Do that to CA and you're shooting yourself in the foot as the US
Destroying your most important ports and where more than 50% of your agriculture nationwide comes from is not a good idea
Absolutely nobody can accuse the right of being smart
Which is exactly why they would burn it to the ground. The federal government would never let California, let alone any state, secede peacfully. They can't risk losing those resources and would destroy them before allowing them to be competition.
Was it really? I was under the impression that they mostly were agricultural, while the north had all the light and heavy industries... (sorry, I'm not american)
You are correct. It heavily contributed to their loss. Without international support, or the industries to leverage that support they were isolated, poor and out of manpower.
If Union leadership was better in the beginning we would have seen them rolled much faster.
A huge reason the south lost was because they were NOT an economic powerhouse...
Much like today.
CA is already burning due to mismanagement. So....
TIL wind=mismanagement
Climate change = mismanagement on the part of pretty much the whole world. So technically correct.
Question: what things were done in the 80's to prep for wildfires? Do they do any of those things today?
Fuck off you empty headed dumb fucking sea lion sack of shit.
No.
So you don't actually know what you're talking about and yet you commented anyway?
I was alive in the 80s, I definitely know what I'm talking about. If you can't answer the question though, then you obviously do not.
You're still not listing any of the things. One thing??
You know what didn't happen? Firefighters not showing up. Water not in hydrants. Shrubbery left alone so kindling builds up.
Lots of things were done different that tech has never made better.
Also, I'm not a conservative, I'm a liberal constitutionalist.
Oh, the Maui fires, LA fires and Australian fires are all random anomalies with historic damage that coincidentally happened within the last 3 years?
The more you share your opinion the more you validate my opinion that someone took a giant shit in your skull that replaced a brain. Youre on some Jewish space Lazer bullshit.
The Maui fires yes. I'm not sure what happened with Australia, I'd have to look more into how they preemptively prep for wildfires. If they completely stoped safety preparation, then yes, I'd lump them in with the others.
Yes, the climate is changing, we're coming out of a mini ice age. That doesn't mean all safety prep becomes useless. It means we should be doing MORE of it, not less.
I'm not surprised you actually believe climate change isn't caused by human actions. You "looking into something" is probably reading daily wire youtube comments.
You think there's no natural climate change???
Human actions are such an incredibly small portion of "climate change," we hardly move the scale in the grander scheme of things.
And not a fan of right-wing media. I'm not conservative.

You don't think you're a conservative because you're stupid.
https://theweek.com/conservatism/1011121/how-reagan-was-more-fdr-than-trump-and-why-that-matters-for-the-gops-future
We're changing the topic? Lol.
Yes, most scientists agree. All those FBI agents agreed that the hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinfo too, and look how that turned out
Again, I'm sure we're doing a bit, but not at all to the point where we need to be freaking out about it.
How are we changing the topic? You're a conservative that's too stupid to realize that you're a conservative yet you think you know better than climate scientist about the scale of human impact of climate change?
What was Trumps first impeachment about? How did Hunters laptop information become public? What was the FBI actually trying to say? Who's changing the subject?
Again, someone replaced your brain tissue with feces.
