California is coming up on 50 years of sitting on their asses, after their ancestors broke their tails to make the place livable.
So, now the chickens are ‘coming home to roost’.
Yeah, but I think the bullet train is still on schedule.
Ha ha ha. They spent all their money on those that provide nothing. They don’t even have enough money left to buy a little sympathy.
Southern California was a wonderful place to grow up in the 50s. As a kid I’d ride the Pacific Electric by myself to the LA terminal located in lovely “skid row”, never worried or felt in danger. People from back east would remark on how neat and tidy Watts looked in comparison to the slums back at home. A different world...
My wife's family were some of those people who came with the Okies in the 1930s and defense industries in the 1940s. Some of them moved just a little east into San Bernardino and Riverside County just as the rot started in earnest in the 1980s.
Her extended family who has money to move is just waiting until they retire to leave what was still a fairly decent place in Moonbeam Brown's first term as governor.
Yep - part of the problem with Kalifornia is that they wanted to do more and do it faster so they started offering a lot of free stuff 60 or so years ago to draw people there...they drew way to many who only saw the “free” part...
