Dam removal on the Klamath river, 500 fucking miles away, which wasn't a resevoir for firefighters in Los Angeles and did not in any way contribute to the water shortage in Los Angeles, because again, it was 500 fucking miles away.

500 fucking miles away,

I'm actually surprised how few people point this out. I've literally seen people saying "all" the hydrants were dry because they wanted to save some fish. As if somehow the water needed (probably well north of millions of gallons) could magically be transported those 500 fucking miles.

And not to confuse the issue, because again, the Klamath River is not close enough to matter, but dams contribute to drought conditions.
