Mud slides, wildfires, mud slides, wildfires, mud slides, .... Do we really need CA?
Huh? The last time I looked, the owner/operator of this web site lives in Fresno, California.
Tell me how many times we all have paid for homes and property rebuilt over and over in flood prone states, and of course you questioned if really needed those states then............right?
As far as I know, as F'd up as California's leadership is(and it's as bad as it gets), California has the largest economy in the United States, is the fifth largest economy in the world and still as do some other states too, pay more into the federal government then they receive.
If you are gonna gripe about the cost of California's disasters just make sure you make the same gripe about the other states too!
