CHRISTIAN TOTO: Adam Carolla’s DEI Firefighter Story Goes Viral. “I graduated North Hollywood High with a 1.7 GPA and could not find a job. I walked to a fire station.

Do you think they’re going to rush in and permit exact rebuilding promptly when there’s all sorts of acreage now available for low-income, high-density housing?”
