All true.
The fix, or even reducing this, is not just to elect a different bunch. A better approach is reducing the powers of government of whatever color.
Government- not just the politicians but the public sector, DeepState, the Establishment, the Infrastructure, the inner party, the Nomenclatura, many names, they should do what job descriptions and constitutions authorize them to do, and not more.

Ellsworth Toohey would be proud to be Californian.

Thanks for the post LP - We know that is the end result, but to have it all put together was good.

Political California virtue signaling only signals stupid for libtarded.

IMHO, the majority California electorate voted for this and they are getting what they voted for. Same thing for NYC about to elect a commie Muslim for their mayor. They will get what they voted for. One problem is those who did not vote for this will also pay the price of the collective idiocy.

I wonder just how many people outside of California actually know just what is playing out down there. MSM is still downplaying disaster after disaster, whether it's fiscal, environmental or criminal.
