“Look, the local folks are trying to figure that out,” he told Cooper, who asked about the hydrant situation.

California is getting what they voted for. Whether the voters there will be smart enough to connect those particular dots and change their voting priorities remains to be seen.
Since they have been raised to expect government to care for them from cradle to grave, I’m not going to hold out much hope.
They might dump the current crop of incompetent socialist grifters, but they will just elect a new crop of incompetent socialist grifters.
Newscum’s act is ancient.
They say Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Fumbled? Fiddled? Same deal really.
