The state is on fire, there are water and power shortages and the major cities a coated in feces and urine. With all that, their focus is on gender issues of convicted criminals??

Back in the 70s, my dad had an offer to go work for a defense contractor in CA. He turned down the offer, and I was kind of disappointed. — I thought it would be cool to live in CA. Talk about blessings in disguise!
