The Top Four Reasons California Is Unsustainable
Forbes ^ | Apr 19, 2018 | Thomas Del Beccaro

Posted on 11/10/2018 2:08:03 PM PST by RedMonqey

California is a place unlike any other on the Globe. It boasts perhaps the greatest natural resources of any state along with shining high-tech industries. However, like many good economic stories, government policies threaten its future.

Indeed, its government has made California unsustainable.

Of course, it wasn’t always this way. As the 1960s came to a close in California, it had a population of nearly twenty million. In the decade before, its economic strength afforded the construction of a vast State Water Project and higher education system that was the envy of the world. Matched with a majestic and trade friendly coastline, along with visionary business leaders, California’s future seemed secured.

Utter nonsense! CA is sustainable, since a RAT federal government will bail them out year after year.

A once beautiful state has been destroyed by Marxist Liberal politicians with the aid of 60’s Liberals living along the coast and in LA and San Francisco . There are bums everywhere urinating and defecating all over as well as drug users laying all over the streets and in alleys.

Those responsible live behind their security gates and guarded by paid security leaving everyone else to wallow in the sewer they created.

Everyone that can is leaving. For those who think they’re safe, think again! These scum are moving all over the country, e.g., New York, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington. Everywhere you find Marxist Liberals in state offices, those states are going down the toilet just like California.

At some point, these domestic terrorists will have to be confronted.

"Getty, Pelosi, Newsom, Brown”

If these were conservatives, the Left would whine about 'white privilege"

But since they're liberals, they're "all good"

Yeah, that's what's worrying me. Right now the Left seems to be headed to Texas as California is on the verge of collapsing. But like rats deserting a sinking ship, they will head for any boat nearby. And they never learn from their mistakes.

California is the Titanic and is just waiting for global warming to raise the sea level sufficiently to cover the wreckage.

Yes. It is interesting just how much damage a few years of corrupt government can do

They’re also heading to Utah which gave us the human debris Romney. And, they’re leaving for Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon as well as Texas.

It doesn’t look like this will end well, IMO.

With the condition that California has put itself into regarding debt, infrastructure and tax burden, along with the tens of thousands of indigents in coastal cities...the next really big earthquake will cause it all to implode into chaos that will make the garbage dumps of Manila look like a five star resort.

They are on borrowed time, not just borrowed money. The next big one turns those cities into a Hell on Earth that they have no means to recover from. Let’s see what those property values and paper wealth look like then.

You forgot to give a little credit to the news media
of the state. At least at the national level there is
FOXNews to balance the rest.

Yes indeed. 99 percent of the ( very little remaining) news media is commie pinko to the MAX, with news stories so slanted as propaganda S to be utterly laughable
