But CA is the model state for the DNC.
Owning vacation property in a small east coast beach community, I needed work done to repair some storm damage. During 2021 and 2022, I was trying to line up workers to make some of the repairs. One contractor I was able to use complained to me it was really hard to get local workers, because many of the “boys” were spoiled by their unemployment payments, and really were not eager to work for a living again. This was in a state with a Republican governor.
