> As a simple example, who is standing up for the LA fire chief?

Why should anyone stand up for her? She is doing an objectively bad job. If you’re the fire chief and your entire city burns down, you will rightly catch flak for it. You had one job.




> Why should anyone stand up for her?

Because people are attacking her sexuality, not her job performance.

I don't know anyone who thinks the LAFD could have prevented this problem. Maybe they should be given ultimate power over zoning!
