    I’m sorry if facts hurt your feelings. The EC was partly justified by the fact that slave states had a far more limited number of white male property owners because of chattel slavery.

    If the truth offends you, it’s you, my man.

    Aren’t you a moderator? Isn’t “climate idiots” against recent requests to dial back personal insults?

    If I say you’re suffering from Dunning-Kruger and have no idea what you’re talking about, will that hurt your feelings enough to edit another one of my posts?

    Newsflash: even oil companies accept anthropogenic climate change. You don’t know more than climate scientists. You don’t know more than scientists working for even oil companies. Your posts are based in either malignant ignorance or petulant trolling. I’m not even sure.

    Is this another opportunity to ask you how MAGA boots taste?

    Anyone that isn't a conservative white male is considered a DEI hire these days

    When I was recruiting for my prior employer, several members of my team would routinely mock anyone with clearly “black” names as being “affirmative action” people allowed to go to college. It was repulsive.

    White men don’t seem to understand how easy we have it in the professional world from a privilege point of view. It’s especially lost on those who grew up in a world where anyone not white or male mostly inhabited lower level positions.

    One of the biggest moments of schadenfreude I’ve ever had was watching one of those not-white, not-male people put into a leadership role over a guy who was on my hiring team. She earned it. She was a superstar.

    He raged.

    Billy finds my posts funny. Billy doesn’t like responding with substance because Billy doesn’t have any.

    It’s really sad how many adults in this country have become incapable of understand that there are things that others, better experienced and educated, know better than themselves.

    If the false idol says it’s true, it must be true. It’s the same fawning and worship you see in North Korea.

    Stop politicizing disasters. I remember people smacking Bush for Katrina when he didn’t deserve it. It only caused additional problems as desperate people angrily turned down critical help.

    This is not responsive. You won’t find trees like this in the parks on the hillsides around Pacific Palasades. They’re dominated by scrub brush on steep hillsides.

    Scrub brush.....if I have time later I will search my videos and see if I can find a picture of that area before they cleared it....it was so thick you would have needed a machete to pass through it.

    Ok, the video you showed was of a flat area in a forest where you can run a brush hog. You’re not doing that on the hillsides by Pacific Palisades for at least three reasons: 1) it’s not physically possible due to the grade, 2) they need the vegetation’s roots to support the hillsides to prevent slides, and 3) it’s the only vegetation which supports the ecosystem/wildlife.
