Just when you think California’s stupidity, piss-poor management, and unicorn politics can’t possibly get any more absurd, a story like this drops—and your eyes practically roll out of your head.

As Los Angeles burns to the ground, the insurance industry crumbles, and water evaporates faster than you can say “H2O,” what’s the top priority in the land of fruits and nuts? Not the people losing their homes, of course—it’s a random herb called Braunton’s Milkvetch, a wild pea plant. Yes, you read that right. This plant is apparently so precious that an entire fire safety program was scrapped and reworked just to protect it from being crushed.

let’s check in on those herby peas, shall we?

Bad Hombre:

This is just how bad Democrat mismanagement is in California.

In 2019 Democrats HALTED a fire safety project in Pacific Palisades to replace wooden electric poles with steel ones, and the installation of wind and fire-resistant power lines.

Why? Because an “amateur botanist” complained that utility workers were trampling too many Braunton’s Milkvetch, a perennial herb in the pea family.

The plants the botanist was concerned about were destroyed by the recent wildfires anyway.

So yes, despite what the propagandists tell you, the extent of the damage was avoidable.
