Don't cop cars have some kind of automatic license plate readers now? I guess once you're in "the computer" as a drunk driver it gives the cop an alert whenever your plates get recognized by the fucking contraption.
Ess Eff lost $8billion last year in tourist dollars (and over 60,000 jobs). The idea that tourists will return in droves with the current state of affairs is tenuous. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I'm generally calm and not a physical fighter, though I can, but you'll get a right or left hook to the face if you bitch at me for not wearing a mask outdoors.
I said "Sure is" or something like that. But it was a trick question! The right answer would have bene to pour it out and say "No sir."
They won't.
Really have no interest in being bitched at for not wearing a mask outside and I fear that's what would happen if I visit CA.
I will keep pointing out that National Review was wholly and completely opposed to Trump from the very start and actively campaigned against him even in 2016. Trump and "the masses" are not in anyway supported by NR. This is a pretend organization. They want an aristocratic right-wing party with free trade and a large mass of poor people they can control. They were instrumental in support of outsourcing, moving manufacturing overseas, etc...Victor Davis Hanson was pretty pro-Trump. Alas, he might be the only one worth reading at National Review.

To visit or not visit SF, drop money there, is not a political statement for them.
Problem is it's still almost exclusively domestic visitors that go to CA
Especially, somewhat bizzarely, Death Valley in August with Germans.
Did that in August. Must be the partial German blood!
Mayor London Breed swore in Chesa Boudin as the new district attorney of San Francisco in front of a packed house at the Herbst Theater. Boudin won the election by a nose in a runoff, with oily promises to feel the pain of all parties to a crime, both victims and perpetrators. He made pledges to enact “restorative justice” and prison reform through “decarceration.” U.S. Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor recorded a congratulatory video message, which was played at the swearing-in ceremony for Boudin and the crowd. “Chesa, you have undertaken a remarkable challenge today,” the justice said. “The hope you reflect is a great beacon to many.”
The Americans you cite also come to the main tourist places too. It's not unusual for them to be outnumbered by foreigners.

I guess I don't mean tourist necessarily. But people from out of state on non-work visits. Maybe visiting family and not doing any tourist stuff or CA expats. The west coast and east coast are obviously the easiest to get to for foreigners, so yes, the percentage will be higher.
But given what there is to do in CA having been multiple times and what you list, there should be waaaaay more domestic tourist than foreign. You're kind of arguing my point really that Americans don't like CA. It's a 5 hour or less flight for 100% of mainland Americans. Hell, even Alaska and Hawaii. Americans should outnumber foreigners given the proximity and what you can do there.
Again, this isn't a bash on the beauty of the state and great weather. This is a ...
WookieMan saysI know most users here are from CA
It's fun to put in the last word, isn't it?
Enjoy!
WookieMan saysthere's no denying CA is going to shit
Last word. Youdda Man!
All still beautiful.
mell saysAll still beautiful.
Not denying that. I'm arguing the people aren't. Not you or anyone on this site. Your state is run by crazy people and 2 of the top 3 are running the country. That's problematic for us non-CA people. This isn't really debatable. People like CA, but it is universally hated politically.
It's okay to admit the place you live is shit.
People like CA, but it is universally hated politically.
I am not quite as skeptical of my fellow Californians now
The meeting were optional?
Sounds like a better company than most in the Bay Area.
