I could give a flying fuck whether or not someone gets the vaccine, but a bunch of idiots elected by a bunch of real idiots shouldn’t be dictating how all of us live.

You cannot validate the vote. This can be made trivial to do. But it's not.
It's because a lot of people "elected" in California, were not elected.
If you want change, you MUST REALIZE that the people placed in power are not elected. You must see the problem to fix it. I can tell you what the problem is, but you won't believe it. The problem is we aren't in a republic. You are told over and over again that this is a democracy, that it's a republic - it's not, we're in a dictatorship. A common propaganda technique is to repeat over and over again a lie until it is accepted as truth. This is one of the lies.

I agree with you but I also see quite large pockets of people in CA simply parrotting the leftoid talking points and all they care about is that they're vaxxed and that you are as well - I can totally believe that these people all voted the newscum/xiden ticket all the way.
I’d advise anyone under age 45 or so to get the hell out of California. It’s an absolute crap hole and getting worse.

You can believe that, but you cannot demonstrate that.
I'm originally from NY, upstate NY. The rest of the state would be dancing for joy and buying rounds of beer if NYC sunk into the sea.
It's the same in California, there's the PERCEPTION that SF and LA determine the rules, but I'm in the Bay Area - there's PLENTY OF US, who are disgusted with our government - yes, we in in a minority, but not a tiny minority. The perception in this area is how this area goes is the predominate thinking in the entire area, and that extends to the rest of the state. Likewise, the rest of the state thinks that what ...
A new poll paints a stark picture of life in the Bay Area and its residents' discontents.
Joint Venture Silicon Valley, in partnership with the Bay Area News Group, polled 1,610 registered voters across five Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara.
A shocking 71% of respondents said the quality of life in the greater Bay Area is worse now compared to five years ago. Fifty-six percent of respondents said they are considering leaving in the next five years — including 53% of respondents who work in the tech sector.

San Francisco says even kids as young as 5 will have to show vaccine passports
Kids aged 5-11.
This order is criminal.
Patrick saysThis order is criminal.
There have been no orders. Remain calm.
https://www.sfgate.com/bay-area-politics/article/San-Francisco-vaccine-mandate-children-5-11-COVID-16589184.php
The bulk of state, local and corporate mandates did not come down until after the FDA granted full approval of the Pfizer vaccine for individuals ages 16 and older at the end of August.
For children specifically, Gov. Gavin Newsom's statewide school vaccine mandate for children will not take effect until after the FDA grants full approval for each age group, and the Los Angeles Unified School District announced this week it will not yet include children ages 5 to 11 in its school vaccine mandate. Los Angeles does, however, include children...
They will barr 5-11 year olds from indoor events in SF though within the next few months, that's definitely planned.

Not when the Federal Reserve has a put under the entire housing market. Of course it seems logically crazy to do this, but where's logic in this market?
The appt might still appreciate but it's impossible to live in it while it does so. It's fucking Tenderloin, man.

Do you think these people are buying these condos because it's their preferred location to live? They are buying them as an investment.

They still live there, LOL. If we are to believe the article.

Yes, and they are mighty stupid for that. As was noted above.

Not me. Deflation would give me great opportunities. But since we will likely have massive inflation that will make my savings worthless, I'm boned.
... but yes, the bottom 50% of households are massively in debt, with no way out.One problem I have with economic analyses of wealth percentiles is the lack of analysis of transition from one tier to another. Frequently these are just static snapshots.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Multiple people seen walking out of an #Oxford grocery store yesterday morning with shopping carts full of items they didn’t pay for…
As Covid descended on California in March and April last year economies began to shut down and the debate raged over what businesses were deemed “essential.” There was a rather public dialogue between Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, and Alameda County authorities regarding the forced shutdown of the Tesla plant in Fremont.
This dialogue was punctuated by a pithy tweet from Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez who describes herself as a Progressive (Socialist) Latina Democrat, “F*ck Elon Musk!”
At that time, we had no idea how much that tweet… and that attitude… would cost us. Elon Musk rather calmly threatened to leave the state. The Governor was arrogantly dismissive, saying “Elon Musk isn’t leaving California anytime soon!”
Six months later, Elon Musk has left California.He has sold (or is in process of selling) all his personal real estate in the state. He is now a resident of the state of Texas. He has moved his philanthropic foundation to Texas. One of his companies, Space X, is based in Texas and Tesla is building a new plant outside of Austin, TX.Consider the unfathomable irony of in-your-face progressive/Socialist democrats forcing Elon Musk to give up on California?
Musk came to this state as an immigrant and proceeded to do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through Solar City and Tesla than all the “progressive,” "ultra-leftist," politicians in the state combined. Anyone can make a proclamation or talk about climate change. Musk didn’t talk about it. He simply brought products to market that benefited the consumer, the environment, and his shareholders.
He should have been the “poster boy” for the green agenda, but instead they turned on him and tore him apart because he refused to buckle to absolutely arbitrary regulations based on flimsy, most often ridiculous, medical data.
(By the way, automobile manufacturing is now deemed “essential” in CA.)
There is no way to know for sure what Mr. Musk will pay in California state tax this year, but it would surprise no one if he paid the most of any individual resident. Next year, he will be a much happier resident of another state and pay a small fraction of the taxes squeezed out of him and his employees while in our state. The damage goes much deeper than the tax revenue of one person.
Musk didn’t just leave the state. He “turned” on the state, as well he should have. It is now his mission to get other innovators to leave as well, as well he should.
According to the Governor of Texas, he is on the phone with Musk at least once a week, strategizing about how to get other CA companies to relocate to Texas. In the last few weeks, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Oracle have both announced they are moving their HQs to Texas, with 13 other potential moves in the pipeline.
This will suck a lot of the financial and social life out of CA. That is not to say this was all caused by one arrogant and explosive, sneering, leftist, tweet.
Plenty of other factors are in play:Companies are realizing they don’t need a highly centralized HQ, their employees can be productive from wherever they choose to live.
·The outrageous high cost of living in the bay area
·Governments inability to deal with highly visible issues like homelessness; 2,000,000 in CA and growing by the hour.
·Executives, their elderly parents and their small children, have grown tired to stepping over syringes and feces in the streets of San Francisco.
But the fact remains, CA state income tax is the highest, CA’s ranking for “business friendliness” is lowest, and we have elected hardcore USA-hating leftist representatives who happily -- often to the cheers of their leftist supporter -- lob crass, schoolyard, vulgar f-bombs at the people who are paying the freight. Half, 53.6%, of the tax in this state is paid by less than the top 1% (the top 0.91%), and many in that category are realizing they can easily make their living from anywhere.
Try to add up the lost tax revenues of having the second wealthiest man in the world and the executive teams of great companies, international giants like HP and Oracle, depart the state. We’re talking tens of billions of dollars in lost revenue every six months. Not to mention the philanthropy, which is gone too.
Today, not a single Republican holds statewide office in California.
Elon is also the target of typical Lockheed style anonymous defamation, like they did with F-35 critics.

The Environmental Suits against Boca Chica aren't accidental. I bet you $10 they are financed - probably via laundering in many firms - by Bezos and Lockheed and Boeing.
