“It’s now illegal in California to shower and do laundry on the same day,” my husband read out loud to me a few weeks ago.
“How are they going to police that?” I wondered.
“It doesn’t matter,” he replied. “California is so out of touch with reality that it just doesn’t matter anymore.”
It saddens me to watch my former home state implode, but that’s precisely what is happening. California has been called the world’s largest insane asylum, and as headline piles upon headline illustrating the latest madness, the description seems apt.
It’s no wonder people are fleeing the Golden State in droves. What is the incentive to stay when taxes are sky-high, regulations are draconian and capricious, crime is rampant, infrastructure is crumbling, and politicians are so out of touch with reality they think they can make it illegal to shower and do laundry on the same day?
Housing prices, of course, are famously irrational. In Sunnyvale, a modest 848-square-foot home on a tiny lot gained national notoriety for its selling price. “After being listed in March for $1.45 million, it sold within 48 hours for $2 million, or $2,358 per square foot,” noted ZeroHedge. “With Sunnyvale’s 1.25 percent property tax, the new owners are paying $2,083 per month, or $250,000 every 10 years.”
It’s more than just the insane cost of living in the state. Many people are also fleeing the insane policies. Entrepreneur and venture capitalist Peter Thiel (a co-founder of PayPal and an early Facebook investor) says it’s one thing for a culture to be “quite liberal” and another for it to be “totalitarian.” Dissenting opinions are not permitted. If you don’t believe me, walk onto any California college campus with a MAGA hat and see how long you last.

You are all right; California’s laws aggravate California’s own lack of rainfall.
“It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?”
Land of the aliens (the little green
ones)....
Well, like I said, getting rid of Los Angeles and San Francisco ain't going to happen! Pie in the sky.
Of course I never wrote anything about “getting rid of Los Angeles and San Francisco.” On the other hand, there’s been no court ruling against it, as of yet.

May you can explain what is the difference is between, "Taking out LA and SF" and Getting rid of LA and SF?
I'm not sure what YOU meant by “Getting rid of LA and SF,” but presumably it would mean a political separation by creating new states or territories out of those cities, or perhaps more drastic measures like thermonuclear annihilation. For the record I'm not in favor of either of those two options.
Of course I never wrote anything about “getting rid of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Of course you did! It's right here!
It's what I'm talking about and what you stated...Getting rid of, taking out the voters, or ignoring the voter rolls in LA and SF ain't going to happen, ever.
So why bother providing voting scenarios which completely ignores, omits and or "Takes out" or "Gets rid of", both the states major population centers?
Not happening.☺

So in the real world, how do we simply omit these population centers? And again, if it's never going to happen, why bother even mentioning it? Comments like yours are pie in the sky from my perspective.
It falls into the sea after an earthquake. All but the state's mountainous eastern edge. Then gold is discovered there and everything starts up all over again.
Reagan and his 1966 race for governor play a big role in the book. Gentry didn't like Reagan much.
Too late. Some judge just declared that, despite the citizens voting to put the division on the ballot,———Too bad. “F” the voters. Judges know better. Oh, well. Won’t be the first time or the last that Cali voters have had it shoved......where the sun don’t shine.
Comments like mine are exactly like saying “if you took out California then Trump won the popular vote,” which have been posted here many times by numerous people. They are readily understood to address the fact that different in areas, whether within one state or nationwide, people do not vote evenly across party lines. They are not proposals for any sort of action in regards to any subdivision of political entities, or even throwing out ballots. This is much too silly a conversation for a reasonable person such as yourself to keep flogging.

If you took out the voting dead, and the illegal alien vote, Trump wom the popular vote in a big way.

Better not let dragnet2 see that post!
.
Why?
He seems to take it literally as if somehow I was suggesting those cities be removed form California. Like your post to me, I think the meaning was very clear.
Your words. Tell me pubbie, when will this happen? And is that more likely to happen than CA eventually being divided by a vote?
If ya took out the major population centers in most states wouldn't the same likely occur?
I'm not sure what your point ever was. I said it was likely the state would be divided at some point. And the chances of that happening would be much greater than what you suggested when ya said "If ya take out SF and LA it would be a republican majority".
Did you not dispute this? And since LA and SF are going no where, what in hell is your point?
