I have been a Californian since I was 8, a U.S. citizen since a week after I was eligible to become one.
That California was not on that list was not an accident, and nothing makes me happier.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" than the criminal incompetence of the California legislatures of the last 30 years.
The creditworthiness of California is about to take well-deserved nosedive, and the budget deficits launched into orbit in the very near future.
Just in...
5/03/2018, 9:53 p.m. PST : FEMA will NOT cover the expense of the Oroville incompetence disaster
And the cherry on top will be the repeal of the monumental Gas tax and DMV fees, and some arrests for failing to audit and report on the expenditure of gas tax revenues, the bond issues sold as exclusively for highway improvements, which were diverted by the criminal legislatures, also of the last 30 years.
The bankruptcy of the high speed train to nowhere will be the next felony legislative crime to hit the news.
I expect a midnight caravan, any day now, of State Legislators headed south, most, if not all, with hispanic names...
The State has gone South. Not literally, but certainly figuratively.
Please tell us more on the gas tax repeal, it will happen because of the malfescence Or repeal? What is the mechanism? You didn’t mention CALPER’s, I take it that will add to the implosion. Note the B-21 will be built in CA, so they still get a lions share of its revenue. Some smart cookies @ Northrup, I have had the pleasure of meeting them.
I'm sure politics played a role in the selection of these bases, but the primary reason was that these bases are inland, and should we get caught with our pants around our ankles, a surprise SLBM attack would still allow the crews to exit the O Club or BX, get to their planes and take off.
For instance, the closest body of water to Ellsworth is Hudson Bay.
The B-21 is being built in Palmdale, CA.
They should move the Manufacturing to a Free Red State.

Sorry.
I worked for a company based in Amarillo, TX for almost 20 years (another similar one for about 14), the company in Amarillo was 105 years old when it closed. It closed because 20 years before, it bought a similar operation in CA. The CA division never made a profit for the 20 years the TX company owned it. It lost more than the company in TX made (last year it was in business the company in TX made over 1 million in profit.) Both companies are gone, bankrupt, because of the insanity of the CA company and the state.
I hate them (CA POLs) for it.
