SoCal Mountain Disaster: Newsom Seems Incompetent and Indifferent?
2023-03-09

Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Governor Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...the Mitt Romneyesque mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
’s incompetent response to the unprecedented winter storms that have buried mountain towns in both Northern and Southern California under more than a foot of snow has led to the deaths of at least three people in San Bernardino County, and those involved in volunteer search and rescue efforts believe that body count will climb.

While the area receives some snow every year and has snow plows and other snow removal equipment, it received a year’s worth (or more) of snow over a seven-day period. Newsom declared a State of Emergency the morning of March 2 just prior to jetting off for Cabo for the weekend, but the promised assistance from state officials still hasn’t arrived, for the most part — and that’s had deadly consequences.
And caught Covid in Messico
Longtime resident Susie Newman-Harrison, a private pilot affiliated with CalDART, a volunteer network of pilots who help during disasters, including this one, described the conditions on the morning of Tuesday, March 7:

#12  The people living in hillside San Bernadino county are mostly working class who can't afford to live in LA.

Newsom perhaps likes to see them suffer.

#11  Well, you see, apparently Newsom has the sniffles and tested positive with The Covid, so he's the real victim here. If you could just give him a week m'kay he will be right back on his policy road tour.

#9  Death toll now at 12 and expected to grow significantly. Some residents have gone 14 days without power or access to supplies.

#8  Southern California mountains get snow but it's highly unusual for them to get this much snow. Must be global warming. But, of course, we're still in a drought.

#4  Blame the battery-powered generators for lack of heat and battery-powered snowblowers for the exceptional street clearing.
On the serious side, saw a video dated 1 March where a Union Pacific freight engine was creeping through an intersection: seems to me if a locomotive could get there, some outside the box thinking could have put some freight cars behind it with supplies or a cut of passenger cars (UP has their heritage pax fleet all tuned up for season’s excursions) to evacuate those stranded.
