Democrats have turned the once Golden State into a sh*thole

California's Economic Forecast is Dismal

Despite so-called “progressives” promising their policies will create a Soviet-style worker’s paradise, California’s leftist Democrats have turned the once Golden State into a sh*thole through decades of leftist policies penalizing and demonizing employers, businesses, property owners, innovators, entrepreneurs—and really, anyone who wants to work hard and get ahead. These hard working people are responding by fleeing liberal California for conservative red states.

The perception across America is that California is the state people are leaving. And that perception is accurate.

Along with Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta**, DC, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, and Portland.

** - needs a second coming of Sherman for the current slaveholder population.

One thing that HAS worked, I must admit, is pollution control. When I moved here, the air pollution was as bad as Los Angeles and there were 20 to 30 days when a brown pall hung over Silicon Valley and you couldn't see across the bay. Today, that is extremely rare and we usually have very clean air.

And that was because of Ronald Reagan and the catalytic converter.

I prefer Detroit. They already hit bottom. California still has a ways to go before they bounce off the rocks.

They're almost there. Wait until they require english as a second language for conditions of employment.

Those cities almost need a Patton, Rommel or Zhukov! Or Curtis LeMay!

““And Detroit, also”

I prefer Detroit. They already hit bottom. California still has a ways to go before they bounce off the rocks.”

And Michigan is a fairly sane state.

Here in MA toll takers were pulling 70G a year before they became obsolete a few years ago.
And that is before the “benefits”.
It is said toll takers went to work weighing 170 pounds and went home weighing 195 pounds.
Now the are chilling out in their vacation homes on the Cape retired at the age of 45...
I imagine they make even more in states like CA and IL.

What these rat democrat bastards have done to that once magnificent state is akin to vandalizing the Cistine Chapel or the Louvre.

Before I moved to Ca in the 70s, someone told me after you say it has great weather, there is not much in its favor. When I settled there, I agreed with the weather aspect but the state had a lot to offer besides the weather. Frankly I thought it was paradise. By the mid 80s, I began to see the slide. I finally had it in the early 90s and moved to Texas.

We have been back to visit almost every other year and notice that what I had seen as slippage in the 90s has become an off the cliff drop albeit the weather is still great!

The middle class.

That’s who they are getting rid of in California, and it’s on purpose.

They are importing illegal aliens, and declaring the entire state a sanctuary state. Plus, Governor Moonbeam let several illegal aliens out of prison recently, just because. The end goal appears to be to turn CA into a third world, crime-infested dunghole, with a few elite liberals ruling over it all.

Zuckerberg is busy buying up the houses of the people who deign to live close to him. He and his elite buddies are happy to see the riff-raff take a hike.

Solutions? Anyone? I’m tired of reading complaints without solutions.
What about fighting back? How?
