As Los Angeles burns

As Los Angeles burns: As one side understands that fire hydrants failing to deliver the water needed to fight fires is a result of municipal incompetence, the other side engages in a rite of self-flagellation proclaiming that our sacrifice has not been sufficient to placate nature’s god. They ask forgiveness for their sin of emitting too much carbon dioxide and promise to repent by only doing their laundry when the sun is shining. Their position is all too silly to take seriously, but they point to their esteemed high priests who have studied the earth and the heavens and know better than you.
