These People are Now Poors, so F’them.
I got some Corporations that I need to provide Corporate Welfare, that’s a better use of the money.
I guess I’m expecting too much from a bloodless, soulless ghoul like Zinke to even approximate something like sympathy.
“…like a Cone of Silence for the office or first-class upgrades for my wife’s private travel”, Zinke continued.
“There’s a lot of things I’d rather spend this federal money on rather than repairing damage of things that have been destroyed,” Mostly I’d like to spend it on ME. My office needs another update, I need a private jet as a public official. Why the heck should I spend public money on the PUBLIC?
this guy’s as warm as the fires.
Zinke: Now excuse me i gotta take another 30 days off.
What a fucking rakist…
The thing that keeps getting missed in these stories is that they start as woodland fires and then turn into built infrastructure fires. (Houses catching other houses on fire.) Forest management is one piece, but how buildings are rebuilt is going to be critical now that hot, dry, windy autumns seem to be the new normal. There were green trees next to totally burned out houses. Same thing in the Santa Rosa fires.
‘A Lot Of Things I’d Rather Spend This Federal Money On’
Like private jets and fancy hotels and restaurants for him as his wife… heel he would pocket the money if they let him.
California lawmakers earlier this year approved $1 billion in funding over the next five years for forest clearing operations.
How does forest clearing operations tie into litigation from environmentalists? I’m just not seeing the connection other than the fact that no one in the regime wants to pay for this and will pick up any excuse as necessary.
Environmentalists will not be opposed to thinning the forests. It is how that thinning is done and by whom. They would think that cutting down all the trees is not a good idea to prevent forest fires, although it is a way that would work.
Zinke would probably like to get rid of the trees. After all, those darn things get in the way of building lots of houses or big box stores.
Didn’t realize the cabinet job application had gotten so short:
Are you an asshole?
a) Yes
b) No
Zinke is being a good Trumper. Everything is transactional and it’s all about the money.
We can all agree with you, Mr. Secretary. Unfortunately, we have no choice here.
But how do we know this isn’t the one area where a crack team of Finnish rakers had swept through?
There’s a lot of things I’d rather spend Federal Money on than Zinke’s salary.
That’s easy. Because it burned.
Perdue suggested donating timber from the nearby Plumas National Forest to rebuild Paradise.
By all means, let’s cut down another forest…
