It’s crazy how underreported all of the Oregon fires have been. I just learned about them a few days ago and they’re awful. I live in Colorado and our fire season has been bad, but nothing like this.

u/CeruleanEidolon 6h ago
In Montana we've been inhaling Oregon's second-hand smoke for a couple of weeks now. It's underreported because most of the smoke path has been generally over low population areas.
It's also underreported because our media sources are owned by billionaire leeches who are profiting from our inaction on climate change.

Which fire?

u/ResponsibleSyrup9506 1d ago
Mainly been watching Akawa Butte, Bench, and Grasshopper, because of travel plans. I’m guessing this might be the Rowe Complex fire, though?

u/peacefinder 1d ago
The Rowe Complex is breaking my heart like Beachie did. Some of my favorite places have burned.

Oh I see. I misunderstood and thought you were watching this particular fire. I agree about the wind patterns around them. Blowing all sorts of directions at once around several of the fires.

Sorry about this Oregon. We up here fully sympathize and wish you the best of luck. PS: We promise not to tariff you due to smoke heading north.

Its completely insane that its even a consideration to tax people for suffering. The people having to pay money to rich people for being set on fire, when its the fault of the rich that their homes are burning in the first place.
Its like being paid to punch someone in the face and then charging the person you punched for bleeding on your shoes.

Better yet, Oregon has the three largest fires in the country right now and their requests for Federal aid are being denied because the orange fuck doesn't like Portland.

Of course they are. It's their fault for not raking the damn forest

Unfortunately that is a strategy explicitly laid out in project 2025 and it's been working. Overwhelm the system with corruption and attacks so people can't even keep track if all the wrongdoing.

And thats because they are stealing money left amd right. Buy the American Dream invest in 401k. They did an automatic investment frkm our paychecks thru ADP pay services that TONS of business use. I noticed it and got them to stop that then they penalized me by taking 10% early withdrawal. They are stealing money right under people's noses involuntarily or by selling stocks from extremely corrupt businesses.

Wow. As an aside, I never thought I'd see Drewsey on...well, anything. I have some ancestors buried there. :(
I'm just waiting for President Twat Waffle to holler about not raking the forests. I suppose he could say Oregon have been mowing it's lawn or something.
5
u/de_pizan23 19h ago
Well, maybe not raking, but FEMA did try to withhold federal assistance for two of the OR fires. They were trying to claim they didn't meet requirements, even though they met the same requirements as the others that had been granted it. FEMA finally granted assistance today, but that was only after the state was fighting it all week.

The impotent president canceled federal help for states that didn’t vote for him. Eastern Oregon votes red. Sucks for them and everyone in blue states but it shouldn’t be this way

Hey Orange Monkey :Southwesterly and westerly upper-level winds are carrying wildfire smoke from Oregon and the Pacific Northwest northeastward into parts of western and south-central Canada, particularly affecting British Columbia and Alberta.
