    While the Eucalyptus absolutely didn't help, a hefty chunk of California's native life also reproduces using fire. Redwood trees, Chaparral, and Manzanita, f'rex. The state is covered in plants that reproduce by fire and lighting itself on fire is just how California's ecosystem rolls...

    That's because he was too stingy, a measly 1.2 million in reparations isn't enough for how much suffering California Blacks have gone through. They're demanding 200 million each...

    This isn't reparations for slavery, it's reparations for an urban renewal project in the 50s-70s that displaced a lot of black families when the neighborhoods were razed and rebuilt.

    Must be nice to be a city as well-run, crime-free, and having as robust an economy as San Francisco, allowing them to come up with plans like this. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/14/san-francisco-reparation-plans-black-residents Several supervisors said they were surprised to...

    Think you can just go around following the laws in other states and California won't punish you for it? Think again, Gavin Newsome is done with Walgreens after they obeyed the law and removed abortifacients from the shelves in states where they were illegal. "We intend to be a certified...

    Interestingly, immediately before the attack, social media accounts with his name on them suddenly started posting pro-Trump, far-right, and anti-Vaccine messages totally counter to his previous history. This is in no way suspicious at all. We also now have a picture of his home, which the...

    The smart plan is to grab the $1,050 and then use that to move and spend it in a state with a more reasonable cost of living.

    Gavin Newsome is doing real work to fight inflation by giving everybody $1,050 stimmie checks. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/06/30/governor-newsom-signs-budget-putting-money-back-in-californians-pockets-and-investing-in-states-future/ 1. “Cha-ching! You just received a deposit.” Global...

    Yes, in truth Schwarzenegger is likely already too old to run again but it's broader than that. Term Limits are a valuable tool for the establishment. If the peasants foolishly elect the wrong candidate, the establishment can sandbag and delay until the term has run out and the candidate is...

    They're not going to do that until the Governator is dead/too old to try to run again, only Term limits kept him from reshaping California last time as they were able to delay and filibuster until he ran out of terms. Without that their strategy would have failed.

    There's a different reason everywhere you look. Because other residents complained about them. Because somebody said the tiny homes were an eyesore. Because the homeless might do drugs or engage in prostitution inside the tiny homes. Because the city has (absurdly complex and...

    A lot of tortured troll logic went into it. Having done some research earlier, the city claimed that if they have homes, the homeless may engage in prostitution, drug dealing, or other illegal activity in them. So apparently the homeless have to stay in tents instead...

    It pretty much started under Reagan. Previously to that administration, Insane Asylums were still a thing outside of horror movies and it was extremely common for people who didn't actually belong there to get locked away as "insane" if they were inconvenient for rich relatives. No trial, just...

    Meh, the Tiny House movement is a scam anyway. I spent a lot of time looking at it and examining the process from various angles because I wanted to see if I could leverage it for more rental income. Problem is, Tiny Houses are outrageously expensive per square foot. The actual expensive part...

    Posted with favorite comment attached. I'll note this bizarre measure was actually proposed by the Unite Here Local 11, a Union representing hospitality workers in California. It's opposed by the Valley Industry & Commerce Association, which represents hotel owners. So it appears to be at...
