Exactly.. How much money does the Fed spend each year combatting fires in CA and neighboring states??



Why would the govt care or not about whether holly weird goes?? Especially when Georgia and several other places have ramped UP THEIR film making.. Originally Posted by garhkal

Fires are across the western 1000 miles of the US, not at all limited to CA. Montana burning. The Los Alamos fire in New Mexico.

And I suspect there were a few federal dolars spent on Katrina, and Sandy, the I-95 flooding in SC two years ago, and three sepeate floods in St Louis in the past few decades. How often is federal aid repeated year after year in the Keys and the Outer Banks?

I don't have the dollar figures, but I suspect CA is not at the top of the federal aid list either.
@OP - The term Calexit is nothing more than hype. Did you actually read the story?

A bunch of fucktards in California want to change some wording in their state constitution to potentially allow for secession. Its a childish effort to make a point. The Texas and Oklahoma movements to secede were just as foolish.

The time and money would be much better spent contacting one of the wonderful ladies of ECCIE but that's just one monger's opinion.

WHICH IS WHY i still can't understand why no one in charge, has thought// "GEE lets put in pipelines, so when state X gets lots of heavy flooding rain, we can THEN PUMP THE EXCESS to CA/NM/AX/UT etc, to try and get rid of the bloody drought??

And California's initiative is merely more government conspiracy?
