        “Also, leaves — when you have years of leaves — dried leaves — on the ground, it just sets it up. It’s really a fuel for a fire. So they have to do something about it.”

        And apparently leafs aren’t bio-degradable and they just sit there and pile up until they catch fire.

        Sometimes I forget how fucking monumentally stupid he is. He has the mind of a god damn child because he never grew up.

          Most kids know that leaves decompose. Don’t give him an out like that, he had every opportunity over his 70+ years to improve as a human and has failed at every turn. If you dehydrated his body and ground him to dust, then reduced that dust to its component elements, you’d probably have to sell them at a discount after disclosing their origin. He is, in my opinion, worth less than the sum of his parts.

            Decomposition happens at different rates in different climates. The leaves is an exaggeration, it’s more like fallen wood that is the problem, but in essence he is absolutely correct. It’s called fuel load.

          This is TRUE. I am an ecologist. We need to remove trees, actively do prescribed burns, to prevent catastrophic fires. I know you hate Trump (I do too), but this is absolutely correct. It’s called fuel load.
