The firestorm continues to be in progress in Los Angeles, priorities at the beginning are saving of lives and property. The calamity in Los Angeles continues to be early within the state of affairs, ongoing, and never but below management, however some fundamental details could be established at this time limit.
- Janisse Quiñones PE (She/Her) is the CEO and Chief Engineer at Los Angeles Division of Water and Energy (LADWP).
- Janisse Quiñones was employed with a $750,000 Wage, almost twice that of her predecessor.
- LADWP operates ten main energetic reservoirs and over 107 smaller storage services, all of which create operational flexibility to steadiness water provides and buyer calls for.
- A key reservoir within the Pacific Palisades hearth was inoperable.
- A number of areas of the service space that Quinones oversees are a raging inferno and quick on water for firefighters.
Water for the LADWP Service Space comes from the next sources:
- 73% is bought water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) which is each an aqueduct to State Water Tasks in higher California and the Colorado River Aqueduct.
- 15% is water from the Los Angeles Aqueduct which is fed from water near the Nevada Border.
- 10% is native groundwater.
- 2% is recycled water.
LADWP Strategic Initiatives replicate Faith of Woke-ism
Now that a number of the fundamental details are established, the truth is that one of many largest city fires ever skilled within the U.S is in progress. It appears to be like like World Battle II-era firebombing in progress. The extreme water shortages, Battle on Dams, and ideological advantage signaling are well-known in Governor Newsom’s California. However Water and Energy are basically apolitical and primarily based on science, truth, and finest practices of civil engineering, right? A peek on the LADWP Strategic Initiatives refutes that luddite view. Listed below are the 4, strategic imperatives for LADWP:
- Main with Fairness
- Clear Power Future
- Resiliency and Reliability
- Our Sustainable Water Future
What do these pithy titles imply? They’re summary, avenue theater platitudes that disguise hard-core leftist retribution meant to break down and destroy current society. Individuals are useless and dying, and enormous swaths of Los Angeles are being destroyed due to this Faith of Woke-ism. This Faith couldn’t care much less about details, science, environment friendly supply of public companies, or actuality. Earlier this 12 months, Janisse appeared on a podcast with a title, “Why Fairness is Key to Fixing the Local weather Emergency w/ DWP CEO & Chief Engineer Janisse Quinones.” DEI hires should not centered on environment friendly supply of efficient companies to all of the Residents. Controlling these positions is one other alternative to weaponize authorities towards the Citizen for indignant retribution clothed in George Takai comfortable discuss.
As Scott Adams has identified, “Having the improper leaders with the improper priorities will get you all the pieces we’re witnessing this week”.
Pervasive Public Service Corruption in Los Angeles and California
I’m all for extremely paid Civil Servants. However, I consider within the Singapore Mannequin, by which Civil Servants are extremely paid, however in return are anticipated to carry out with absolute constancy, ship excellent outcomes, and will probably be held to account for his or her efficiency.
And in the event that they don’t meet these necessities, they get proven the door, or worse. Quiñones has had a meteoric rise. Now there’s a Biblical stage catastrophe below her watch. I’m not upset that Quiñones was capable of negotiate such a wholesome wage, however she must be held accountable, which additionally means a return of wage, fines, and potential prosecution.
If one has not been paying consideration, the Los Angeles area, below a Blue monoculture, has been a cesspool of Public Sector Corruption for many years. Even the New York Occasions will get it proper sometimes and says, “Prosecutors say that corruption is rising in California cities as one-party rule, inattentive voters and weakened information media have lowered the normal checks on energy”. Chinese language malign affect has been entrance and middle within the pervasive corruption of California:
“A Chinese language actual property firm was fined $4 million and positioned on 5 years probation (sic) Friday for bribing former Los Angeles Metropolis Councilman José Huizar with greater than $1.5 million in money, playing journeys and escorts in trade for the then-councilman’s assist of a deliberate downtown lodge undertaking.
Though he was additionally charged, Shen Zhen New World I’s billionaire proprietor Wei Huang fled to China after the fees had been introduced and has by no means appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom in reference to the case.”
The DEI Cult brings equal distress, demise, and destruction for all
Woke-ism and DEI should not about reconciliation, they’re about retribution and intentional collapse of society – Marxist and Maoist core tenets. Hosea 8:7 (KJV) is timeless in its steerage, “For they’ve sown the wind, they usually shall reap the whirlwind”.
That’s precisely what is occurring as Newsom was shifting into “Trump Proofing” California, no matter that meant. The outcomes of years of Blue, One Occasion is coming collectively in a cataclysm. When all the pieces is advantage signaling and the fundamentals of math, planning, civil engineering, and agnostic, non-politicized science-based choice making is taken into account a manifestation of privileged tradition, something goes. And when something goes, something goes and society collapses.
If Janisse Quiñones was capable of negotiate a $750,000 wage, good on her. However her focus has not been on the perfect supply of companies to the Residents. Along with her personal phrases, she is targeted on the improper issues. Pay could be nice for excellent leaders, however one has to take accountability for the dangerous in addition to the nice. $750,000 a 12 months introduced mediocrity and failure, and Janisse was the one holding the bag when the lights got here on and uncovered the corrupt nature of the Faith of Wokeness. Time for her, and others in California, to pay up.
