I dunno... Biden standing next to Newsom... It's kind of a wash. I don't know which one makes the other look better. It's like trying to measure two piles of shit...

I don't think it is. I think it's due in large part to Democrat and Leftist mismanagement of California for decades though.

There's a recognition among forest management experts and scientists that past policies focusing on fire suppression have indeed contributed to the current situation by allowing an unnatural buildup of forest fuels.
The U.S. Forest Service and other agencies have acknowledged the need for better forest management, including more proactive approaches like prescribed burns and mechanical thinning, but they also face challenges in implementation, including legal and bureaucratic hurdles.

- The appointment of Kristin Crowley as the first female and openly LGBTQ+ Fire Chief in January 2022 has been a significant move towards diversity at the leadership level. Under her leadership, efforts have been made to increase diversity among applicants; for instance, in 2022, 70% of the more than 6,500 applicants were people of color, and nearly 8% were women.
