Only in California can you sit outside, enjoy a meal and watch someone take a crap all at the same time.

On the contrary, skilled restaurant entrepreneurs marketing to coprophiliacs have hit on a goldmine. And then there is the "Block that punt!" crowd as well.

Let's have some compassion and host a "Homeless Feces Tossing Olympics" to honor these unfortunate individuals. It should be a big celebrity draw.

California is definitely not 3rd world, just drive across the border to Tijuana if you disagree.

I step over shit on the side walk of South Beach, SF every day, dude.

Not even Manila has so much shit on the sidewalk, despite being a city of ~30 million. Trust me.

Why do you live in South Beach? I lived there 15 years ago, Portside building. Great outdoor pool/jacuzzi, gyms and aptmt w/ view of bay bridge for just a little over $1500. Farmers market just got started and the ferry bldg area, south beach circle and giants stadium area just got developed. There was even an all American guy whose very old parents had a part time aptmt there and he threw parties at the pool. There were pretty American women to boot in the bldg and one hot Australian chick who was laying out in the sun by the pool every day and never lost her intense tan. After a little over 5 years it was time to get out, congestion had taken over, you couldn't get out of the garage due to gridlock, shit and homeless started appearing on the sidewalks and a mix of more wealthy but ugly older immigrants and ugly tech hipsters replaced the hot white collar girls and even the hot travel nurses and the old and a little nutty (but always great for a talk) all American security guard had left (replaced by Mexicans who didn't give a shit like he did). I occasionally go back down there for oysters booze and view at waterbar but south beach has long ago started its journey to become a shit hole neighborhood, no matter what the house prices are. Still probably on average one of the better hoods in SF, few good ones left.

True article. Voting for corrupt democrats has consequences. There are maybe a handful livable hoods in SF left besides its natural beauty. I'll be leaving within the next few years, it's leftoid demise is unstoppable and accelerating. Still pays a good tech salary though.

CA is slowly turning into a FAGS and HOBOS state. Government and liberals running around promoting "LGBT+ friendly _" fill in the blank everything. homelessness through the roof. mideval diseases everywhere.

Los Angeles and San Francisco are turning into shit holes. It's frustrating, because there are too fucking many liberals who want it this way, they don't give a fuck how they are ruining a society. Our government broke a promise to families and all Americans here. I'm pissed off, fucking Mayor better get fucking recalled, that fucking asshole.

IF you don’t feed them, they can’t produce shit! Simple!
Anyone who has ever dealt with a feral cat situation knows that feeding them is making the problem much much worse. They’ll breed then, and eventually the mange will set in. Pretty soon you have scabby naked cats giving you the evil eye, and six month old kittens dragging swollen bellies with more kittens.
Oh and shit everywhere.
Same same!

Is it as bad as it is in CA? I imagine in winter all bums somehow migrate over to LA/SF since it's not cold here ever.

Oh really? Detention Centers for people illegally crossing the border are renamed "Concentration Camps?"

I guess that fits with the mindset of calling illegal border crossers "migrants."

Let's call schools "Education Concentration Camps."

Stadiums can be "Sports Concentration Camps."

And just call jails and prisons plain old "Concentration Camps."

Where's Hillary?

Does anyone respond to you? Repeal of the 2A would just result in homicides of a different manner. Have you read about all the knife problems in Londanistan?

Oracle spent 36 billions on buybacks. Revenues around $40 billions, R&D less than $6 billions.

some guy said something on internet, hold the press!

HEYYOU says

"The conditions described by doctors, lawyers and others who have witnessed first-hand the camps holding detained asylum seekers—sleeping on bare concrete, deprivation of food, sleep, hygienic conditions—are techniques of torture and, whatever the opinions of a Cheney or a Yoo, are against United States law and treaties of which the US is signatory ."

Boycott all Republican businesses,slime Republican friends & family.

I just heard same shit on NPR 0 fucks given. Probably same conditions from the shit hole they came from. Put them on a plane and send them back, we have enough poor and homeless we need to take care of first.

Ft Lauderdale just widened i95 Northbound through Pompano. The last 5 years I've taken it, it's been a slow commute as it would bottle neck around Commercial through Cypress Creek. They added a lane, and now that it is done and before the Express lane goes in. I am trying to get as much video footage I can of it. As the traffic flows smothly and freely all hours of the day. Unless there is a wreck or some external situation creating a delay.
The plan is now that they are done. Before we needed one lane to make it flow smoothly. Now they are going to take that new lane along with one of the existing lanes. And compress the traffic down to just 3 lanes. Just like they did Southbound around Broward, Davie and 595 as a result there is never time of day where that stretch is not having bumper to bumper delays.

They want us sitting in traffic they created, to drive us to a shitty public transportation. Public transportation that doesn't go everywhere in South Florida, not a direct feasible way.
While the Idiots on NPR laughs about the Troubles they created.

Deplorables are now and forever programmed to distrust the mainstream media. We may still fall for fake news, but it’ll be right wing news that (while fake) confirms our bias against Democrats and their perfidy. And this is redundant. Even a cursory examination of the MSM reveals wanton bias, ridiculous exaggeration, and unfounded statements having no basis in reality. Furthermore, they frequently have guest pundits who are actually lobbyists for the war industry or the financial industry or otherwise extremely conflicted people telling us their version of the situation with NOTHING even faintly resembling counter argument or serious questions from the “journalists” who are reputedly interviewing them!
It’s just propaganda, and Deplorables are now seeing it for what it is. That shit ain’t gonna work on us any longer!

I love being "deplorable"; I may have been my whole life for all I know.

I definitely have distrusted the media; now I despise it.

Let's see, Newsom is raising the gasoline tax again in California to buy health care for illegals. Which idiot do you know who approves of that?

A cellphone is not a necessity.

Run by planners who have a utopian view of a world where everyone will walk, ride bikes or take public transit wherever they need to go.

Problem is that the last mile connection for public transit is a bad and sometimes non-existent. Until there is a fix public transit will always be an inefficient way to get from point A to point B. Cars will always be required to provide that last mile connection.

James Damore nailed the sole Democratic tactic: misrepresent and shame.

First, they lie about you, then they attempt to rally support for publicly shaming you on the basis of the lie.

It's like they have a deep need for cartoon villains to oppose.

The reality of what you're actually saying never makes it through to them.

Actually, bikes do really well for that last mile in California, imho.

Not so much in Chicago. I tried. Summer was miserable, and winter impossible.

I sit by a mainland Chinese guy at work. We don't talk politics much. He's let me know under no uncertain terms that he's a deplorable. "I'm a deplorable", with a mandarin accent. I really like that guy.

just_dregalicious says

Chinese

I have similar experiences with Vietnamese. They tend to run small businesses, and Obamacare turned younger generation into deplorables. Older generation is uniformly conservative

Vietnamese I knew the SF bay area were some of the most patriotic people I've ever met.

Booger says

A cellphone is not a necessity.

For many good jobs it is.

Childcare is practically free. Just nail one or more feet to the ground and the kid is safe. Same with food. Dumsters are everywhere filled with edible stuff that people throw away. Healthcare? Just shoot someone and you'll be getting great healthcare in jail and manicures and haircuts, too. Everyone knows that.

" 43% of American households can’t afford a budget that includes housing, food, childcare, healthcare, transportation, and a cellphone."

So let's keep the borders open and flood the country with poor illegals.

Booger says

So I guess that need is why so many illegals arrive fat and with smartphones.

First rule of getting news - always believe the enemy and outlets like Russia Today.

If it's a "good" job, then the phone will be paid for, doesn't change Booger's point.

If you are choosing between food and a cellphone, your poverty is on you for being a dumbass. Childcare should be provided by father/mother or family. If you choose to live in an expensive city away from family, again, your fault.

Maybe not the exaggeration I thought...

Unlimited, indiscriminate, compassionate immigration will resolve this problem. It is a problem of negative emotions, which must be stamped out of the Great Socialist Paradise.

You can get around Santa Cruz faster overall on a bike than a car on crowded days, if you can keep the homelessfucks from stealing it out from under you.

FortWayneIndiana says

Is it as bad as it is in CA?

Pretty much on par from what I've seen. Maybe because it's summer.

just_dregalicious says

Vietnamese I knew the SF bay area were some of the most patriotic people I've ever met.

I'd say the same for the ones here in New England. Here's my blurp on the war & why I never accepted the nuevo left's ideology that the ordinary Vietnamese wanted communism especially when the facts showed that the communists, starting in '75, put at least a million southerners into labor/re-education camps after the war, instilled martial law, creating a refugee situation (a.k.a "The Boat People"), only eclipsed by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

http://patrick.net/post/1325271?40#comment-1598886

" I knew a South Vietnamese officer who was among the lucky ones to get out before the '75 collapse and later settled down in the Boston area.

His experience was that by mid '74, the average soldier had up to 3 magazines per week vs the usual of 7-8 when the US army was still there prior to the closure of "Vietnamization".

In effect, he echoed let's call it the Republican spiel, that the South was reduced to a poor man's war whereas the North was armed to the teeth. And the North did take their time, throughout '74, testing the South incrementally, making sure that they didn't have enough counter firepower before the grand offensive in the spring.

So I'm sure when 'rationing' kicked in, the ones who already had the pre-existing armory, didn't share it and thus, the fact that funds were getting cut from above, did abet the collapse of the South's defenses."

It's an insult to call us third world. We have world class garbage.
