Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

Why was there no water in the reservoir? 100 million gallons—closed for maintenance??

Not enough planning ahead for this happening. Not ANY planning ahead for it. Budget cutting for firefighting in CA is the most shortsighted thing EVER. Pro-active plans in place for a fire-prone state will help.

The story is that public services are underfunded because of leadership pandering to billionaires.

They should look to BC Canada on forestry health as a way of preventing fires... also i hear that there is water in northern CAthat does not make its way to southern CA

0.24 California is the largest state populationwise. Alaska and Texas are the two largest states landwise.
