Massive fire in downtown Los Angeles closed down portions of two major freeways Monday morning and could be seen for miles.

Excuse me ?
I saw an apartment building under construction, and thought the same thing. A huge pile of wood just waiting for a spark.
I thought construction of larger buildings (over 4 stories) was now structural steel, metal studs and light weight concrete. I guess not.
20% s/b ~35.5%
Assuming a population of 350,000,000:
350,000,000 * .85 = 297,500,000 * .355 = 105,612,500
350,000,000 * .15 = 52,500,000
Morals of the story: 1) Attrition will usually out; 2) Don't post half-asleep
A mere 20% of our 85% yields a 2:1 advantage over 100% of your 15%.

Twenty % or 1/5th OF eighty five % equals seventeen % against one hundred % of fifteen % which is fifteen %. Seventeen % is not twice as much as 15 %.
I agree with your rant -which isn’t a rant but logic and clarity. Only in today’s PC world would speaking the truth seem out of place -even to the speaker. So keep it up!
I haven’t checked out your links yet but will do so soon. Busy day doing domestic stuff -laundry, calls, and mostly, packing for our rebellious move. We’ll create our own gulch ;). Actually, where we’re going it will be a holler instead.
Signs need to go up: LOOTERS AND ARSONISTS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT!
We can look forward to him being president one day then, can’t we.
MLK.......Yes Martin Luther Kang Boulevard..
sort of a puny fire..../
thats VERY BIG inferno
Whoever started these fires is in big heap trouble... there will be hell to pay...
This is a LOT of CO2 and carbon and GlowBull warming will be making a quantum leap now in seriesness.
That is, hell to pay to Algore and Climate 10-Alarm-ists (or whatever number of Alarms this fire is).
Would that knowledge be available to the public? If not, sounds like maybe terrorism or a state like Russia. The Communist party supports Putin 100 percent, and there’s no reason to think the FSB ended their control of them.
Well, thanks.
I half-expected some here to attack me for commenting on the conservative split, which exists in multiple forms here at FR in particular.
Half of the time that I ‘write my mind’ I end up gettting abuse because my opinion differs from another’s (or ‘the clique/cabal’). I don’t mind a logical argument and will admit when I’m in left field, so-to-speak, but getting called names for disagreeing with the status quo is so ‘Alinsky-ish’, ya know? Last week I was ‘traitor’ and ‘treasonous’, among others. And I’m as blue as blue can be (I don’t agree with ABC/MSM changing the color scheme in 1979(?) and will never accede to that).
Take care.
“And Im as blue as blue can be (I dont agree with ABC/MSM changing the color scheme in 1979(?) and will never accede to that).”
They couldn’t handle having commie red be their color. Too close to the truth.
I expect more from ‘conservatives ‘ than to call names. Like you said, that is a lefty tactic. Separate and demoralize the offender. Although I think most times in this dumbed down society, it is done when they can’t articulate an intelligent argument.
Keep at it and ping me when you need a kind word to offset the nastiness ;)
“This is a LOT of CO2 and carbon and GlowBull warming will be making a quantum leap now in seriesness.”
LOL!
I guess keeping the costs down was one of the reasons the upper 6 floors were flammable wood frame construction.
