That is a political opinion. I was (trying to) discuss the fires in LA without the politics getting involved, because politics are off topic here.

I have nothing against talking politics but we'd have to do that somewhere else like POLITICS, ALL-POLITICS, FIDONEWS or somewhere that such conversations are not off topic.

I do it to keep my yard looking good, not because it is a fire hazard.

If there was a fire hazard I would work that too, as I am sure people in LA do as well.
