Other states should look into headhunting California ex-cons for their fire departments.

Other states have similar rules. Firefighters try hard to make sure their sons are selected for the role.

Here’s some more news-Global warming is making said phenomenon worse.

Sure, the OP doesn't even acknowledge that context though, especially with their "solution".

She's a blatant Poe.

Isn't the whole idea of Poe's law that whether the speaker is serious or being satirical is far from blatant?
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

Here ya go! One loan for ten trillion dollars, due tomorrow at noon. If you fail to pay, you will never get to retire or do anything except slave away for the entirety of your waking hours.

Is this trolling or something? "Something is at work here" Yes, it's called seasons. Canada is not freezing in the summer, when fires happen. Surely you understand this much, correct?

Trolling would be my guess. I refuse to believe anyone can unironically believe that it's impossible for things to burn if there's ice and that being next to the coast means everything is fireproof, or that overwatering the lawns in cities means forests miles away where no one's watering anything are suddenly immune to fire.

Jebslund is a nation of kerbals ruled by Emperor Jebediah Kerman. We reject tyranny, believing that rights should be protected, though we also believe said rights end where the rights of others begin.
Shockingly, we *do* use NS stats, with the exception of lifespan.

Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism are ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. Stop conflating them with political systems.
