We suffer 'devastating' droughts, but we want to build "bullet trains" that are billions over budget, so far, and it ain't even near done yet!
But we still fail to take the logical route of building MORE F*#KING WATER STORAGE!!!!
This is actually approaching insanity.
We actually hired Eric Holder to 'defend' the State from illegal immigration prosecution and fuking Global Warming initiatives that Trump maybe will take, but we ignore our obvious water issues.
California is not the California I grew up in anymore. I despise the people that have ruined us.
Who's to blame? All the a-holes that come here and bring their rotten politics with them. I don't really hate you, but why you gotta change a good thing?
We were fine before you showed up.

Bruce, it's progressives with ideology that trumps sanity. It's people that feel more than they think.
Liberals.
That's as simply as I can put it. I have lived here most of my life, with a few overseas stints. Always came home to a different Ca. I loved.
Used to be an aggressively independent State, but a Red State. LA and SF attracted the scum, and we coddled them.
Sad.

I know, Rick. Most real Californians have fled.
I'll stay and fight as long as I can, but it's getting bad. We're losing.
The State is almost forcing out business with all the regs. It's an unfriendly State to anyone but eco-Nazis and Global Warming freaks.
And illegal immigrants. That's who we'll replace the fleeing population with!
It's insanity.

you were against taxing oil in California, but both Texas and Alaska tax their oil production to help pay their bills. Move to Texas. Or Alaska.
Lets see. Texas has almost as much debt as California, yet has a smaller economy and it has income from oil taxes.
Or better yet, move to Arizona. They love trump here. They recently voted to sell land that the feds gave them that generated income for schools. The land was supposed to be held in trust and the trust could pay long term benefits which would be used to support schools. Yet because of short term thinking, and a rabid desire to not raise taxes, they are selling the land. Which means in 5 years they will not have the income from that property, and they also won't have the money. Real smart thinking those conservatives have.
You bet cha.. progressives suck...

"Almost forcing out business"? You gotta be kidding Blue. They're leaving in droves. The only problem with eagerly excepting these california businesses in neighboring states is that lots of their employees follow along with their ignorant progressive brainwashing.

I suspected that's the "you" that was being referred to.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but liberals have been in California since long before you were born. Not only that but they're not going away.
Sounds like it's time for you to pack up and head for Alabama or some sh#t.

Let's be real here. The big guys run this place, always have, always will.
In 2016, the state finally passed a law saying that ag workers can get overtime pay. The rest of us have been getting time and a half for decades, but not farm workers.
My parents just moved a business out of Temecula for Minden- electricity costs in the form of "demand charges" were a large part of the reason.
Too bad that commie government in Sacramento didn't regulate the prices like a good socialist should. Wait, they have that power at the PUC, but they ain't using it.
Cultural issues, yep, liberal, but economics is all about the big guys just like the rest of the country.

I was Born and raised in SoCal.
I paid $10k this month in taxes for a company that nets less than $40k annually.
This is the real reason California is dying.
The game plan of preying on small business has destroyed this state's most valuable resource.

I moved here from Idaho almost 40 years ago. I love it here. For a change, we have a pretty decent state government.
You should definitely move to Idaho. You will be very happy there. NOT Boise or Moscow. Those are liberal bastions. I suggest Challis. You would do well in Challis.
