California voters are insane. You've lost the plot if you think Karen Bass deserves another term or Gavin Newsom did a good job. Spending $37B on homelessness and it just gets worse. That's 200K a head. You could literally buy each of them a house in the bible belt and still have money left over. Stop spending more. It's getting grifted by builders, charities and administrators. Voters wanted a high speed train from LA to SF. Passed a bill for $33B in 2008. 18 years later, ZERO miles built. $13B spent. New budget $231B. Japan built theirs in 1964. China has laid 28,000 miles of track since. WE STILL HAVE NO TRAIN. How are we this incompetent? Where is the money? You pay the highest income tax in the country. Gas is $2 over the national average. Electricity is double. That's not iran bud. LOL. That's your wasted tax dollars and failed policies at work. Can't even get PG&E to fix their powerlines so more homes don't burn down. 1.5M+ ppl have left the state since 2020. More than the city of Seattle. The state lost a House seat for the first time in 171 years. Chevron was founded here in 1879. Packed up for Houston. Tesla left. Oracle left. SpaceX left. In-N-Out closed its first store in 75 years of business. Oakland. Workers couldn't get to their jobs without being looted or harassed. Gunshots through the dining room and they called it quits. Tourists can't stop at IHOP on the way from SFO without getting their windshield smashed. But ya, everything is OK. Trust us. You decriminalized drugs. Now SF has 635 dying of overdose and 35 from murder. Your answer is more drugs. Keep the cartel in business. Lets make sure there are needles and zombies everywhere, that will keep those darn kids off the street. And then the fraud. Highest taxes in the country, highest fraud in the country. EDD lost $32B to COVID fraud. A third of the entire country's fraud, out of one state. Checks went to inmates. Someone called Mr Poopy Pants got paid. Nobody went to jail. Stop paying for homelessness, fraud and drugs. Take that money and BUILD. Focus on wildfire prevention. It doesn't take a genius to see the stuff over the last 20 years. Refill reservoirs. Build desalination plants. Cover waterways. Capture runoff. Staff up the fire department. But nah that's too rational. Long live socialism. Saudi Arabia didn't have water. They built stuff. You don't have water and you get some high school dropout with a humanities degree to research if building a plant hurts someone's feelings. California can no longer build ANYTHING. Syria builds faster than this failed state. 16,000 homes gone in the fires. One year later, 12 rebuilt. Actuaries won't price insurance. Carriers are leaving the state. Geico is probably cheaper in Iraq. Bass funnels to her husband. Newsom funnels to his wife. The billionaires whose taxes pay for all of it get blamed. The homeowners who lost their houses get blamed. Climate gets blamed. Then Spencer Pratt runs for mayor and you call HIM crazy for having no experience and living in a hotel. Look at the receipts and tell me who's crazy. You'll do it again in June and wonder why nothing changes. Nothing changes because you don't change. MAYBE STOP VOTING FOR A SINGLE PARTY DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST DICTATORSHIP AND YOUR STATE CAN GET BETTER. Good luck out there. You'll need it.
