Since last Tuesday, more than 40,000 acres have burned in five different fires, killing at least 24. The blazes have reduced homes, cars and power lines to ash, releasing toxic chemicals into the air that will eventually settle onto the soil.

What does the Washington Post think about Mike Johnson saying he will put "conditions" on funding for Cali fires? Does the editorial board plan to stand up to Bezos and do the right thing - demand funding for California? From an unsubscribe who would love for WaPo to find its roots.
Not explicitly increasing in toxicity, but it does increase potential of exposure. Harmful compounds volatilize and become airborne and can be inhaled, or simply become deposited all over. So you have the same harmful material spread now over a greater area in ways that increase ingestion potential

Since 2015:
#3 Texas received $2,173,613,809 in FEMA
#2 Louisiana received $2,440,034,579 in FEMA
And, the #1 shithole state to receive FEMA, while trying to deny others:
#1 Florida received $2,514,393,663 in FEMA
Are there differences in the toxicity based on it being burned?
Archeology in 3000 is gonna be a mess
It's all a big MAGA game to the Fox, Newsmax, TwitterX crowd.
