“...This is criminal...”
This is DEMOCRATS.
Property is life.
The left thinks this will usher in their “glorious revolution”.
The function of the law, then, is to safeguard the right to property. It is not property that is a matter of agreement, but law.“
~ Frederic Bastiat
Damn...
Thanks Democrats.
They are darkness and full of anger just for the sake of savagery.
They are fighting for collectivism.
We are ensuring the individual rights and bringing light.
Yep
The media thought that showing the riots would increase support for the riots, and that closing businesses would get more support too.
I wish it would bite them hard.
Yes. Property translates to work hours to earn it, which is a percentage of your life. Thats why property rights are so serious.
Yet they keep re-electing Pelosi. You get what you .voted for.
Per the article, 14,000 businesses have closed statewide.
Wow.
You are correct, and Joe Biden and the Commies will lose the real election in an landslide. Unless the Dems count the votes.
I have friends in rural NorCal (wine and redwoods) and their small town is hurting in a big way, they are concerned with running out of food before the spring garden produces. In those towns the grocers are small mom and pop stores, if those close the closest grocery store as most of us know them is one hour away.
In addition they had lots of tourist in wine country which has harvest coming up soon and no one is coming. Finally,the other big drop of income is the rural folks had grown pot for years, since it is now legal there they have $0 income from that source.
Just wait until all the free money runs out and landlords can start evicting non payers, you aint seen nothin yet. This party is barely getting started.
I question whether people in California have sat down, closed the drapes, poured a cup of coffee, (or whatever), and honestly analyzed how they have voted for the last thirty years. It is not just Governors, Reps, and Senators.
What about State Reps/Senators? School boards? Town councils? County Commissioners? Who are the people that control the minor aspects of your life? Maybe was not important then, but after thirty years, it does add up.
I have not set foot in California since I left for WestPac Ground Forces in 67, and I don’t regret it. Wonder how many people in Ca feel that they let the Golden Goose get away, now they don’t even have chicken wings.
They will likely just double-down.
We see it here on our side as well. There are still people here on Free Republic for example who feel that Cruz should have won the 2016 nomination and that Trump is not a conservative.
It's human nature to never want to admit you were wrong.
Well who is going to take up the slack in the loss of tax revenue. After all they have welfare bills to pay
This is what happens when good working taxpayers leave, and you are left with bums, druggies, and deadbeats.
