most recent interesting news i heard was it being attributed to some fancy "DEI" term.

if anybody can give more clarity on what the fancy term is and how, if even, remotely it is to said disasters, i'd appreciate it a lot.

I believe the fancy "DEI term" is the N word, unfortunately.

Theory is that if only white firefighters were hired more, 100mph winds would be trivial conditions to fight fires in.

all these winds would be somehow scared of skin color!

surely not in my 2025 bingo card.

DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN (TM) to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!

Thanks for the clarification! Very well explained!
