I went shopping in the Goodwill Stores in California, and no one has any good stuff to give away, it’s all real junk. The quality of life dropped in many ways, trash on the streets, courtesy in driving, the State has gone South.
Hmmm...I wonder if we'll have to come with a new term? :-)
Gone South.
With a few notable exceptions, The South is the now the best region of America in my estimation. It's generally pro-business, pro-gun, right-to-work, low-tax, Republican, Conservative and God-fearing.
Gone South?
More like gone 3rd world!
Sorry, this comment is so random. Which Goodwill? What city? We have shopped at several Goodwill stores in Northern CA and found great deals on nice clothes for our kids. Trash on the streets? Again, you make it sound like the entire state looks like France on strike -- ridiculous generalization. Yes, it's liberal hell here and that stinks, but there's still a lot to love. Less than before, and probably less every day, but not widespread and rampant like you're implying.
We still find good stuff at our local Goodwills although the prices have gone up. Occasionally we luck out with brand new merchandise stores have donated.
I definitely agree on the (lack of) courtesy in driving these days.
Also, was at McDonalds around 11 this morning when a high school kid started yelling profanities at the top of his lungs. Have never encountered anything quite like that before inside of a business establishment. He didn’t seem to be angry at the food or employees — not sure what his problem was. But he was not concerned about what effect the outburst would have on other customers, especially young kids, that’s for sure.
