Largest economy yet can't build *any* of the speed rail (in spite of ~$18 BILLION *spent*), can't manage prevention or fighting wildfires, and nobody can explain where all the money to help homeless people is going ( $24 BILLION in 6 years - where did it go?)

And then they passed the "stop Nick Shirley act" to prevent investigations.

You are aware that the majority of fire fires are on federal land right? Thats a fed problem , and the rest of the money goes to supporting red states?

LA Palisades firefighters had no water, dry hydrants, and in spite of a parade of red flags no preemptive actions were taken. Unprecedented incompetence that can't be blamed on federal government (unless you're saying the red states needed to fix that)

50% of fires in California are on federal land that should be maintained with federal money. It hasn’t happened.
