You are both wrong about this. Salmo you get misinformed by the legacy mainstream media. Streamer gets misinformed by the alternative media. I do not need any sources of information, it all gets revealed to me in visions and dreams, just like Rich G.

Fire trucks from Oregon underwent routine 15-minute safety checks in Sacramento, on I5 on their way to LA, rather than emissions tests. These checks were conducted to ensure the vehicles were mechanically sound and safe for use. No fire engines were turned away during these checks,and all necessary repairs were completed either on the same day or the following day. The safety checks helped ensure that the equipment, which does not regularly travel hundreds of miles at a time, was safe for the firefighters to use. So Streamer was wrong that they stopped in Sacramento for EMISSIONS testing and Salmo is wrong that they didn't even drive through Sacramento on their way to LA, which is absurd, since it's on I5 and also wrong that they didn't get tested at all.

Trump is of course wrong about where the river water comes from and coming down from Canada, the Klamath, the bay area, ect, however this is a small detail he is wrong about when he is right about the big picture which is that there is a lack of water in LA hydrants.

OK so my questions to you Salmo, on the big picture of the lack of water, are:

1) Why is the Santa Ynez Reservoir empty? This is the proximate reservoir to the Pacific Palisades and the reservoir’s absence likely contributed to some diminished pressure and dry hydrants in upper regions of the Palisades.

2) California Proposition 1, approved in 2014, taxed and allocated $2.7 billion for water storage projects, including new reservoirs. The initial timeframe for these projects was set by Proposition 1, which required that by January 1, 2022 all project proponents must have completed feasibility studies, released draft environmental documents for public review however, the actual construction and completion of the reservoirs have faced delays. For instance, the Willow Springs Water Bank Project is the only project in the LA area, aims to store up to 1 million acre-feet of water--it hasn't been built. As of January 2025 zero new reservoirs have been built, with critics arguing that the pace of construction is too slow, due to bureaucratic inertia, extensive planning, engineering and environmental review. So my question is why haven't any new reservoirs been built?

Basically just, why is the existing reservoir empty and why is the new reservoir that people voted for and paid taxes for not built? My answer is because democrats are terrible at governing but since you don't believe that, I'd like to hear your alternative explanation.
