People are Getting Crazier in California
I don't know about other parts of the nation. But, we were just talking about this in the office today. My life is spent commuting, working, and spending time with my family. I'm seeing things on my commute the past month or so that are really mindblowing. I think it must be a reflection of something affecting people. Just this morning there was a five car pileup in front of my office. 35 mph speed limit, no stop sights, no speed bumps, straight shot, two lanes...no reason for cars to run into each other. Yet, there it was. Almost no traffic at the time, very early in the morning. I've had a drunk stagger in front of my truck at 6:30 am, almost getting killed. I've seen multiple people passed out on drugs or booze with their legs out in the street and their upper bodies sprawled on the sidewalks. Lots of tents and boxes people sleep in almost anywhere they can place one - freeway cloverleafs, alleys, parks, creeks. I have seen multiple massive crashes lately - probably 5 in the past week - where somebody runs a red light doing at least 50 and just turns their car into a yard sale - often with bad injuries. I'm guessing people are either passing out or just playing with their phones. I'm seeing accidents like this almost every single day, sometimes a couple per day.
There's got to be something going on, right? My coworkers notice it too. Just this past week we've got stories of close calls on our commutes. Any theories on what it could be? I can't imagine. Perhaps it's just coincidence.

Its the beauty I suppose that keeps people living there. What other reason is there? Taxes are high, regulations are through the roof, and its filled with collectivists everywhere you turn.
I would like to see statistics from a someone just reporting the facts. The MSM seems to promote violence to encourage gun control.
I just want the facts.
I call it MTV driving, where nothing is planned, but most driving decisions are done at the last second to get the 'best deal" in real time. The result is chaos with cars changing lanes all the way across the 3 lane road, speeding through traffic lights, and other last minute decision making.
People seem to want to get in front of you all the time, encouraging "turf protection" as a major goal.
Also, people dont leave enough space between cars to give one a chance to prevent an accident. Its as if they expect there to be accidents and if you follow very closely at least you wont hit the car in front at a high relative velocity.
Lack of planning, in my opinion, is the real cause of this. They just aim their cars, instead of driving them.
Dr. Zhivago comes back to his family home after being forced to be a doctor for communist partisans for the last several years and he finds that his father and sister are living in an upstairs room and the house is full of "workers". There is a Commissar there who gives him a ration o crap about how the house was totally enormous and that's why the government moved all those people in there. and Doctor Zhivago, having worked with communist partisans for many years knows the right thing to say... He says... "Yes it is much more just that all these people are living here. "
Of course the doctor is just trying to survive the encounter and the mob is actually ready to pounce on him and a distant cousin shows up who is a bigger commissar than the one in the house. He snaps his fingers, shows his red book and the mob immediately vanishes. Because of course, even though all the farm animals are equal..."Some are more equal than others"!. A very instructive movie.
Coloradans also seem to fail to grasp how four wheel drive works, speeding like maniacs on icy roads. I counted six four wheel drive pickups upside down in the median on the way to work one day.
Send the California crazies to Colorado, where they'll feel right at home.
It's on the increase for two reasons: 1, the sun, we are not getting the electrical interaction with sunspots which keeps our ionosphere active, thereby protecting us from cosmic radiation. 2, A weakened magnetic shield, (down 25%) likely caused by magnetic pole excursions...in other words...they are on the move and moving toward each other.
We also have, as you have observed, people having sex on their cell phones; (it might as well be sex) Why else would you stop paying attention to where they are driving?
Put all these factors together; what does it spell?...People are not aware, (conscious) of their own behavior...everything is fluid and relative. They have devolved back into the nonconscious bicameral brain as a result of the post modern society where nothing matters so long as it feels good...until you get hurt!
Then of course, it's someone else's fault!
I lived in California for 4 years in the late 70's, they were crazy then too...always ready for a party...I thought at the time,..maybe it's the constant danger of waking up in the ocean with out a paddle. (earthquakes, (The Big one), mud slides, forest fires or alien invasions).
Connecticut SUCKS...but not as bad as California.
So that's what Malibu looks like. Me dino visited Kalifornia a couple of time during the 70ss but never saw Malibu.
Yes, I can see now that there's enough sandy areas to provide a wonderful litter box for the homeless.
