There is a degree of schadenfreude in seeing the CA state government in financial collapse. It demonstrates the utter incompetency of the socialists that control the state government. The lucrative welfare benefits are a major league draw to illegals and homeless. The great weather encourages the "urban outdoorsman" to come to southern CA. San Diego even spends a pile of the taxpayer's money to open "cold weather" shelters to keep the homeless comfortable and "in town". The poverty pimps don't want to encourage them to find nicer digs elsewhere.

What seems odd is that you would welcome it. You are living on the battlefield. All those people living on the dole are going to find an alternative means of survival if the state can't provide it. Insurrection and increased property crimes are a likely outcome. The illegals streaming in from Mexico aren't reading the papers. They are mostly illiterate. They don't understand the impending collapse. Los Angeles is ripe for some major league gang violence. Living on the government dole provides spare time for dealin' and stealin'.

Actually no. I am in a very good area, and have the means of going to a very remote alternate hideout if required. Got a big family and lots of support here. We intend to stay on the front lines. Being in the rear always bored me.

Somethings need to hit the brutal rock bottom before they ever get better. This is my tough love for Cal. That's why I welcome it. Bring it on.
