“Tax CA residents for energy use and give the $$$$ back to them?
What could go wrong with that?”
I know you meant to apply sarc/ at the end of your comment. But, to answer your question; nothing could go wrong if you believe in socialist style redistribution laced with crony capitalism.
Between immigration, energy and employment policy CA is turning their citizens (whether they like it or now) into ideal global citizens.
Soon the rest of the country and China will follow CA
They must feel smug at night.
