It is not "conservative" to take away individual rights and dignity Are you talking about the mandates forcing people to take an experimental vaccination or lose your job? Like those kinds of individual rights?

@ozziecrosby2092 Voter ID is the only way to have fair elections. Make Election day a national holiday, one day, one vote.

@genesispuredeaf2390 He/she will be disappointed when they find out that in Norway they expect people to work and they aren't socialist.

I don't think attractiveness has any bearing on abilities Obviously you're not being truthful or you wouldn't bring it up. Perhaps you're more disturbed that not only are the Republican woman highly competent, they combine it with beauty too. You can keep the Maxines, the Ilhans, the Talibs, the Coreys, and the Summers.

@stefandavenport1588 And they're going downhill. California is highly dependent on less than 100 billionaires paying most of the tax revenue. If those people leave, the state government will collapse.

@judithalbay8920 1/3 of the homeless in the US is in the state of California.

@stefandavenport1588 Which climate change legislation are you referring to? Certainly the EV boom has busted already, car makers are scaling back, and batteries will not get any cheaper nor give us much range. Current technology is a dead end.

@genxunclekey California is losing businesses and population to Texas because of the cost of living, difficulty finding housing, homelessness, high taxes and a government that isn't focused on bringing businesses to the state. If you don't have businesses, it doesn't matter how great the climate is, there's no reason to go there except for a 2 week vacation.

It's so stupid that they manage to balance their budgets every year and don't have a long-term debt of $1.5T like California and NY

Maybe TX should sucede [sic] They seem to be succeeding right now. It's the fastest growing state in the country. And why would you be angry at "old white men"? They built the country you live in. Everything of importance in your life was developed by them. Weird take

@hopeemch8511 If the US cut it's carbon emissions to 0% (not net neutral, but actual 0%), it would have zero (0) effect on climate.

The administration admitted they let 11M illegals into the country.

@Lisazab The border bill was not designed to keep illegals out of the country. It actually legitimized illegals. Better to replace the Biden.

@stefandavenport1588 Actually they have a $100B budget hole this year. The budget surpluses are long gone; they were built up by competent leadership under previous governors.

@stefandavenport1588 "The budget is being balanced " It isn't. They have a $100B budget hole. Apparently Gavin Gruesome is looking for help from DC to help.

@stefandavenport1588 Incorrect. Those windmills and solar farms were built prior to the Biden administration.

@stefandavenport1588 Actually, the US economy didn't fully recover until huge deficit spending to support WW2. During FDR's 4 terms, there were several mini-recessions because money spent on government programs are always a net negative to the economy.
1
@stefandavenport1588 Actually the proximate cause of the depression was the Smoot Hawley act, but the actual cause was the margin calls in the stock market that made the whole thing a house of cards. While FDR gave people hope, none of his economic policies really did anything to lift the country from depression., and there were recessions throughout the thirties that are attributed to FDR's policies. WW2 and the the GI bill afterwards are what got the US back on it's feet. I recommend that book " New Deal or Raw Deal" by Burton Folsom.

@stefandavenport1588 Actually I am correct. According to CalMatters: "Millionaires and billionaires contribute a disproportionate share of tax revenue—so much so that the top 1 percent of taxpayers now generate half of personal income tax receipts." [note: most of CA's taxes come from personal income tax] Imagine if just 10 percent of those millionaires and billionaires leave. And you'd think.... Hmmm, surely they won't force the rich to leave the state by raising taxes on the people paying most of the taxes..... and you'd be wrong! I'll quote KCRA's website: "Assemblyman Alex Lee's Assembly Bill 259, which went nowhere after it was first introduced in 2023. The measure would impose a 1.5% tax on the assets of Californians with a worldwide net worth of $1 billion as soon as 2024, and a 1% tax on those with a net worth of $50 million by 2026. The hearing is set for Wednesday afternoon" You have bad government in California. And when people leave, Gavin will leave the middle class holding the bag. Best of luck for those staying.

@genesispuredeaf2390 One thing people never mention about these "green" energy sources is their lifespan compared to a nuclear/LPG/Oil plant is their lifespan is much lower than commonly believe (in many cases well under 20 years), and there is no way to recycle windmills or solar cells, so they're just buried like any other trash. By contrast a nuclear power plant is expected to last 80-100 years at a minimum and with upgrades can last indefinitely making them the greenest power on earth. The future is a combination of oil and nuclear for at least the next 100 years.

@tombielecki160 "JB doesn't have that power." LBJ could've gotten it done. But Joe really isn't a strong president, and now the mainstream media is putting it on their front page about Joe's mental failures. Time magazine and the WSJ both published articles questioning who is really in charge of the white house.

@stefandavenport1588 Vary your news sources I'd say "right back at you" From CalMatters : "California’s tax system, which relies heavily on the wealthy for state income, is prone to boom-and-bust cycles. While it delivers big returns from the rich whenever Wall Street goes on a bull run, it forces state and local governments to cut services, raise taxes or borrow money in a downturn. During the Great Recession, the capital-gains taxes that sustained the state in good times plummeted. School districts handed out 30,000 pink slips to teachers, and the state was so cash-strapped it gave out IOUs when it couldn’t pay some of its bills." The result? "According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office [of California], half of the state’s personal income tax revenue comes from those making $500,000 or more. Conversely, households making $50,000 or less make up nearly 60 percent of tax filings but make up just 2 percent of revenue."

@dcongdon2294 They don't really care. They're so dumb they don't realize the United States isn't a democracy nor has it every been a democracy.

Why would someone pay you to live anywhere?

They tried but the Biden Administration wants lots more illegals to come into the country, so they're suing Texas

Are you referring to Ann "Skelator" Richards? Her best year was 2006.

The way you care about working people is you ensure the business climate is good so they have a lot of opportunity to earn money. The government isn't your mommy or your daddy. It's not the government's job to take care of you, there is a level of compassion for the broken and the unwell from the taxpayers , but beyond that, you need to figure out how to support yourself in life.

@zoer7338 Is that because everyone who disagrees with you is literally Putin?

Actually it was the power of the computer to look at all voter demographics and geography and manage how candidates campaign and where money is spent. In other words, candidates didn't look at whole states, they looked down at the block level to understand where potential voters were located. I met the man who basically invented this system; he worked for Obama.
