As a fellow Californian, I agree!! And would agree no matter where I live. It is just more painful here as it is my state.
We’re in agreement there.
What bothers me the most, is that this state is one of the most special places on earth.
The potential for this state is unimaginable.
Even being as big a pig stye as it is right now politically, it’s still chugging along as the 5th or 6th global economy.
We have the option to desalinate. We have plenty of fertile land.
We could be so much more.
