The CA electorate bears some responsibility for this depressing state of affairs. It has elected year after a year a bunch of hardcore radical socialists to the state legislature which has essentially turned CA into another Greece.
Also CA’s lax attitude towards illegal immigration, refusal to drill for oil, depriving farmers of much needed water, expanding the state work force, and having among the nation’s highest state tax rates have compounded all of these problems. I know. I live here.
The state is driving out successfull businesses and entrepreneurs and ringing the dinner bell for more impoverished illegal aliens to sneak across the border creating a perfect disaster for total collapse and armageddon.
In business, we talked of 'missionary' products: new ideas, lots of work, lots of education, few initial sales. The problem in California (one of them) is that the GOP refuses to do anything to change the situation - no immediate returns! Add to this, the rigged electoral districts, and Bingo! Nothing changes and nothing will change.
The quicker California goes down the tubes, the quicker it can begin the recovery.
Agree completely...the dumb asses are getting what they voted for!!!
