Like New York, its become a one-party state. The one-party, crony rule is enforced my a coalition of government unions and employees, special-interests, media, and a plethora of regulations. A corrupt electoral system ensures the right people are elected.
The primary difference between CA and the USSR is that you can still flee CA. But I understand they are even working on that. They want to pass a wealth tax that you will have to pay for ten years after you move out of the state.
Anything to avoid discussing the Chynese.
We have to stop using the words Soviet, socialist and communist when describing what the Democrat Party is doing.
Those words are smokescreens to mask the real Democrat politician agenda.
Easy money.
Stolen money.
Swindled money.
Unfortunately, we have the same lockdown situation going on in Washington State. We will be leaving our lifetime home, our friends,and our family as soon as it is possible. We never imagined something like this could happen here.
Real communists believe in everyone, including themselves, doing hard work.
Senator Bernie Sanders was thrown out of a commune because he’s a lazy turd.
He liked to talk.
He didn’t do any hard work.
Some people never change.
Rush is amazing, still on the job most days of most weeks.
Given his condition, that cannot be an easy thing to make happen. Thanks Rush, for every additional hour you are there helping to inform the people.
Under a Biden Administration, do not be surprised if someone starts trying to revive the Fairness Doctrine, meaning more efforts to restrict conservative broadcasting will become policy.
Well said and absolutely true.
No, it’s about complete and total control of everything you do in life — where you live, what you eat, how you get health care, the type of car you are allowed to drive, who our neighbors are, the type of fuel powering that car, the education your kids get, forcing you to believe men can change into women, forcing you believe a man can “marry” a man, limiting what you are allowed to say, etc.
I wouldn’t mind politicians enriching themselves (Ike they always have) if they would let us be free men and women. Paying them off with money is a small price to pay compared to the complete loss of all of our liberties and freedoms.
They are power mad despots.
You got to wonder how much longer California will have the largest GDP in the nation.
With full Democrat control, it will be a short path to federally guaranteed borrowing for states and large cities.
(and yes I know the fed is broke too, but the party continues on)
Bump
Most of the wealth coming from a few digital companies which have world wide markets.
Isn’t Cal still the top state for agricultural exports?
Well said... Florida is open for business, thou the news media are trying to shut Florida down with Covid death rates...
California is China is California.
That’s not communism.
They use words like socialism and communism to distract people while they enrich themselves from our treasuries.
If they were power mad, we would already have death camps and they would be at them laughing gleefully.
It’s about the money.
How many houses does Soros have?
How many houses does Hillary have? Pelosi?
Yeah, that is one thing that bugs me about these guys. Allowing freedom and free enterprise would enrich the government class even more than shutting down economic activity and patronage, which is always what they fall back on.
Why not just set up a political president for life with economic freedom for the country? You'd probably have less resistance from the populace if they are left alone and you do good things for the country. It's basically a monarchy... People have happily lived in monarchies for centuries.
But no, power mad dictators always go for crushing the country they rule.

Technically not quite correct. SF Bay counties are currently under travel lockdown, with (so i understand) no one permitted to leave unless they are involved in a really, really serious essential occupation task... (almost makes me wish i was into drug running or smuggling, lol...)
