California incompetence

Reason: "Fires Incinerated the Facade of California Governing Competence - Virtue-signaling is no substitute for disaster preparedness."

Just amazing:
California voters in 2014 passed Proposition 1, the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act, which authorized $7.12 billion in bond issues; it's one of eight water-related bond-issue propositions passed so far in the 21st century. A full $2.7 billion of Prop. 1 was earmarked for "new water storage" projects, to do stuff like capture more snowmelt and rainwater in the state's sporadic heavy-precipitation winters (such as 2022–23 and 2023–24).

So how many of those water storage projects have been built? Zero.
Ten years to build a big swimming pool and they couldn't get it done.
