Done on purpose for eco terrorism reasons

Fires are increasing in order to get more to believe in climate change, and accept a lower standard of living.

Another fire that happened to start in a dozen places at the same time.

I would also suspect Russian operatives except that would make the news. The establishment news is being very tight lipped about how everything points to terrorism. That indicates that this is organized at the top.

Climate change is real. We do not need to accept a lower standard of living to solve it.

If we use electric cars instead of gasoline powered ones and get our energy from solar panels instead of coal fired power plants, the problem would solve itself.

The "Man" doesn't want you to eat beef so he did something about it. Young people are fucked.

There are more cows per acre in Florida. We'll be fine.

Bullshit. No way 85% of Texas cattle are in the panhandle.

Another source says even higher: 88%.....

The majority–88 percent–of Texas’ total cattle and calves on feed are in the Panhandle.

I don't know how the phrase "on feed" affects this number.

Generally speaking industries like farming don't spontaneously show up everywhere. What happens is when a neighbor or friend tries a business that is successful everyone tries to copy it. Also, the successful person expands. What you get with husbandry is an attempt to expand as much and as fast as possible, and clusters of the same animal/crop.

So it is not only possible, but probable. That is, however, just Texas. That effect is not about state lines so that "cell" probably goes into new Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.

The cattle have been moved, they will graze somewhere else or have hay brought to them. It is not a threat to the food supply.

Cattle are damn near everywhere in Texas.

Anyone else find the color of the smoke suspicious?
