Anyone who says there wasn’t enough water in the reservoirs to fight the California wildfires NEEDS to watch this & help stop misinformation. Can we please get back to uniting as a country when there are catastrophic disasters? Lying only disrupts efforts to help people in need.

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

While LA firefighters were running out of water…
Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night.
The question is: did he use public water for this?

Whoa (maybe automation is the better word🤔)
🌐📈 South Korea becomes the first nation to replace over 10% of its industrial workforce with robots.
Just imagine – 10% of the workforce already replaced and the trend is rising.
Korea is the first nation with such significant robot 'population'.
