Basically the state attracts parasites because they know if they scream loud enough, the cowards here will give in and hand them a free lunch: a house on the beach, an unearned income, a posh do-nothing job at 90k a year (none of these examples are made up, and the people in the government here are basically no different from him).
The financial implosion of California is the result of massive handouts that amount to a giant ponzi scheme benefitting the worst of the worst. The game is now ending.
Jim Sikes is just one of millions who are about to find out they don't have the skills or the character to afford the lifestyle they think they're entitled to.
Bingo! Great post.
Calif is a capital of workmen’s comp scams. You are 100% correct that the game is ending in CA and grifters like Sikes are desparate.
Wasn’t the balloon boy clan from CA who wanted to be on Tv and they moved to Colorado. Sikes Prius was probably going to be repossesed. He was one grift after another. CA is the home of porn and has been for decades.
If you cannot make it in Hollywood there is always porn then prostitution then a state job or politics then scams then God knows what.
