The tax, housing, crime, and homeless situation in California have become extremely difficult for many people, which explains why thousands have left and continue to leave the Golden State. Consider that, from December and March, the state had several major rainstorms, but that, because of environmentalist pressure about new reservoirs, much of the water drained to the sea, so the drought remains in effect.

Homeless people (many with mental health issues) create filthy tent cities wherever they find a patch of grass or wide sidewalk. And all this exists along with Bidenflation on the side.

Mom (in the morning): Billy, I mean Trilly, before you head out to school let me adjust your girdle to enhance your man-boobs, I mean boobs. While you're at school I'll google for tips on hiding your patriarchal appendage while wearing yoga pants.
Billy: Thanks, Mom. You're the best!
Good satire has to be based on reality.
California’s problem is insanity and totalitarianism, not overtly. The affluenza makes people accept the insanity.
"What is it Billy!!?"
"Mom, I need a Band-Aid. I cut off my pee-pee!"
