there...God just acting up in California in spite of their superior natural resource management policies and procedures.
