"This can’t go on. California has to figure a way out"

---snip---

Some people who have jobs or retirement checks are fine with staying inside. Those who have lost their jobs, or fear they’re likely to lose their jobs, want the state to reopen.

But so far, the authorities who have locked us in have yet to figure out how to get us out.

Pay site, but here is a short excerpt. Hope it is within the guidelines.

Say what you want about Willie Brown, but he is not dumb.

Wow Willie Brown, longtime Democratic politician, is at odds with the Democrat Party Line? Interesting.

Thanks for speaking up, Willie. Maybe those in Sacramento will listen to you. They don’t want to hear us ‘in the flatlands’.

Send Newsom, Pritzker, Cuomo, Wolff and Murphy to Sweden for two weeks. Would go a long way to solving the problem.

California has to figure a way out. They tried that many times and it’s never worked out.

Hey Willie, call your former squeeze up and tell her to stop her party from killing what’s left of the economy.

Willie is an old-school corrupt Democrat, not a Marxist. He knows how tax revenue is generated - and recognizes the dangers of a prolonged shutdown.

He’s a dirtbag, but he’s one of those Dems you’d love to have a beer with and shoot the breeze.

Why does it have to change? Socialism takes a bad situation, makes it worse, and then makes it permanent. Before long, California dems will be talking about the new normal and Nancy Pelosi will remember that liberating people from job lock was her idea all along.

Leftists everywhere believe their loser ideas are more attractive in chaos. That is their agenda and goal....chaos. It is going to be a rough ride since there are many who support leftist nitwittery in the states most effected. Remember who is intentionally doing this to you and your familuy. Enjoy the suck.

Willie is corrupt, I saw he represented 40 or 50 of the companies developing in SF.

Will has to work!

His current sugar baby, the Russian girl, is probably expensive. His previous one had his baby and he acknowledged his paternity - and paid to support the girl

And trying to keep businesses from opening with threats of suspending their liquor licenses or cosmetologist licenses won’t work — not on a mass scale that would be needed if many people start to say: enough.

I honestly believe this is the only way California gets out. 3000 churches have told the governor they are opening at the end of May. Indian casinos are opening in a week or so. The people are simply going to have to stop obeying the governor, or we will be locked down through the summer.
