Maybe the "eat the rich" people have a point?

I think this is the single worst message given by a public servant in the history of the U.S.

Seeing over 100k people homeless makes me wonder if these peeps are rethinking the value of the "fly over states." I mean, probably not. And hopefully not.... stay out! We're full! But one wonders.

The price of lumber is going way up in a few weeks. I bet commercial sellers are even beginning to stock up right now.

If I were homeless, I'd go to CA.

I'd stow away on an ocean freighter and when I get caught become part of the crew and have adventures.

CA Ds raise $50M to "fight Trump" while fires destroy LA and people are dying, homeless, etc.

What are they going to fight? Well, half of that is to defend illegals from being deported.

Trump randomly dumped a bunch of water from two of our mountain reservoirs.

https://sjvwater.org/trumps-emergency-w ... nty-lakes/

It won't go to SoCal, because of geography. However, we needed that water for the summer, when it doesn't rain.

Not only won't that water got to SoCal, but in the places that water does go, it's raining right now, and we are supposed to be saving it. Farmers had scramble to move equipment, etc. Many dings to the agricultural sector lately.

I fear all of this shit, all at once, may hamstring the USA as a world leader very quickly.

Aside from picking up the check and having the best military, what exactly do we lead the world in?

The U.S. has been falling behind across the board and it's been going on for a long, long time.

Ridiculously robust, compared to anywhere else in the world.

Problem is, half the population (voters) is getting money fucked the last few years. Approximately 53% of the population.

Went to LA with a couple of other couples this long weekend. Was fun, man that weather is fantastic. Everything's expensive though. But did I mention the weather?

In & Out and its billionaire owner leaving CA.

I found this a bit humorous, a billionaire on a podcast called "Relatable" talking about how hard it is to raise a family in CA.
“There’s a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here,” Snyder said during a recent appearance on the “Relatable” podcast, hosted by conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey.
The migration reflects a broader corporate exodus from California, with businesses and some billionaires leaving. Tesla, Charles Schwab and Chevron are among the companies that have moved, citing regulatory challenges, operational costs and policy disagreements.

Based on her picture, I thought she was a lot older than 42.
