The way I observe the workings of the law in general is that it’s set up for creeping incrementalism. You generally don’t see rulings grossly offensive to the general public, but nibbling around the edges until you realize one day that it seems like bizzaro world compared to a generation prior.

The level of actual education with respect to the constitution and governance is so abysmal now as to make resistance to new infringements very difficult. The majority see any type of push back from people who take some time to look into how the system works as those people being weirdos and crackpots so it has kind of a peer pressure reinforcement system in effect too.

Point taken on that note. Will probably put the first few resisters in the poorhouse though!

Wishful? Hardly, I don’t wish California BS on most of my/our enemies LOL.

We’ll see how it pans out, things like this tend to drive out the folks who’d fight it and leave behind the businesses filled with useful idiots accelerating the states fiscal and moral decline.

No, but a business license DOES bind the employer or person entering into it to consenting to the body of municiple code which may have other provisions the licensee never even considers as pertinent when getting it. You’re right that it’s a stretch to threaten jail to the employee, but then again they may be bound by their own individual professional licensing code too.

We have two sane responses to insane people backed by thugs in their state legislature:

1. Civil disobedience: Instead of ignoring nutcases (my preferred response), speak truth to power. Considering that victim class has the most diversity points, they are at the top of the power spectrum, so telling them that they are confused is exactly what leftists used to celebrate.

2. Completely ignore these nutcases as human beings. Do your job if they are under your care, but do not engage in any interaction that might prompt a “need” for pronouns. Treat them like you do the coffee machine you clean, the floor you mop, and the rest of the non-human objects that comprise your responsibilities at the nursing home.

Either way, those who threaten normal people with prison are not entitled to human dignity or compassion.

It does nothing of the sort. Dig deeper into your cracker jack box for the law license prize. You have to obey the criminal code everywhere.
There are no extra magical criminal laws that only take effect when you walk into a place with a business license.

Civil code, fines, etc... yes. And licensing codes are civil, not criminal.

Did you think the cake baker refusniks weren’t arrested just because the homos were cutting them some slack? They were fined and sued civilly. None of them were criminally prosecuted.

You are very off base on the difference between criminal, civil, and how they relate to a business license.

Only if gangsters and illegals are in California when they misuse California English.
Like parking police we will now have word police darting into gang houses listening for bad pronouns then scurrying off to strawberry fields to listen for bad pronouns among the rows of strawberry pickers. Ah too delicious

If I ever visit California, I've got a word to use when I'm not sure what they want to be called or I forget it: asshole. Would that be OK?

Please address me as GOVERNER BROWN SH*T

or be jailed. Inside a California nursing home, try that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if nursing home residents are being indoctrinated to play this politically correct gender game.

Online dictionaries prefer the no "k" version.

However, there was supposedly a law suit because another earlier song was titled "Supercalafajalistickexpialadojus."

>>You can fire them, but not prosecute them

That’s an excellent point I hadn’t thought about. The fact that this applies to nursing homes makes some sense because a person is so vulnerable at that point and dependent upon someone else. If you’ve lived your life independently and suddenly you lose all control, that’s sad. But not prosecutable.

I marked Kalifornica off my vacation list decades ago. It’s done nothing to get back in my good graces.

Recently I realized I was not born a Jamaican bobsledder. I was born a firetruck. I fully expect everyone to address me as Firetruck Joe M.

Tolerate me!

California morphs into Syria.
Jerry Brown morphs into Assad.

“I’m afraid, I`m afraid.” he says in stilted English. “In Syria now, if you talk, somebody will kill you - for what you talk, for what you think. Not for what you do. They will kill you for what you think.”

It would be hard for California to decline any further morally!

said, "California morphs into Syria"

Similar to the puritans in my opinion. Remember the "yes means Yes law?"
Where you need written contract to have sex with a girl? Since hearsay is not accepted in courts.

Witch cake originally used to discover the identity of the witch. Today the us a cake from a bakers shop to discover the identity of a christian.

They now added excommunication. Where you can't talk to specific people.

At first glance you would think I'm joking. I'm not.
