The biggest offenders of living off the state are in Redd states were actually paying for you to live

Volkaert or Fox?

 

And by ruin, I'm referring to them bringing failed policies that contributed to the very situation they are fleeing.

Just this week we read that cali has a massive (70B) deficit and a spending freeze due to it.

Them red states seem to have the financials in a better position.  Cali is way down the list of bond ratings.

Articulate what SALT deductions are and why Pelosi traded them for the child tax credit.

WTF! The Apple drones just standing around? A  couple of them could tackle him and  one of the women working there could run out to the cops that were just outside.

ETA:

Read the article. That was in Emeryville. That town is just north across the highway from downtown Oakland.  Just to the north  is Richmond,CA which until a few years ago  had a higher murder rate than Oakland.

Fortunately it won't matter in November what they do.

 

 

A week after primaries in California and they still haven't counted all the votes
American Thinker ^ | 12 Mar, 2024 | Monica Showalter

 

"Count all the votes!" as the lefties liked to say loudly.

That was their justification for mass mail-in ballots in California, ballot-harvesting by illegals, and extended voting for weeks and weeks. Election Day? No, election month. They said it was to expand the franchise to "marginalized communities" and raise turnout.

 

Curiously, turnout has now hit a near-record low in a presidential primary year as this Secretary of State supplied data makes clear. Before these new "innovations" were enacted, mostly in the era of COVID, it was not unusual to have turnout in such years in the 70% range. Today, they got ... 34%, just slightly above 2022's 33.2%, which wasn't a presidential primary election year.

 

Now we're onto the extended counting.

Count all the votes!

 

Except that they're not counting all the votes, they've got better things to do with their time than count ballots.

 

According to CalMatters:

The latest official tally from the Secretary of State’s office shows that more than 5.8 million ballots have been counted from California’s primary, with 1.7 million still to go.

 

Based on today’s updated umbers, the total of 7.5 million votes means a turnout of about 34%, well below the norm for presidential primaries, but not the record low that some analysts projected based on early numbers.

 

It also means that it’s going to be a while before some results are finalized, likely amplifying complaints that it takes too long to count votes in California. While voting by mail has been happening for a month, as long as ballots were postmarked by last Tuesday and they arrive at elections offices by this Tuesday, they will be counted. As expected, the votes being counted after primary day are trending more Democratic and younger.

THE REAL MINIMUM WAGE IS ALWAYS ZERO:  

 

California fast food workers stunned as restaurant closes without warning over $20 minimum wage:

 

‘Only the beginning’.

 

Economics are a science.

 

Trying to legislate natural laws breaks everything.

 

As well legislate the weather which to be fair they also want to do.

The point here: a state-wide minimum wage law is now a stupid thing.

$20/hour in Silicon Valley? I'm sure the going rate is higher, so the law has zero impact.

This fast food joint is in the Central Valley, which is kind of like an Appalachia in California. The going rate is much lower, and the new law will kill them.

I'm not in favor of minimum wage laws in general, but ignoring regional differences in a huge state like California is idiotic.

Fewer jobs, higher prices.  What could go wrong?

If they are stunned, then they are not too bright. Anyone with a brain saw this coming.
