I hate to be this way... but I know California is over... they will never do what has to be done for survival. I am actually going to enjoy watching it completely collapse... if the Federal Union does not collapse before the State does.

I'm a native Californian. I spent a half century living there, and my entire extended family is still there. It grieves me to know that they're eventually going to be caught up in something that will resemble the collapse and implosion of a third world country.
I've done my best to counsel the few that will listen, but they've all got rose colored glasses on, and believe that things will somehow go on as they always have.
I feel like one of those Jews who saw the handwriting on the wall in the 1930s, and got the hell out of Germany before the holocaust. I've read some sorrowful stories from Jews whose families back home refused to heed their warnings in that time.
