I used to think that when criseses get out of control the”authorities” will fix the situation. Not anymore. California especially has lost its validity of being a State that can prevent disasters from happening. What has happened is devolution into complete corruption of the system and moral conviction. The ultimate result is a hybrid system of a facade of government and quasi anarchy with no one having the courage to face it no less actually doing anything about solving anything. Truly an End of the Age scenario.
It’s really weird that we’re living in a hybrid form of “Escape from LA” and “Gattica.” I’d always thought these types of movies impossible. Often fairly lame. And here we are.
