Government incompetence and poor governance are responsible for the catastrophic nature of the current wildfires in California.

“I suppose I did mean it literally it was a metaphor uh when I when I wrote it but you know all of this bad management does actually uh does lead to quite literally burning things down and good governance can quite literally prevent that”

Leaders like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are prioritizing political posturing and ideology over the practical, primary duties of government.

“we've messed around too long in the world of ideas and sort of Feelgood you could tell she's she's used to delivering messages that feel good we're feel good we're here for you none of that matters right now”

The California government failed to prepare for predictable wildfire seasons through proper forest management and infrastructure development.

“you can't blame Gavin Newsome or Karen for the fires you can blame them for not doing the preparation necessary to deal with some of the most perfectly predictable weather that California has”
