    It’s shit, there’s no place around here that doesn’t smell of ash.

    The government is blaming arsonists and agriculture mistakes but I highly doubt it. It’s inevitable that we would have so many wildfires given the state of climate change and El Niño, but not nearly enough funding was given to fire protection. While the people are burning and losing their homes, the government is focused on Ukraine.
