Quote from: "cc"A whopping 46 percent of California Bay Area residents fed up with the region's high cost of living and soaring home prices are planning to pack their bags and move out in the next few years, a poll has found.

The poll, conducted by the Bay Area Council, which describes itself as a business-sponsored, public policy advocacy organization, also found that homelessness and heavy traffic are among the things that most irk residents who live there.

"This is the trend we've been observing. Two years ago, it was 34 percent and last year it was 40," the group's president, Jim Wunderman, told KTVU about the increasing amount of those polled indicating that they want to get out.

The majority of the 1,000 polled said they have lived in the region for more than 20 years and increasingly believe that life in the Bay Area is heading in the wrong direction, despite mixed feelings about its economy.

Vancouver and area is no different.



Born and raised here, but am quickly tiring of what this city has become.  An overcrowded dump with inadequate infrastructure.



Asians are essentially taking over here.  Sky high costs of living, shit wages (again, wages are always the lowest when the immigrant population is high).



Immigrants love it here, and flood here.  White people are leaving.  This is a statistical fact.  White people want to get the fuck out.  Every white guy that I work with wants to get the fuck out.  It's just a matter of doing it.



I have work here, but other than that there is zero reason for me to remain here either, and if I make it to retirement, this White boy will be getting the fuck outta here also.

Gasoline prices in CA are now 70% higher than rest of the country.  They have a special California only gas blend which means most of the gas comes from the states three big refiners.  They used "environmental concerns" as the justification for this but the refiners themselves lobbied for the special blend different from the other 49 states mostly because it makes the state a captive market for them and blocks out of state refineries from selling ibto California.  So it was an anticompetitive protectionist measure put in place by corrupt democraps who claim to care so much about regular people but who actually destroy the quality of life for normal middle and lower class folks.

It's coming to us all.



These people are the outliers. The early starts....



In our lifetime, virtually all of us will resemble that video.



These are the people who got a hard jolt/s and couldn't recover.



They placed their faith in government bodies and patriotism. Now they're so disillusioned that they can't even panhandle enough chump change and charity Org help to get out of the region to go into red state small towns and cities and get a basic job/cheap accommodation. (Some of them even get Red State funds to make it into these shit holes)



They're the Walking Dead.



I'm convinced that AMC's "The Walking Dead" isn't just fiction.... it's predictive programming. It was done with shadowy connections to the deep state in order to prime us for the same sort of societal collapse that is now happening around us, except we're getting it in slow motion.



There is no zombie bite here now, but as any watcher of the series quickly realizes, no bite is necessary either. It's a viral contagion which cannot ever be stopped. You can have the most gated and safe community ever known to man but if an unborn child dies in the womb and then kills the mother, that mother will quickly wake up and kill her entire family, and then some....



It's all contagion.



We're all fucked now..



I could be fucked in the matter of days or weeks or months because I don't have NSW licence plates on my VIC vehicle if whole suburbs clamp down on road traffic and residency, with shoot to kill orders.



I could be fucked if I try to drive 20 hours down south either by highways (government fuckers) or back roads (ie Hillbillies).



Even the backroads are monitored by FLIR enabled gov small dick choppers.



Just know this!



All your preconceptions about what is right or wrong will get thrown into the shitter....



And hopefully, you won't any longer cling to the theme of American superiority.

Most of the street homeless (like 90%+) are hard core drug addicts.  All of them could go to homeless shelters if they wanted to do so but then they'd need to go to free state paid rehab and they don't want to do that.  This why they are street homeless.

If I was raised in California, I would have fled the state as soon as I graduated from university.

I am still hear.  I am a fourth generation Californian and have property in a conservative leaning area.  I admit the crap coming out of Sacramento is never ending though.  I certainly would not live in either San Francisco or L.A. though.

One of the things which has really pissed me off, but Democrats are doing it where ever they are in charge, is they get embarrassed by rising crime stats so they just reclassify crimes so they are no longer counted as crimes.  Then they lie and claim crime is going down when everyone with eyes knows the Democrats are lying.  It is amazing; once you stop recording a bunch of crimes the official numbers then show falling crime even though in reality crime is through the roof.



Dems love to lie and play these games.

California Dems have the same didain for caring parents that Justin Trudeau does.



California Democrats want therapists to be able to counsel 12-year-olds on gender identity and sign off on their admission to shelters without parental consent — even if there's no abuse at home



Democrats in California are pushing legislation that would reportedly enable therapists to sign off on 12-year-olds' admission to state-run housing facilities without their families being notified, even if there is no threat of abuse or self-harm at home.



Assembly Bill 655, introduced by Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo in February and approved this week by Democrats on the state Senate Judiciary Committee, would also allow kids to receive counsel on gender identity from school psychologists, therapists, and uncredentialed trainees without parental consent.



Carillo's coauthor on the bill is state Sen. Scott Wiener, who previously claimed that "the word groomer is categorically an anti-LGBTQ hate word," then advanced a law that made California a sanctuary state for child sex-change mutilations.



In addition to his responsibility for a law (SB145) permitting judges to decide not to place a man on the sex offender registry if he statutorily raped a grade schooler ten years his junior between the ages of 14 and 17, orally or anally, Wiener is also cosponsor on AB957, which passed the State Assembly in May and would make any parents who do not affirm their child's gender dysphoria guilty of abuse.

By 2035, more than half of all "heavy vehicles" sold in California must be electric. In 2022, only 2% of heavy vehicles sold in the U.S. were all-electric.



The state's newly enacted bill will require heavy vehicle manufacturers to ensure that a certain percentage of their trucks are all-electric. The rule requires this for 55% of delivery vans and smaller trucks, 75% of buses and larger trucks, and 40% of tractor-trailers and other big rigs.



Let's see how this bogs down the supply chain.

Oh, bog down it will.  So in California a truck weighing 80,000 lbs loaded could be expected to be run anywhere from 11 to 14 hours/day, but some of them will run 24/7 with team drivers.  I simply don't see how a battery can power a vehicle under these conditions.



Team driving would become a thing of the past, as would be running a truck both day & night shift with two separate employees.

Child sex trafficking used to be a felony here not so long ago (2014) but Dems down graded it to a misdemeanor claiming it was "racist" because 90% of the pimps trafficking underaged run away were black.

You got it brother. Out of touch wealthy assholes who look down on working class folks. More than that, they hate us.

Retail is no longer a lucrative business anywhere, but especially in California.

A black doctor in California is suing the state for what he calls state mandated racist "education".  The state recently passed a law requiring doctors to undergo 50 hours of "implicit bias" training every two years.  This training is extremely racist and factually untrue according to the doctor because it claims that white doctors, and only white doctors, unknowingly seek to kill non-white patients. 

This is obviously a state mandated lie as well as extremely racist and prejudicial.  Sadly, racism is the central theme of modern leftism though.

Joe Rogan on Gavin Newsom.

"Nobody believes in that guy. That guy's a f***ing conman," Rogan said. "Everything he did in California, from trying to mandate vaccines for kids, when it was totally unnecessary, to being caught out in public without a mask and lying about the fact that he was outdoors."

"He's just a politician. Just a stone-cold narrative-driven politician. Nobody thinks he's a real human," Rogan added. "Whether you like Trump or not or whether you think he's corrupt or not – that's a human being, you know what that guy is."

He continued, "Same thing with RFK Jr., whether you believe that he's correct about vaccines or whether you believe his policies would be effective – you know that's a human being."

Constantly changing "animal welfare" rules for the California pork farmers means many small family farms are being put out of business.  This is the four change in seven years and each change costs small family farms hundreds of thousands of not millions to comply with.  This seems to be the goal of vegetarian and vegan activists, to constantly change regulations so small farmers have no hope of financially complying with the ever changing regulations.

They hate regular people who eat meat and want to bankrupt any farmer who produces meat.  I am positive the activists will just then lie and claim this is somehow a problem with capitalism.

BTW there was a really good reason why confinement cages were used on sows with small piglets.  The sows will literally roll over and crush their own piglets, bite them or kill them, this costing farmers 50% to 75% of their new piglets.  Confinement cages allow the piglets to nurse from their mother during the brief period after they are born but not risk the high chance that their own mother kills them.

Democrats have trained them to steal and loot knowing the Democraps D.A.s would never allow them to face charges.  Lying Democraps claim this is "racial justice" claiming black criminals should never face charges because holding them accountable for their actions is some how "racist".  Not surprisingly black criminals have vastly increased the frequency and severity of their crimes because they know weak on crime Democraps will protect them and shit on victims.

Newscum and the Democraps had three natural gas fired power plants in southern California shut down in the name of "climate change".  They claimed "green energy" would replace the lost electricity but in reality out of state coal fired power plants replaced the majority of the lost electricity production.  Now, faced with past blackouts and sky high electricity prices Dems want to slightly bring those natural gas fired power plants back but only during emergencies.

These idiots want to electrify everything but they also want to eliminate electric power production at the same time.  This is just stupidity.

They should be able to posts signs that say "NO BLAX ALLOWED".

It's not just the California Dems that are betraying the middle class. The California Republican Party recently released its regularly scheduled updates to the party platform, and, given the content of the changes, voters could be forgiven for mistaking it for the Democratic platform from a couple decades ago.


Among the proposed edits: dropping language in favor of traditional marriage and protections for religious dissenters, eliminating the plank recognizing conception as the beginning of human life, and completely nixing prior support for election integrity measures.

The section on education does not mention anything about the content taught to children, despite curriculum issues being at the heart of grassroots clashes both locally and statewide.

The proposed changes also drop the entire section on election integrity, which included support for voter ID at the ballot box, along with proof of citizenship upon registration and a chain of custody procedure for ballots.

There are other revisions, some apparently for space and clarity, and some issue items have been added in response to rising problems, like a new separate plank on homelessness. But even these new sections suffer from a lack of fortitude; the homelessness section says nothing about the encampments and open drug abuse that are destroying California's cities and stresses "job training and placement" and addiction services rather than law enforcement.

hile the party is likely to cite concerns about electability of a more conservative platform in a blue state, the reality is that many of the cultural positions that Republicans seem afraid to adopt are popular even among moderates and Democrats. It's true that abortion does appear to be hurting the GOP electorally in some states. But an overwhelming majority of Democrats support voter ID, concerns about sexual content in schools are often shared by independent or even left-leaning voters, and just about everyone in California has noticed the increase in crime, disorder, and homelessness in urban environments.

Honest Democrat admits a decade-old 'big mistake' as California battles organized retail theft: 'Enough is enough!'

A California Democratic lawmaker is expressing regret for supporting a law that ultimately made it more difficult to prosecute theft and drug crimes.

San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa supported Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot referendum that downgraded several nonviolent felony crimes. The referendum — which passed with nearly 60% approval — made shoplifting, grand theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, fraud, and writing a bad check a misdemeanor crime if the value of the stolen or fraudulent amount is less than $950.

On Tuesday, Canepa declared his support for Prop 47 a "mistake."

"I thought it was a good idea at the time because I thought [that] we need to give people an opportunity, we need to give people a chance," Canepa said, according to KPIX-TV.

"I made a mistake, it was a big mistake, and you have to acknowledge your mistake," he admitted. "By doing this, what we've done is we're letting people take thousands and thousands of dollars. And why should people be subjugated?"

In 2022 alone, retail theft cost U.S. businesses nearly $100 billion in lost revenue. In San Mateo specifically, shoplifting last year spiked "60% higher than the pre-pandemic average," KGO-TV reported.

A recent article from Newsmax reports that San Francisco is now topping the U.S. in plunging home values.

The article states: "About one in eight (12.3%) homes that sold in San Francisco during the three months ending July 31 was purchased for less than the seller paid for it, up from 5% a year earlier. That's a higher share than any other major U.S. metro and is quadruple the national rate (3%)."

Fast-food companies pull California referendum, agree to $20 minimum wage

(https://i.imgur.com/pgF9278.jpg)

Fast-food companies that spent millions of dollars to defeat a worker-protections law agreed over the weekend to pull their referendum from the November 2024 ballot in a move that will give employees a $20-an-hour minimum wage.

The California Legislature has until Thursday to approve the agreement, which would avoid a costly battle with labor unions.

The move, cheered by fast-food cooks, cashiers and baristas, will result in a new set of amendments to Assembly Bill 1228 and pave the way for the creation of a fast-food council, first approved last year in Assembly Bill 257, also known as the FAST Recovery Act.

The council would establish minimum standards on wages and make recommendations on working hours to ensure the health, safety and welfare of workers are developed with proper oversight. It also would have the power to raise the fast food minimum wage to as much as $22 an hour.

OK, so right off the bat, I've found that all the websites are straight up LIES!!!! when it comes to historic prices. People, we are being gas lit to fucking hell. This shit is so fucking bad, I'm not even going to comment of minimum wage anymore.

If you use the price of gold as an anchor, minimum wage should be $16.93. I'd be happy to win an argument as long as its accepted that minimum wage should be tied to something concrete. If you believe there should not be a minimum wage period, well, you should be able to pay people $1 per hour and it is not an argument that I can win.

Governments have to topple or be fully neutered for the concept of legislated minimum wage to go away...

I still laugh when I order delivery food online in Australia and they have an optional "driver tip" box.

1st off, why would I tip when I already paid up front and the delivery driver hasn't arrived yet therefore not warranting any consideration of a tip or not.

But more importantly, Australian governments have mandated certain "award wages" for nearly any occupation bar a nuclear family run farm.

Shit is so expensive here BECAUSE of socialism...

...and then these businesses put in a digital tip jar for their drivers because...what? Aren't they paying them the legally sanctioned and otherwise criminally prosecutable if they aren't paying "minimum wage"?

Yeah, nah...

These are the same food businesses that claim their delivery fee is between 4-12 bucks, within a limited locality, assuming you spend a minimum of 25-100 bucks on a single order... and then at check out, you get hit with a further 4-7 buck servicing fee.

What the fuck? If you order food for pick up, the price is the price.

If you order food for delivery, the delivery fee is added on.

Yet, you must pay their servicing fee... or the order won't proceed.

Tips? Motherfuckers?

Here's a tip... go fuck yourselves, Australian takeaway/takeout restaurants....

Your food is above all pretty mediocre... priced through the roof, and did I mention your food is barely edible.

Pizzas and Tex Mex are abominable... these people know sweet fuck all about cuisine, proper ingredients, and fair prices.

Quote from: Frood on September 15, 2023, 04:43:20 AMGovernments have to topple or be fully neutered for the concept of legislated minimum wage to go away...

I still laugh when I order delivery food online in Australia and they have an optional "driver tip" box.

1st off, why would I tip when I already paid up front and the delivery driver hasn't arrived yet therefore not warranting any consideration of a tip or not.

But more importantly, Australian governments have mandated certain "award wages" for nearly any occupation bar a nuclear family run farm.

Shit is so expensive here BECAUSE of socialism...

Yea, that tip bullshit is a joke! Worse yet, I remember when 10% was the standard. Now they want 20%!!!

As far as minimum wage, I view it the opposite. I believe I can prove that the problem is NOT that minimum wage should be $16/hr+, the problem is that the people in this country view that as excessive to pay a burger flipper. Why do they view it that way? Because THEIR real wages have been driven down since the 80's.

My step dad made 70K in the 80's as a service manager. The service manager at my local garage makes $80K to $100K/yr. The equivalent today would be close to $300K/yr. I doubt anyone could possibly wrap their head around wages being that low. I doubt anyone here will accept it.

Further supporting my assertion, we lived in an $80,000 house when he made $70K/yr. The house today is worth well over $200,000 dollars.

Another example:

Radiologists at my local hospital made $250K/yr in 1990. My son in law is an ER doc and can only break $400K/yr with overtime. Instead of me doing the math, I'll leave it up to someone else. the FACT! is though, nobody can convince anyone reasonable that 1990 $250K/yr is only $400K/yr in todays money.

It's ironic that Bernie Sanders puts the Danish economic model on a pedestal. They do not have a legislated minimum wage.

A California Democrat announced a lawsuit against the liberal city of Sacramento on Tuesday, claiming that officials have failed to address the homelessness crisis and allowed conditions comparable to "third-world countries."

Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho torched city officials for neglecting to enforce ordinances regarding homelessness.

During a Tuesday press conference, Ho explained that the homeless population has increased 250% within the past seven years, noting that Sacramento has more people living on the streets than San Francisco.

Ho called it a "descent into decay," claiming officials have allowed the city to "collapse into chaos." The city's refusal to enforce the law has caused "an erosion of everyday life where we forget what it feels like to be safe," Ho claimed.

True, but:

There is no minimum salary set by law in Denmark, but the actual minimum monthly gross salary is around €2,600. Taxes are really high here, at around 52%, which means that the minimum take-home salary becomes ~€1,300.

https://nomadnotmad.com/this-is-the-minimum-and-average-salary-in-denmark/

€1,300.00 = roughly $1,386.28

Minimum wage in USA is still $7.25 per hour.
40 hour work week x 4 = $1,160.00

So workers in Denmark, with no mandated minimum wage, have more money *after taxes* than a minimum-wage worker in 'Murica earns GROSS.

Maybe the Danes just don't have as many greedy pricks running things? /shrug

That aint entirely accurate. The actual tax income rate on low salaries like that is 12.09%. That does not include shit like the Municipal tax which varies depending where you live in Denmark and the Labour Market Tax.

The minimum wage is decided through collective bargaining agreements in each sector. The average for most sectors of unskilled labour is just under $16 an hour. But, the difference between the minimum wage and the average salary is not too much. Journeymen in Canada earn higher wages than in Denmark. I worked with HD mechanics from Denmark in the Middle East. I can see why they go abroad to work. They are underpaid.

So, Denmark pays fast food workers about the same as California or British Columbia. But, they underpay folks that took years to get certification. I do not like it.

I live in a nice leafy suburb but it is changing drastically and it's killing my spirit.

It hurts like hell to see less trees, more wretched people with twice as many cars clogging up streets.


The changes are fast and insufferable.

Mmmm. Just what it's doing for the resale value of properties in the area ought to be something to give an investor the incentive to push prices even lower. Leave the chance to relocate for too long and your options are visibly wilting before they ever get a chance to be exercised.

I did say that getting out of the cities was a good idea; here is but one example of their decline into urban ghetto trash. I wouldn't invest in property there, you're guaranteed to lose value. Those that don't fall into line will be forced to through property tax hikes and legislation aimed at squeezing even more out of the gullible home owners.

It appears greasy Newscum is trying to pretend he is a moderate now instead of the flaming radical left wing extremist we have all known for the last 20 years.  My guess is he wants to run for President so he is now trying to reposition himself.

California tends to lead the charge when it comes to proposing bills that not only defy all sound logic and reasoning but also tend to be downright evil.

The state's latest endeavor attempted to pass a law that would have essentially allowed children to be taken away from parents who refused to affirm their child's gender identity.

"AB-957 proposed that courts deciding custody cases must consider whether each parent affirmed the child's gender identity and added parents' affirmation of their child's gender identity to the state's standard of what constitutes parental responsibility for providing the health, safety, and welfare of the child in a court of law," reports Sara Gonzales.

"Simply put, when parents divorce and go through a custody battle, judges can use this bill to remove children from the home of a parent who refuses to participate in the delusion of transgenderism."

However, in a surprising turn of events, Governor Gavin Newsome vetoed the bill.

He is doing this so he will not seem so extreme should he be called upon by the DNC to replace Biden.

Elephants First to Benefit as Ojai, CA Recognizes 'Legal Rights of Nonhuman Animals'

(https://i.imgur.com/eSGUuUz.gif)  <- Heading to Ojai

Legal rights for all inhabitants of the animal kingdom have been formally recognised in the Southern California city of Ojai after a council vote Tuesday night.

Elephants are the first to benefit as the city leads the U.S. to ensure legal protection is delivered to any and all "nonhuman animals."

The Ojai City Council voted to adopt the ordinance introduced by Councilmember Leslie Rule (District 1) and developed with the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) by a vote of 4-1, local outlet KTLA reports.

Rule first proposed the ordinance earlier this year. Specifically, she wrote the ordinance due to how elephants in Ojai were once made to do circus tricks and were later moved to a large elephant sanctuary, the California Globe reports.

The proposal argued elephants are cognitively, emotionally, and socially complex like humans, and deserve liberty to lead healthy lives with their feelings intact.

The ordinance defines and protects elephants' rights to freedom, NhRP said in a press release.

How can someone possibly defraud a lending institution with inflated valuations when it is the fiduciary responsibility of the lender to asses the financial risk and send out an independent 3rd party to appraise the property?

Even after all of the that, when the appraiser comes back with a valuation number, and lets just say it's 1,000,000 in this instance the lender STILL does not lend out the full 1,000,000. 90% of that maybe on the most aggressive of lenders.

So wheres the fraud?

Especially when ALL of the loans cited have already been paid back with interest?  :crazy:

Gas prices in California are now 55% higher than the national average and it is mostly due to Democrats deliberately trying to force gas prices up because they claim high gas prices are better for the environment.  Democrats 1) Raise the state gas taxes every year automatically.  2) Have shut down 1/3rd of the refineries on the state since 2020 claiming it would improve the environment to shut down refineries.  3) Democrats forced California to use an entirely different gas formula which none of the other 49 states use.

Seven San Francisco Starbucks to close amid crime wave

(https://i.imgur.com/3nwQG67l.jpeg)

At least seven Starbucks locations in downtown San Francisco are slated to be closed as crime continues to degrade the Democratic-controlled city.

"Each year as a standard course of business, we evaluate the store portfolio to determine where we can best meet our community and customers' needs," a Starbucks spokesperson said.

"This includes opening new locations, identifying stores in need of investment or renovation, exploring locations where an alternative format is needed. and, in some instances, re-evaluating our footprint."

Starbucks is just the latest example of a big business ditching San Francisco, as a recent study found that nearly 97% of all restaurants in the city have suffered from property crime or graffiti in the last month, according to the report.

Nordstrom, Whole Foods, Old Navy, Office Depot, H&M, and Athleta are just a few examples of businesses that have been part of a greater exodus.

San Francisco has suffered an injury to its economy that it may not recover from. Its technology sector suffers from people fleeing the city and the greater push toward remote work, the report noted.

Office vacancy sits at 30% as of September, and the city's credit rating has taken a dive from Moody.

BTW most school districts have canceled advanced and/gifted classes because most students in the advanced classes were white or Asian so, of course, the lying Democraps claimed the were "racist".  That is right, doing your homework and studying hard to get ahead is an expression of "whiteness".  The reality is how well a student scores is almost exactly correlated with how much homework and studying they do.

Black students, on average, do just 3 minutes of homework per week, Latinos were at 20 minutes, whites were at 1 hour, and Asians were at 1 hour 20 minutes.  So race isn't the factor but laziness is.  Students who do not study or do homework score poorly while those who do score well, race is not involved, except some groups culturally don't seem to care about academic success while parents I those groups are collectively lazy pieces of shit.

California creates race-based missing persons alert system: 'Ebony alert'

(https://thebluecashew.net/gallery/3421_11_10_23_1_32_09.png)

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed legislation making California the first state in the country to create a separate alert system for missing women and children based on race.

Like an Amber Alert, the Golden State's new "Ebony Alert" is designed to notify the public when black children and young black women and girls between the ages of 12 and 25 go missing.

The law, set to go into effect on Jan. 1, was passed unanimously by both chambers of California's legislature.

"California is taking bold and needed action to locate missing black children and black women in California," Democratic state Sen. Steven Bradford, who led the legislation, said in a press release. "Our black children and young women are disproportionately represented on the lists of missing persons. This is heartbreaking and painful for so many families and a public crisis for our entire state."

California has other similar alert systems, including the Amber Alert for missing children generally, Blue Alert for people who attack law enforcement, the Silver Alert for missing seniors and people with disabilities, and the Feather Alert for missing Native Americans.

Heat and energy are essential. Any deliberate attempts by activist governments to decrease supply and increase costs should not be legal.

That is literally the stated goals of the radical left.  To destroy hear and energy production "to help the planet".  They ignore that anything we do automatically gets overwhelmed by what the CCP does (who produces almost 60% of global GHG production and rising fast because they mainly use coal) not to mention the rest of the 3rd world.

It literally just amounts to impoverishing the west and making it weak for its enemies while accomplishing nothing else.

Hell, it gets even worse as there is an organized attempt to try to reduce farming in the west "for the environment".  They want to strangle fishing of wild stocks, they want to block fish farming, they want to reduce or eliminate livestock farming, they want to prevent farmers from using fertilizers or pesticides needed to grow crops.  They even want to cut off water to farmers. 

Every farmer wants to reduce input costs like fertilizers but they still need an effective amount so their crops still grow.  In the west they have reduced it 40% since the 1970's and probably will decrease it further in the future with micro targeting and spraying techniques/technologies but the radical left just wants a good crisis.  That seems to be their goal.

They literally did the exact same thing, letting water flow out to the ocean and be lost, here in California.  Environmentalists, a group heavily infested with radical left wing communists who hate American and openly say their goal is to destroy it and replace it with a communist dictatorship, sued supposedly to help the "California delta smelt".  That is a minnow sized fish which historically lives in the California delta (east of S.F. bay) but whose numbers have crashed.  The left claimed it was because not enough water was dumped into the ocean but every biologist in the last 50 years has said the minnows are getting eaten by large preditory fish introduced 100 years ago as sport fish.  Large mouth bass, small mouth bass, striped bass, various types of catfish, various types of trout, carp from Eurasia, etc...

So Democrats denied farmers water for years causing many to go bankrupt all to help a minnow which just kept dying anyway because lack of water was never the problem.  It is a deliberate attack upon farmers and the left really is doing it all across the west.

They are also proposing a new per house charge to go after people like me who invested in solar systems.  This negating much of the benefit of spending $24,000 to buy such a system to began with.  They also are changing rates to make day time costs go down (so that the amount utilities must credit for selling solar power to the grid goes down) but jacking up costs by 300% for night time electric use.  It is worth mentioning natural gas costs went up 300% last year largely he design because Dems hate natural gas despite its price falling every where else in the country.

Lastly, they have proposed making electricity rates change based upon your family income so some people will get to use what ever they want while paying very little while others pay sky high rates simply to punish them for working hard.

I have literally had $400 per month SDG&E bills despite being fairly frugal and do not having a giant house.  Thus why I invested in solar.  Last month my SDG&E bill was just $45.  The problem is other people can no longer copy what I did as the new net metering rules gutted credits people get for installing solar being reduced by 80%.  Worse, the newest proposed rules mean businesses and multiple unit buildings (apartments) will now get virtually no financial benefit for installing solar.  Dems just don't want roof top solar and have made sure no additional capacity will be installed in the future.

I now here they just want people to reduce electricity use and plan for future "load shedding" which means rolling black outs to force people to use less.  This would destroy economies; just look at how it has destroyed South Africa's economy but this is what Democrats are saying they want according to the California Public Utilities Commission.  They want to destroy the economy and this is a religion for them.

I plan to eventually install one or two battery backups on my house to have a few hours of backup power for my family plus wire and outdoor plug where I can install a generator.  I am unsure which generator path is the best to go with.  The two options arebtwo small generators plugged in series or a whole house back up generator (maybe with dual fuel natural gas or propane power).  The second one would be much more expensive.

Michael Sullivan, the operations manager for Roger's Garden, told KABC-TV that the nursery in Newport Beach had been hit by a thief several times, and he was caught on video, but police were unable to do anything about it.

Big government Democrats pass state level policies based upon what their urban big city base wants (along with what brain dead suburban white women feel sounds nice) but they absolutely fucking destroy rural areas and small towns/cities.  Richmond was always a run down blue collar town even in the best of times but the massive over regulations of everything and sky high minimum wage laws just render marginal areas such as Richmond unviable.

Most of these small businesses were owned by immigrants, people of color, and working class white families.  These groups don't have deep pockets and they often are just barely making it.  So when the general economy takes a hit they are in trouble but when radical leftists in the state government also gives them a few gut punches then the entire economy of these economically marginal areas goes under.  Especially when Dems do unscientific shutdowns for political reasons.  Vote blue and your town can also start looking like Richmond.

The only problem I have with this video is the comment on $20/hr as if thats a lot of money. I'll make $165K/yr this year and thats barely middle class income. $20 barely buys you a fukin  meal at McGaggles these days. $20 is worth exactly jack shit these days.

People need to wake the fuck up and realize we're in Weirmacht inflation territory.

Nasty fukin bums.

So...  Due to Democrat mismanagement and terrible policies California has a $68 billion yearly budget deficit and Dems are vowing to not cut a single penny.  Instead they want massive tax increases even though the state already has the highest taxes in the country.

Stellantis has notified thousands of workers in the US states of Ohio and Michigan of potential layoffs, attributing the move partly to California rules that limit where vehicles can be sold.

The moves at the plants are to manage sales of the vehicles they produce to comply with California emissions regulations that are measured on a state-by-state basis.

Why does it cost 500% more to build the exact same freeway in California compared to Nevada?

This is why homelessness never gets solved in California because the system politicians have developed is so profitable for the "charities" and those same supposed charities then donate big and lobby in support of the Democraps who funnel billions to them.  On average overhead and salaries (many of top officials pay themselves several million per year) eat up an average of 75% of any money while actual money going to help the homeless is only 25%. That is on average with many "charities" clocking in at only 5%.

https://youtu.be/m5lWotQJ8yw?si=3nT7fkDbagRxx8jt

One charity tried to help homeless people get jobs but other homeless "charities" literally told him "if you get the homeless jobs then what will we do?" They know they are parasites who want the problem to get ever worse and not solve it so they get ever more money from the government.

Yeah, that is b.s..  Oh, I am sure complying with California's retarded emissions laws suck but the main reason Stellaris vehicles aren't selling is because they abandoned affordable vehicles and increased MSRPs on existing vehicles by 50% since 2020.  No one wants a $100,000 Jeep or a $100,000 Ram truck.  Especially when interest rates are 9% if you have excellent credit or 19.99% if you have shit credit.

A Democrat politician in San Francisco claimed that capitalism is to blame for homelessness and said that arresting drug addicts is counterproductive.

He went on to explain how capitalism had failed San Francisco and caused the homeless crisis there.

"I think what you're seeing in the Tenderloin is absolutely the result of capitalism and what happens in capitalism to the people at the bottom rungs," Preston said.

"The biggest driver of why folks are on the street is because they lost their jobs, income or were evicted from their homes, usually for not being able to pay the rent," he added. "So you have major landlords literally causing folks to lose their homes, and real estate speculation making it impossible for folks to find an affordable place to live."

Preston had previously supported defunding the police force, and he reiterated his extremist belief despite the movement losing steam among more mainstream Democrats.

I was talking to a guy from California a few months back and I told him they started that needle exchange program in the mid 80's. I also told him they swore by the light of the moon that they would force people to turn a needle in before they could get a new one. Dude was all Pikachu Meme shocked!  :crampe:

Yep, they never actually demand exchanges.  Instead they just give fistfuls for free and then the junkies litter contaminated needles every where.  That is why there should never be a needle exchange.

When my stupid fuktard dad told me they would be demanding a needle be turned in, I'm sure my eyeballs about rolled out of my head!

Idiot Democrats in the California state legislature have decided that they are going to start fining stores that do not have a gender neutral toy section.  Our economy is falling apart because of Democrats, crime and open street drug abuse is everywhere because of Democrats, public schools are a complete shit show, public universities are out and out communist indoctrination camps...  But dining the few retailers still in business because of how they set up their toy section is the priority?

A citizen journalist does a documentary on crime in San Francisco.

A local north county woman was arrested for directing a team of 12 thieves who were running an organized retail theft ring which she would then fence on Amazon marketplace for 50% of their retail place.  Records show that just on Amazon alone she sold more than $8 million worth of stolen goods.

Gavin Newsom's 10-year plan to end San Francisco homelessness turns 20 years old as the crisis grows statewide.

A Public Policy Institute of California study found that 30% of the country's homeless Americans live in California, including "half of all unsheltered people," approximately 115,000 of the country's nearly 234,000.

Since 2020, there was also an increase of 17% in the homeless but sheltered population in California, with a 2% increase in unsheltered. At the same time, "California's overall homeless population has increased about 6%, compared to just 0.4% in the rest of the country."

Pizza Hut Operators in California Lay Off All Delivery Drivers After Gov. Newsom Raises Minimum Wage For Fast-Food Workers

(https://i.imgur.com/PwBO7E3.jpeg)

Two large Pizza Hut operators in California are laying off all their delivery drivers ahead of a new state law that raises the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 an hour, Business Insider reports.

The layoffs impact hundreds of Pizza Hut locations across the state including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura and San Bernardino counties and Sacramento, and involve more than 1,200 in-house delivery drivers.

The job cuts will take place through February, according to federal employment notices obtained by Business Insider.

The two major franchisees are "Pac Pizza, LLC," and "Southern California Pizza Co." They both handle Pizza Huts in California including Los Angeles, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange County as well as Sacramento.

Has anyone seen the walmart cashier lines after COVID? there's maybe 2 maned lanes now IF THAT.

Your average libtard in California is so fucking stupid - I swear.

These vermin cocksuckers go to college to become fucking stupid.

20.00 bucks is a "living wage"? In California? Are you fucking dolts really that fucking brain dead? 20.00 an hour isn't even a living wage down here in Florida where the cost of living is about 15% of what it is in that shithole.

Hell, ppl in California would have a hard time living comfortably on a 50.00 an hour salary

this is lip service to distract from the disastrous policies they put into effect which causes the cost of living to skyrocket

So the cost of living rises 30 bucks an hour and this asshole hands you the crumbs which amount to 3 bucks an hour and you fucking dupes fall for the oakie doke like the good dumb little lemmings you are.

unbelievable

Absolutely! IMO Walmart is an outlet store for the CCP. I'd like to see Walmarts go away for good which is why I only go there once or twice a year on average.

A lot of other stores are getting just as bad tho. Even Harvest Market and Schnucks in Springfield have self checkout lanes and they're both expensive AF.

I have to add that these problems can be traced back to the GOVERNMENT taking more and more. $25/hr wouldnt be a biggie IF the government wasnt raping all the money out of the economy for itself.

The US is well entrenched into a Wiemar Republic economy controlled by a Fascist Regime. Just wait until cash goes away! It'll be like Zimbabwe.

Exactly

a 3 dollar raise doesn't mean shit in an economy where each dollar is now worth 80 cents. Especially when their ass backwards policies cause prices on everything you need to buy to sky rocket in double digit numbers.

Fucking libtards put shinny objects in the faces of their dumb constituents so they cannot see the store being robbed fucking blind through the backdoor.

15.00 an hour would be fine if gas were 95 cents a gallon, a two bedroom apt rented for 700.00 a month and you weren't taxed to within an inch of your life anytime you fucking breathe.

and how do the idiots on the left respond? TO whine about the parent company of Pizza hut making 13 billion a year in revenue. Aside from the fact that they are too dumb to realize revenue alone cited in a vacuum means absolutely nothing. Their own toilet of a state collected a wopping 280 billion in tax revenue in 2022 and are now 68 billion IN the HOLE. Why? because they fucking spent 350 billion.

Additionally, chain stores like Pizza hut have to evaluate the profitability of EACH store on an individual basis. Really doesn't make much business sense to have 100 stores in calia losing a total 1 billion a year while you have 100 stores in Florida making 1 billion a year. You still end up with a wash on your books.

Not that libtards are smart enough to understand all that

I want anybody who works making enough to live on. But, what good is a higher wage when bad policies in California take away any gains workers make through legislating higher wages. The government of California has higher tax revenues after forcing higher wages so they are happy.

that's exactly the point.

People in the 50s live a comfortable life on a single income making far less than 15 bucks an hour.

raising the minimum wage by 4 bucks an hour does nothing when the cost of living has risen at a rate of 10 times that.

Yep, generally raising minimum wage just creates inflation and decreases job opportunities.  Remember how the dum asses wanted $15 an hour saying they wanted "a livable wage".  Well now they want $20 because supposedly $15 isn't a livable wage.

15 wasn't a livable wage the day they were asking for it

just like 20 isn't a livable wage in California right now

these people are so incredibly dumb

Meanwhile a double cheese burger, medium fries, medium coke, and a small chicken nuggets is like $16.  Imagine what it will be once the $20 per hour wage kicks in.

That is inevitable when wages for unskilled and usually entry level labor are increased suddently by a large percentage with the stroke of a pen.

That's not the answer my friend.

In the late 1800s and most of the 1900s we had little to no automation and society thrived.

15 dollar an hour jobs have their place in our society as they provide a gateway into the workforce for younger and parttime workers looking to make some pocket money while they are busy building a real skill.

but to expect this to be a career shows just how fucking "deadbeat" the left really is.

If a 15.00 or even 20.00 dollar an hour is to be a viable life long career choice in the minds of these idiots then they need to make life's expenses more palatable to that type of income.

In the early 1900's a man could support an entire family on a salary as a grocery store clerk.

Try that shit in California today.

More than 1,200 delivery drivers will lose their jobs.

Now, customers who want delivery from the impacted restaurants will be forced to use third-party apps like DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats to order their Pizza Hut delivery.

This means that customers will pay more overall for their pizza because of the fees associated with the apps.

The unfortunate news demonstrates one of the key problems with government-mandated minimum wage increases: Business owners do not absorb the increased cost of labor.

In the case of these Pizza Hut operators, they are decreasing the size of their workforce to pay for the forced increase of labor. The second option is to pass the increased cost of labor to consumers. That is exactly what McDonald's and Chipotle are doing. After the bill became law, both fast-food chains said they will increase menu prices to offset the forced increase in employee wages.

The left continues to drive inflation higher.

San Francisco is so desperate for money they are now illegally trying to shake down giant companies.  GM had a handful of employees in San Francisco working on self driving cars so, ignoring federal and state tax law, San Francisco wants $108 million as a share of GM's total world wide revenue.  They will of course lose in court but SF is sending these bills to tens of thousands of companies hoping that some just pay it so they net gain money despite their demands being entirely illegal.

The $68 billion dollar deficit this year will seem low if that state continues with policies that chase away their tax base.

So most people know California Democrats have put price controls on the insurance industry for decades.  Since Newscum came into office he has been extremely harsh totally blocking the insurance market from working.  This has caused seven of the ten largest insurance companies to simply abandon the California market because it is unprofitable for them.

Now, the same thing is happening in the auto insurance marketbfor the exact same reason.  Auto insurance rates are expected to go up 35% this year as so many companies are abandoning California.

That happened in Alberta and Nova Scotia I believe when the NDP was the government. They capped auto insurance and many hig risk drivers found themselves unable to get insurance at any price.

Shoplifting reports soared in L.A. last year

Shoplifting reports in Los Angeles surged by 81% in 2023 over the prior year, according to police data compiled by a nonprofit news organization.

Crosstown looked at crime statistics that the L.A. Police Department posted publicly on a city website last week.

It shows retailers reported 11,945 shoplifting cases in 2023, more than five thousand cases higher than in 2022 (6,585), which was a more typical year, as compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Overall, retail crime, which includes shoplifting and felony smash-and-grabs, climbed 15% in 2023, according to Crosstown.

Midway through 2023, local leaders announced a task force to combat the rising number of smash-and-grab cases that were occurring almost daily in the Los Angeles metro area – many during broad daylight in crowded stores.

No Republicans allowed. But, non citizens are welcome.

Start with the decline side, the effect. In January, California faced a budget deficit estimated at $58 billion. A month later, that deficit is now estimated at $73 billion. There are several months to go in the state's budget cycle, so no one knows what that final deficit number will turn out to be. I endorse the sentiment that Governor Gavin Newsom (D) "would run a child's lemonade stand into the ground." The state's infrastructure is already in appalling condition, so sharp reductions in state spending will get interesting in a hurry. Invest in Los Angeles tire shops.

The other side is the origin of the implosion. California's decline is caused by a political process that doesn't notice basic questions of governance because politicians are too busy preening and performing about social justice nonsense.

California politicians spend their time on things like reparations and an endless stream of disgraceful anti-parent bills; last year, discussing a bill to penalize parents for failing to honor a child's gender transition choices, one of the few Republican legislators in Sacramento warned parents to escape the state and "move to America."

Meanwhile, the California attorney general is suing a school district to prevent it from implementing a parental notification policy, fighting for secret sexual discussions on K-12 campuses.

And so California has lost more than 800,000 residents in three years, as people flee to sanity. They are, in fact, moving to America, and businesses are leaving with them. So Democrats keep winning elections in California, and they keep moving harder and harder to the left, and taxpayers are racing for the exits. And now: a $58 billion deficit that quickly turns into a $73 billion deficit.

What voting won't stop, capital flight will.

San Francisco is a dysfunctional city.

The radical left wants society to be dysfunctional.  Seriously that is their goal.  They want a communist revolution and the more lawless and dysfunctional they can make society, the more they can demoralize people so they lose faith in society, the more they can make unpayable demands...  All of that makes a revolution more likely which is what they want.

Now, they think they will be in charge after a revolution but die hard communism believers and revolutionaries are the first ones executed by the new regime.  They want to purge the useful idiots and the dysfunctional violent malcontents so the new regime will put those people against the wall first.

It turns out sky high taxes, over regulation of everything, causing the worst in the lower 48 cost of living is bad for the economy.  California's job growth is worst in the nation.

California Man Caught Eating Severed Human Leg After Allegedly Swiping It From Train Accident

A man was caught Friday in Wasco, California appearing to eat a severed human leg after he allegedly stole it from a train accident scene, video footage shows.

Video posted online captured a man, who is believed to be 27-year-old Resendo Tellez, walking around with a severed leg prior to being caught by authorities. The man, who was wearing a large red jacket and baggy black sweatpants, could be seen swinging what appeared to be a human leg before reportedly taking small bites and examining it.

As the video continues the man could be seen turning around to look out towards the street and attempting to walk away as multiple police cars could be seen and heard closing in on the man.

Quote from: Thiel on March 25, 2024, 02:37:44 PMState Farm announced Wednesday that it plans to drop 72,000 insurance policies in California, citing inflation and several other issues.

Several years ago, the rumor was that State Farm was moving out of its headquarters in Bloomington, IL. They swore that wasnt the truth yet now they have opened offices all over the country in Red States. The lot in Bloomington looks nearly empty most days.

They swore that wasnt the truth yet now they have opened offices all over the country in Red States. The lot in Bloomington looks nearly empty most days.

Blue states are not giving companies much reason to stay.

The three consequences of California's new minimum wage law.

1. Layoffs
Blaze News reported last year that two Pizza Hut franchisee-holding companies had already filed government notices to lay off all their delivery drivers, impacting more than 1,200 drivers.

Now, customers who order pizza from those restaurants and want it delivered to their house will be forced to use third-party apps, like DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats. That means customers will be paying more for the same product because of the added costs associated with those apps.

"Pizza Hut was my career for nearly a decade and with little to no notice it was taken away," Michael Ojeda, a Pizza Hut delivery driver, told the Wall Street Journal.

Round Table Pizza is also eliminating dozens of delivery driver positions. A spokesperson for Round Table's parent company, Fat Brands, said such drastic measures are necessary to ensure the overall financial health of the business.

"This is the reality of today's restaurants. Operators are doing their best to retain staff and keep doors open," the spokesperson said.

Alexander Johnson, the owner of 10 Auntie Anne's and Cinnabon restaurants, told the Wall Street Journal he had to reduce his workforce by 10 employees to cover the $470,000 annual cost of the forced wage increase.

Another way businesses are reducing costs is by cutting employees' hours and enacting a moratorium on hiring new employees.

"I can't charge $20 for Happy Meals. I'm leaving no stones unturned," Scott Rodrick, the owner of 18 McDonald's restaurants, told the Wall Street Journal.

2. Increased Prices
The second primary way that restaurant operators will offset the cost of government-forced payroll increases is by raising menu prices.

McDonalds, Chipotle, and Jack in the Box have already committed to raising the price of their food. You can bet other national chains will follow suit.

How much prices will go up across the board remains to be seen, though it could be as much as 8-10%.

That's because, according to the Wall Street Journal, restaurants need to increase their prices 2% to cover the cost of every $1 in hourly wage increase. Right now, the minimum wage in California is $16 per hour.

3. Automation
Burger King, Jack in the Box, Denny's, and El Pollo Loco are some of the restaurants looking to reduce costs by introducing more technology into their restaurants to replace hourly workers.

Self-service kiosks, robot fryers, and automated salsa-making are just a few ways those companies are exploring how technology can reduce labor costs.

Greasy Newscum set up a union dominated state labor board which just mandated a $20 per hour minimum wage for fastfood companies.  Though he also gave big donors to his campaign exemptions despite also being fastfood.

Now Gavin is a partner in a new restaurant and he is only paying his employees $16 per hour.  Gee, he said $20 was "the minimum dignity anyone should expect" but when it is his restaurant then $16 per hour is good enough.

I aint really surprised.

Is the 20 dollar an hour fast food minimum wage putting a dent on Pig's caloric intake?

she lives off government handouts afterall

what a clusterfuck

20 bucks an hour.... and those idiots marvel at it like it's an accomplishment

Idiot Democrats and radical environmentalists demanded a dam be removed and removing the dam killed all the salmon the radical left claimed to want to "help".  Now Democrats want to lie and blame farmers who opposed removing the dam.

L.A. puts a 4% "Mansion tax" on homes when homes are sold...  Sales of high value homes in L.A. are down 70%.

As a socialist, I like the idea. But, any revenue they get from it should be used to lower property taxes and fees the city charges.

As always Democrats claim it is to "help solve homelessness" which never does anything to solve or even decrease homelessness.  Every single fucking Democrat politicians did set up a "nonprofit" which pays them hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to do absolutely nothing though.  So tons of the money is just being used to enrich Democrat politicians without them doing anything about homelessness.

They are corrupt as hell.

A lot of charitable foundations in Canada work that way too.

So many businesses and people are leaving the state due to the high taxes, anti-business environment, high crime rate, and extremely high cost of living due to leftist policies that the state now wants to sue and punish states simply for leaving.

Oh, and they let thieves, mostly black thieves, to loot stores and rob them so much that they go out of business.  The Democrats refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions and now want to make it illegal for a grocery store to close without giving the state at least 6 months advanced notice.

The stupidity is just out of control.  "If they are all closing because of our bad policies why don't we just make it illegal for businesses to close?"

 "Hey, the city is just a vast swath of empty business buildings because of our bad policies and now tax revenue has cratered.  What do we do?"

"I know!  Let us have a vacancy tax where charge the owners of empty buildings we put out of business to make up for the lost money our idiotic policies put out of business!"

Most cities in the States are run by corrupt Democrats. Most cities in the States have gone to the dogs. Our cities are getting there too.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on April 12 that a California county violated a landowner's rights when it demanded upwards of $23,000 in development impact fees.

The ruling curbs the power of governments to use the permitting process to force property owners to pay large development fees and is one in a series of decisions in recent years by the Court in favor of private property rights.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the Court's opinion in Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, finding that the unconstitutional conditions doctrine precludes the fees.

A step in the right direction.

That is happening everywhere. Fast food is not that cheap anymore.

In 'N Out is the last reasonably priced one.

This is how ghettos are created and the left is deliberately creating them.

What they won't tell you, because it is politically incorrect, is the the vast, vast, vaaaaast majority of the crime is from black criminals.  Not all blacks are doing it.  In fact immigrant blacks have lower crime rates than either Hispanics or whites, but American black culture has a massive problem with criminality, broken homes, and trying to blame everything on other people for their own poor choices.  Fact.

California is experiencing a mass exodus of its richest residents thanks to a new state tax that targets affluent residents.

California is experiencing a mass exodus of its richest residents thanks to a new state tax that targets affluent residents.

The plan calls for deploying attorneys to investigate potential wealth tax under-reporting, with litigation a possibility. 

Fearful and unable to sell some of their assets, affluent residents are leaving California in droves. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the state's population dipped below 39 million, which is the lowest California's population has been since 2015.

300,000 in fees for a single apartment!

just fees

but they just raised the minimum wage to 20 bucks an hour for fast food workers tho.

until of course, fast food chains are literally  BEGGING for AI automation in all aspects of their restaurants

This is what Democrats have done.

It is just a clown show.

I just love the way they refer to murder as "reproductive care"

And The probable cause to stop this vehicle in the first place was what again?

Yeah, okay, police officers will be guarding state lines with pregnancy tests because, well, you know, that's the most efficient way identify these homicidal cunts.

Nothing in the paperwork, payment options etc etc would do a better job. Unconstitutional traffic stops carrying pregnancy tests

are these people for real? And their constituents buy into this crap?  I mean, I'm sure that mental catatonics  like Fat Lily and Lowlifebud do but that's only because because they have the brain power of patch of sod

but your average California actually buys into this?
