Economy and Climate Change

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Look at all the D-bag city officials and the boy king on TV right now. Self flagellating, breaking their arms patting themselves on the back for doing such a great job saving us all…makes you want to 🤢🤮
 
My wife was at Spectrum Costco today and she said she has never seen so many people at Costco. Worst part is that so many people were filling up gas, blocking cars from getting into Costco. I don't understand why people need to fill up a full tank. It's just one day of storm, and you're going to be HOME. You're not gonna drive somewhere for shelter.

For Costco on Technology Drive in Irvine, when the parking lot is a mess go park in front of PGA Super tour store (the golf store) and just walk over to Costco. There's a pedestrian walkway that you can use so you don't have to walk in the parking lot driveway.

On Costco parking lot side you will find lots of cars and angry drivers. Over by the golf store you'll find huge empty parking lot with crickets. For gas, there's a Shell gas station next to former Walmart (soon to be Bass Pro Shops).

Well, the problem yesterday wasn't that the parking lot was a mess. The problem was that Horizon, the street going into Costco (and the PGA Super Tour Store), was blocked by the cars waiting to fill up gas. That's how stupid people were yesterday. I still don't understand the mindset. Why the f do you need to fill up the full tank when you're going to leaving the freaking car at home in your garage and Monday will be just fine?

Went to Costco today and loved how little people there were. Gas line was non-existent

I concur. Unless you are filling up for the boat.

The LA Times and probably other media outlets were advising a full tank of gas as part of prepping for blackouts:

Charge your devices, including phones, laptops, and portable power banks. Put a flashlight, a pair of hard-soled shoes and a pair of eyeglasses by your bed. Fill up your car’s gas tank or charge its battery. Check the batteries in your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. Brainstorm a few meals you can throw together with what you have on hand that won’t require you to open your fridge or freezer. Break out a puzzle, board game or craft project.

lol, i'd rather them do that instead of running away to cancun
 
Like all media panic porn, this will end up another nothingburger…yum, yum😂😂😂😂🤪
Since I know @irvinehomeowner isn't big on handing out credit for correct predictions, I'd like to recognize morekaos for this prescient post.

On the other hand, it really was a disaster for those trying to leverage this perfectly normal weather event to bolster their climate crisis fear narrative. What usually happens after such a letdown is that next time a true disaster occurs, people don't bother listening or paying attention to the authorities, and they end up in more danger because they ignore evacuation orders. Too many false alarms and over-hyped weather events can actually lead to more deaths and human suffering over the long run.

false alarm as in doing nothing, tell that to the folks in maui?
 
On that we can agree…a failed and incompetent government administration is to blame…(in the pursuit of Unicorns and rainbows)😢

A State Official Refused To Release Water For West Maui Fires


The fight over water is nothing new on Maui. But the impact on the county's ability to battle fires is coming clear.

With wildfires ravaging West Maui on Aug. 8, a state water official delayed the release of water that landowners wanted to help protect their property from fires. The water standoff played out over much of the day and the water didn’t come until too late.

The dispute involved the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ water resource management division and West Maui Land Co., which manages agricultural and residential subdivisions in West Maui as well as Launiupoko Irrigation Co., Launiupoko Water Co., Olowalu Water Co. and Ha’iku Town Water Association.

DLNR delayed releasing water requested by West Maui Land Co. to help prevent the spread of fire, sources familiar with the situation said.
