Too many good intentions and good ideas which weren't thought through paving a path straight to hell.And why is California broken?
Yeah.Too many good intentions and good ideas which weren't thought through paving a path straight to hell.
"Let's grow water intensive crops in a place with nutrient rich soil that doesn't get enough rain to support them" followed by bitching when there's not enough water to go around is just one example.
Hint: If you have to water it past the seedling stage when it's planted outside you're growing it in the wrong climate.
I was thinking almonds and oranges, but rice is a better example of teh dumbs.Yeah.
Growing rice in Cali is the height of stupidity.
Also Hollywood has caused local politics to go a special sort of insane.

Allowing it and California was a Republican stronghold for quite some time.And what relation do you think the California Government, and in particular the Democrat Party, have to everything that's gone wrong?
Allowing it and California was a Republican stronghold for quite some time.
Reagan was Governer of California before he was President.
It was entirely mismanagement.Yes, it was, and he was. So you think that government permissiveness, rather than government mismanagement, is responsible for California's current condition?
It was entirely mismanagement.
If anyone would know about making that statement come true it would be Reagan. My ancestors were GOP stalwarts until his administration and effectively said "never again" after he was elected President. I got an "impolite talking to" when I mentioned that I'd prefer Bush over Gore way back in Y2K.
Reagan wasn't all "peaches and sunshine". Pretending that he was is buying into the myth of "St. Reagan" who could do no wrong.You know, it never fails to sadden me when the man who literally pushed the USSR to destruction, on top of turning around the economic disaster of the Carter years, is the man some leftists find horrifying beyond all others.
I could go on, but that'd probably be getting into derail territory, regardless of Reagan having been governor of California.

California's GDP is the fifth largest in the world. If there was no US and all the states were independent countries instead here's where the largest ones would rank:Welp so much for the Democrats in Cali when the credit crunch hits.
I'm working on a segment of Newsom in the JBE TL right now, which will be featured in one of the latter chapters. The CA Gubernatorial Recall Election will be heavily focused on the TL.
