It was a big red flag when the California Air Resources Board, which enforces the law, estimated in 2010 that it would reduce the state's economic output by 0.2 percent.

Hippies are cutting their own throats. Soon there will be even fewer evil corporations for them to occupy.

That is pretty much how I see the entire world’s dilemma right now. Problem is, the solution may involve a LOT of real blood. I expect WWIII, and fairly soon. Think of the “kicking the can down the road as each can being the next domino, and the second to last domino hits the WWIII domino.

Democrats will find a way to subsidize California: Money for education, welfare, medical needs, food for the poor, housing for the poor, etc., etc. Tax money from conservative states will be used by the Washington elites to bail out California and their crazy leftist statism because it is too big to fail.
