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?
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 think it was because of illegals,liberals and those that do not wish to work. The mentality that government will take care of us. This mentality has been bred into a generation now and we are paying for it. America must stay a Republic and live by the Constitution if we wish to survive with a lifestyle we have had and we cant solve other nations problems now if we wish to solve our own.
One could analyze things at great length is response to your question, but there’s not much to be gained by overthinking it.
In the 60’s and early 70’s San Francisco & Berkeley culture was “quaint” or “cute” in its way... and existed in confined little petri dishes. SF hippies exulted in the city itself (which as you may or may not know is a TINY city of ~~~600K inhabitants that you walk across in a long day) but a mere 45 miles down the peninsula was a gigantic, unfathomably rich and creative and productive computer and chip and hi-tech industry and aerospace web that might have been 5% of US GDP right there. That business/those businesses are still there, but massively reduced.
Over the 40 or years I have lived in CA, about half northern, and about half southern, the left just won out, by relentless, incremental erosion of what was once a rather conservative state EXCEPT FOR SF & Berk. Where there were once hippies, there are now hordes of illegals, one form of uselessness having been replaced by another. (Racist comment alert!!)
