It's really unbelievable that all the real nasty ones [politicians] come from California too... Sure we have our filth in CT/NY but California takes the cake when it comes to the worst of the worst "government officials" sorry Chuck....But what the Hell is wrong with your state?
It shifted into a one party state.
I blame at least two factors factors:
1) When the state constitution was amended so the senate was changed from regional voting to popular vote.
At the time, I correctly predicted the outcome where the cities soon controlled both houses and the other regions were left powerless.
2) Cal Berkeley and similar educational institutions radicalized the student body and later used the Vietnam War to accelerate the radical left agenda.
I remember my best friend's younger sister who was raised in a stable loving family.
She was active in church and, like myself, she actively supported Goldwater.
But she went to Cal Berkeley and became radicalized--so radical she died within a decade in a shootout with police sparked by her political activities.
How in the Hell can you still be living there?.....
Nice weather.
I am going to assume that half of the voters in California are Illegals from Mexico..... What the hell else can I assume...
The other half get their votes flipped.
So you've given up on drawing and quartering, huh?

As to living in California, if it's not one thing, it's another.
Though we live just a few miles from the site of the lithium fire at Moss Landing we were blessed to be upwind and were not evacuated or directly affected.
I came across this article shortly after my initial submission of this post:
California's Lithium Battery Fire Spread Dangerous Levels of Cobalt, Toxicologist Says. Health Officials Haven’t Issued Any Warnings.FTA:
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control on Jan. 24 tested 28 soil samples across 8 sites near Moss Landing "where [ the]public would frequent the most, such as along pathways." Of the 28, 15 samples had cobalt concentrations exceeding 23 parts per million, the level the EPA warns is unsafe for children to ingest. In fact, 9 samples had cobalt concentrations over 100 parts per million—more than 4 times the EPA limit.
