Anybody have an opinion on Why all the San Franciscan/Oaklanders took all the top jobs? and I don’t think it is because of the Hispanic vote or Maldonado would have won.

I’m thinking it might have something to do with the Prop 19/Legalize Marijuana vote, heavily popular in the 60’s culture up there. Any thoughts?

Hell no to a bailout. As my late mother would say, the way you make your bed is how you lay in it. California has “made its bed” the way it wants; if the bed gets wrinkled, it’s up to them to straighten it out.

I left California in 2001; even then, the trends were evident. I've always predicted the State will end up as one gigantic park - with every resident unemployed, and sleeping on a park bench.

No ill-will intended to California Freepers, but (now that your neighbors have put 'Cadaver Head' back in the governors mansion), the sooner the State hits the bankruptcy skids the better...

GOP controls the House, and thus the funding. There will be no bailout for California, nor any other state, company, industry. No more bailouts, period. Are you listening GOP? Anyone that votes pro bailout will be thrown-out in 2012, regardless of party affiliation.

California also failed prop 23, that would have suspended the job killing energy bill of prop.32.
I received an e-mail today of all the jobs leaving California there are many, tried to post here but the list did not show in order but spread out.
Tried the word wrap, looked good until I previewed but then reverted back,
sorry, if anyone would like me to send it to you privately I will if you would like to post it.

I’m surprised they don’t have 100% non-celebrities living on welfare. All normal humans need to get out of that state immediately. They need an mass eastern migration asap.

Yes, I’d like to see that. Don’t guarantee that I can post it though.

Thanks ahead.

During the huge boom my company was building several plants throughout the country. We built a new one in Norfolk, and one in rural Pennsylvania, and had plants planned in Tampa, Florida, and one in Stockton, California. I knew building one in California was stupid from the get go, and really questioned the wisdom of it.

Of course, the economy crashed before the California and Florida plants began construction, but I can say the California one had already cost more than the entire construction and startup of the plant just built in Pennsylvania, due to endless permits, and studies.

We are a non-union company, so the unions in california had already begun a flurry of environmental lawsuits. The steam stack at the end of our kiln was mandated to be 300 feet tall with ridiculous polution control (typically they are like 30 feet...its just steam). Funny thing was, Stockton was not a bastion of economic prosperity even during the boom years, but it seemed California and especially the unions were throwing the kitchen sink seemingly in an effort to obstruct the construction of this plant (which would have added a couple hundred manufacturing, engineering, IT, and management jobs).

The Florida plant will most likely be built when the economy starts to turn around, I see it still on the books. I think the California plant (thankfully) is dead. Which is a bummer, because it would have been nice to work on a plant for an extended period that didn’t require plane flights across the country from Reno.

Kalifornia is the cereal state: fruits, nuts and flakes.

There will be no bailout for California

Unless the porker Jerry Lewis gets a major House committee chairmanship.

The water crisis in the Delta will continue.
If a foreign power wanted to slowly take over the U.S. piece by piece, what would they be doing that’s different from what the Donkeys (a.k.a. Soroscrats) are doing?
