and yet a california county has just imposed a mask mandate for healthcare facilities to run until march 2024 and there is zero mass uprising against stupidity. and doubtless all blue-run localities are watching eagerly to see how smoothly this will be accepted.

we ain't won nuthin' yet.

is anybody still living in Ca? I thought it would be empty by now.

Was listening to a streamer in CA who was talking about a couple years ago he had some good money and was looking to buy a house. He could have bought a modest house and lived okay outside of CA...but on a lark he decided to check out how many houses were on the market in CA for 100k. He said out of all of California...only two houses were on the market for 100k. One was a cabin that actually straddled a property line...so if the neighbors got a whim..you would have to move it. I asked if the other house was haunted.

Regardless...and this is my constant refrain. In LA they had valet parking at the Sizzler. That's an indicator.

100k that must be many years ago! I don't think you can buy anything more than a simpleton for 300k. Well, now that half CA has moved elsewhere, the prices should go down a bit. To be honest they could give me one for free I wouldn't want to move there.

Many addicts have to hit rock bottom before they realize they need help.

many addicts never realize they need help. many others don't want to kick the drug.

we are nowhere near injecting sufficient doses of common sense into the american public and, more importantly, the electorate.

90% will always be "senseless commons"

All tyrants know this. That's why they put the remaining 10% against the wall first.

It feels like weтАЩve all been shoved downhill and we are traveling terrifyingly fast. Like thereтАЩs no stopping the stupid.

a goodly amount. the problem is the impact on revenue. as in there is a LOT less than the state expected or budgeted for. And when the state can't pay people, or fix things ... more people leave.

"The department projected that California would collect $42 billion in October. But, as of Oct. 25, California collected just $18 billion."
