Socialism is the only path out of the global ecological crisis.
>7/30 10 a.m. Update: Multi-mission Aircraft mapped the fire at 1,820 acres. Due to the proximity to critical infrastructure and communities, this fire has been prioritized and has great support from state and local cooperators. A complex incident management team will be arriving tomorrow night. Fire has not crossed Highway 34.
Reading inciweb reports is always so frustrating. Why the fuck are we not using the military to scramble resources to fight fires that threaten critical infrastructure before they have several days to grow?!
i can understand some hesitance to enlist dumbass boots in any task that requires tact and precision
I can accept that. There's still no excuse for not having a ecology defense wing for nature lovers in the military who can be trusted to safely build fire lines, manage controlled burns, etc.
Especially stupid given that there are at least two major airbases within 100mi.
