Los Angeles Fires and DEI

Los Angeles is engulfed in wildfires, forcing even normally supremely comfortable Hollywood leftists to flee their homes. In this time of crisis, residents must be reassured to know there are competent people in control. Or maybe not.

Daniel Greenfield quotes from a KABC story that has since mysteriously disappeared:

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley is used to shattering glass ceilings. She isn’t just the first LGBTQ+ person to the lead the department, but also the first woman. …

Crowley is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and says the LAFD has come a long way in terms of inclusion adding there’s a ways to go. Crowley believes the more diverse the LAFD, the better the department is at serving a city as diverse as Los Angeles.

In other words, straight white males need not apply for jobs at the fire department, because the deck is stacked against them. This discriminates against most people who are good at fighting fires.

Crowley made her focus on DEI clear from the beginning:

“The LAFD is fully committed to creating positive change,” said Fire Chief Kristin Crowley. “With the new DEI Bureau, the Department will develop and drive forward key diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies and initiatives to enhance the LAFD’s work environment and performance. We will maximize our efforts to build and promote a culture where our diversity is truly valued [yadda yadda yadda].”

Good thing Crowley isn’t the only one in charge. Los Angeles has a mayor, after all. Oh wait:

Via Daily Mail:

Furious Los Angelenos have blasted their mayor for traveling to Ghana while the city burns, despite having ample warning about ‘critical’ weather conditions in the days before. …

To make matters worse, a litany of failures by LA city officials appear to be fueling the out-of-control blaze, which has forced tens of thousands of people to flee some of the city’s ritziest enclaves as homes and businesses burn to the ground.

Then there is this:

[Bass] cut nearly $20 million from the city’s budget for fire services for the current fiscal year — and proposed even higher cuts.

This frees up taxpayer money for more pressing concerns.

Don’t be too furious, Los Angelenos. You voted your way into this.
