"As goes California, so goes America"
Well, we better hope not. Because --
The story of California in my life time has been --
California: from Leader to Laggard.
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
No longer. Who wants to Californify? People are leaving CA faster than rats off a sinking ship. Companies too. People and companies have had enough. Those that stay are not Grateful, just Dead. Because of endless green tape, red tape, buck tape.
Gavin Newsom, the CA governor who made this happen, denies reality. Harps on about the size of the CA economy. But that's old news, which he had nothing to do with; and in any case is destroying.
Today California is no.1 in:
- Highest cost of housing
- Highest cost of petrol
- Highest cost of electricity
- Highest grocery costs
- Highest unemployment
- Highest poverty rate
- Highest homelessness
It doesn't help that many of these failures are the outcome of well-meaning policies. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
And yet, Newsom is leading the polls for the Democrat nominee to the 2028 presidential election.
Heaven help us.
Adam Carolla, Mr Common Sense, talks to Congressman Kevin Kiley. About all this and other things. E.G.: the hi-speed train to nowhere that will never be finished.
It's worth anyone from anywhere watching this. Because it's not just As goes California, so goes America. It's also "As goes America, so goes the World". Much as the world denies it, because of their TDS.
Can the tide be turned? Like "Californication's'' creative destruction?
Destruction leads to a very rough road, but it also breeds creation...
