As a tax payer, why would I want to send NY fire fighters 3,000 miles across the country?

You mean to tell me a neighboring state doesn't have qualified fire fighters?

BIG NO on this one!

 

[GOYABEAN]

Just another demorats scheme to let a few more million of illegal invaders into our Country

FDNY might throw off the diversity ratio, so they can only use the Mexicans for DEI compliance.

We. Are. Living. In. The. Clown. World. Era.
Prove me wrong.

My name is Bigfoot and it's getting really hard to give a fucking fuck anymore.

I come from a different era, I come from the common sense era. This clown-world stupid shit is fucking retarded and here we are.

The Democrats are why we can no longer have nice things. This isn't rocket science you know.

Why so many different threads started for the same incident? Hard to keep them all on track.

Because of the dipshit that posts just for the sake of posting.

They won’t except NYFD. That will help solve the problem a lot faster.
Not what they want.
They love this shit. Just as they fucked there own firefighters with budget cuts, staff cuts, no water,
Etc.
Truth is the LA firefighters (or any firefighters) would love the help just as NYFD accepted any help in our day in hell on 9/11. I pray if they do go there,
They better bring their own leadership.

I must be missing something. I can only find one other thread for this incident.
There's the original thread that's in the Clubhouse - Off Topic section and now this one.

I think the membership here usually does a good job of keeping the forum in good order.

I agree, management does a good job here. No issues with that.

Not a huge issue with my post, but this news was already posted in the California fire thread. Just easier to keep these topics in one thread, that's all.

The membership here, not just site staff, does a good job of keeping things in order. IMHO

Dupes or sort of dupes do happen from time to time though.

I spend time on arfcom and that place is a disaster when it comes to multiple threads on the same subject. That does get irritating to a degree. The board here at NYGF stays much more organized. And that of course is a good thing.

Sometimes it's a question of, whether a similar subject deserves its own thread.
Or should it tie into an existing thread? It's a judgment call. So, Meh.

Yes that’s it. That what I do. I just post for the sake of posting. I don’t really care what you think and if you don’t like it don’t read the post or post in it.
I feel if everything related to one incident goes under that thread much of it gets lost in the mix. I felt it was different enough to go in another thread if not a moderator can tell me differently or combine it. Since these threads don’t get combined into another one why would I stop? It was separated because it’s more political related than fire related so therefore different topic and root cause to me but some don’t have higher thought or make that discernment.

Yes and I feel this one is more politics than about the fire hence why I separated and posted it individually.

Los Angeles, California – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced additional international support from Mexico’s firefighting resources, increasing the already robust capacity of first responders on the ground. More than 70 firefighters and disaster relief workers from the National Forestry Commission and Ministry of Defense in Mexico today have arrived in Los Angeles to augment the capacity of local efforts.

Wow a whole 70 of them. I’m sure that will turn the tide on this fire. Maybe they chose to go with Mexico because the labor rate is cheaper and they don’t have to pay prevailing wages or something to that effect. I know California has been trying to get Mexico to stop dumping raw sewage into the ocean to get beaches cleaned up but I fail to see the connection so I don’t know. If it was Puerto Rico I’d say it’s payback and they owe us anyway but the USA always gives and never gets so that can’t be it.

Nah, they want the Mexican firefighters because they'll stick around and vote Democrat.

I figured these groups of people have had such bad publicity lately they figured they needed some good. Hard to want to deport them if the left says they saved the city, lives, and homes. This might just backfire and they still have little containment of the fire so time will tell. I also think they wanted the NYC offer to stay secret so they could say they are the only ones that wanted to help us look how great they are.

The LA mayor is a fucking moron. Maybe 3-4 days ago she was speaking about the fires... and speaking is a very loose term here. She was reading a prepared statement and actually read , "if you need assistance you can reach our at URL". A URL is website address. She didn't give the site, just said "URL". The media asked her many reasonable questions and she literally just stood there and didn't say anything at all. Not even BS political points. Nothing came out of her mouth at all.

As it turns out, DEI hiring isn't the best practice. For your mayors or your firefighters, or anything else for that matter.
