  1.  @TheLazarusFL  I love that movie. Haven't watched it in years but you're right. It really is the perfect explanation of politics in America.

  2. That is exactly right. Also, state laws cater to the needs of SoCal (mostly LA and SF) and ignore those of NorCal.

  3.  @alainarchambault2331  That's great. Meanwhile, the state oversteps when it creates laws for 40,000,000 people that only need apply to those living in a few cities. Mayors and city councils exist for a reason. The state is way too heavy-handed in the way it dishes out restrictions for all.

  4.  @BbTenn  Damn. So much for "healthcare for all."

  5.  @BbTenn  That's just disturbing.

  6.  @firefighter1c57  That depends entirely on who is wearing said bikini.

  7.  @BbTenn  Assigned? That's crazy. We choose from a list of physicians who accept whatever insurance we have.

  8. When California is only one above Mississippi and gets its butt handed to it by Alabama, you know things are bad on the West coast.

  9.  @marknewton6984  Californian?

  10. They all know how to solve these problems. They just won't. Granted, some states don't have the resources to make the kinds of changes that are necessary, however states like California don't have that excuse. Their refusal to change things is all about keeping plenty of people voting for the politicians who keep them reliant on the state for their income. California's super-majority gets to pass all manner of terrible laws, and spend their way from a $200,000,000,000 surplus to a $65,000,000,000 deficit in just three years, because the majority aren't willing to vote against the people who provide them with government assistance.

  11. So, if you want to live in a better state than California, just move to any state that isn't Mississippi, Arkansas, or Louisiana. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Having lived in California for 27 years, it's incredibly sad to see just how bad it has gotten. There was so much promise there and it's pretty much all gone. Eventually, all that's going to be left is homeless, criminals, and victims. The rich will leave once there's no one left to serve them lattes and mow their golf courses. Come to think of it, that's probably why they're so soft on immigration. They see the writing on the wall and they need a new labor force to replace the one that's leaving. Wait. A bunch of rich Democrats with a foreign, dark-skinned workforce, working for far less than standard wages. Maybe that's why most of the South ranks higher than California. While those states are progressing forward (albeit slowly) California is adopting the role of being the new Confederacy.

  12.  @SA-hz1rs  That's, um...cool, I guess? I'm honestly not sure why you felt compelled to tell me that.

  13.  @SA-hz1rs  Great. So, a swing and a miss on your part. Good times.

  14. There's a whole lot of California where it's just as bad as that. It usually took so long to see my doctor when I was sick, that I just didn't bother going because I knew I'd be over it by then.

  15. Nah, they just held onto the rung they're on while other states fell down the ladder.

  16. That's only because they don't count all of the insane number of overdoses in California as suicides. I'm sorry, were you harboring under the delusion that so many people in California OD because their lives are so great? Then you have to ask yourself about the ripple effect. If people in Wyoming get depressed, get drunk, and kill themselves, and people in California get depressed, get addicted to drugs, spend the next few years lying, stealing, and otherwise victimizing everyone they encounter, and then OD...which state is really worse?

  17. They moved to California and went from calling them slaves to calling them "migrant workers."

  18. Until you have to leave said neighborhood.

  19. I fail to see how that fact is fun.

  20.  @WWeronko  You can get California wine in any state in the Union.

  21. Saying "Our politicians are better at screwing their electorate out of tax money than your politicians" while looking down at an endless sea of homeless people, isn't really the flex you think it is. We all know that California is great at victimizing regular people. Briggs mentioned how insanely high the taxes are. Those taxes are the ones that are being taken out of California and given to other states. You act like it's some kind of benevolent gift. It's not. It's dirty politics from dirty politicians. Why are you so happy that your politicians are bleeding you dry? You might want to buy your tent now, while you can still afford it.
