The State of California
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2024 5:15 am
My Lord, what a frigging mess! The state has a budget deficit estimated at $78 billion, people are moving out in droves as the cost of living is much greater than in red states like Texas and Florida, they've taxed the crap out of the wealthy and businesses forcing them to move out, they have 1/3 of all the homeless people in the country, they have an unemployment rate twice that of the rest of the country, 7 out of the 12 largest insurance companies have decided not to offer and/or cancel home owners insurance policies, rampant crime is forcing businesses to leave the cities, and yet there's talk that their governor might run for POTUS someday.
Now, their governments are grasping for straws. San Francisco is talking about passing a law that any grocery store gives 6 months' notice of a closure, and the state wants to levy an exit tax on the millionaires who are moving out, a proposal which sounds to me to be unconstitutional. Boy, that's sure going to attract businesses.
Is it any wonder why a narcissistic moron like Donald Trump resonates with so many people when this type of politics is the alternative?
