California is beautiful

[miketx]

California is a strikingly beautiful place, regardless of the commie scum destroying it. Just look!

But here lately I've started to notice that at night time, California is starting to look a lot like North Korea. Anyone else notice that? Strange, huh?

Shame it's going 3rd World. Lived there in the 70s and 80s when it was a paradise.

I was out there in the 90's and you couldn't even see the mountains for the smog.

You probably one of the arrogant members I ever met here in this site. I was in Houston one time and it’s better than San Bernardino smog.

smog problem in texas pictures - Google Search

That's right loser, keep attacking me because you live in a sewer infested by cockroaches you have elected. Whataboutism is great isn't it but the topic is the mess in California you helped create. As far as Houston, I lived there in the 70's and it wasn't like that. Now that the democrats control it, it's a crime infested progressive crap hole.

Loser? You are a loser and a liar posting garbage bashing where people live.
Is that makes your limp dick bigger?

Attacking you? If you don’t stop posting displaying what kind of an asshole you are we won’t be having this garbage discussion.

You attacked smog in Ca but you have also a smog problem in Texas. That shows you are A ignorant, B you are just plain arrogant, C you are stupid.

So you don’t live in Houston anymore. A is that mean Houston is not part of Texas, B is that mean Texas don’t have a smog problems, C you are stupid.

I can't help that you seem to enjoy defending a state where defecating in the street is allowed and the open use of intravenous illegal drugs are as well, and the leaving the needles on the street. I already addressed the Houston issue but you can't seem to let it go. We are talking about how democrats have ruined California. Might they ruin Texas? Yep. but so far we have kept the cockroaches at bay except for Dallas, Houston and Austin, and Rio Grande Valley. This next election will tell the tale of whether or not the whole country gets turned into California or not.

 

[miketx]

It does matter. People like you are making the disasters in cali and in TX they are naturally occurring. Stop lying. You people are destroying what is left of the state and your lies won't make anyone who's not a progressive idiot believe it.

TheEconomicCollapse article by Michael Snyder. That article was written in 2012, and many of the facts are no longer accurate [such as some unemployment metrics] – so I felt such a legendary article deserved an update. This is the modernized version for 2017-18. I am also going to continually update this throughout 2018-2019, and maybe longer if it stays popular!)


50 Reasons Why California Sucks

1. California ranked dead last in Chief Executive magazine’s annual Best and Worst States for Business survey in 2016. Oh, and it also was ranked dead last for every other year that the survey has been conducted.

2. In 2015, the state of California ranked 50th out of all 50 states in new business creation.

3. According to a recent study, California is the worst-governed state in the entire country for two years in a row!

4. Even after Proposition 30, California still boasts the highest state income tax rate in the nation.

5. Even though California continually (Prop 55) raises taxes dramatically on the wealthy, state revenues are falling like a rock and debt is still adding up.

6. California has the highest sales tax rate in the United States.

7. California has the 9th highest corporate income tax rate in the country.

8. California has the highest “minimum corporate tax” in the country. It is the only state where a corporation must pay money to the state even if a corporation does not make a single dollar of profit.

9. California has the 2nd highest gas tax in the country. And don’t worry – if you drive an electric car they’ll still charge you a $100 annual fee for “offsetting your gas taxes”.

10. California is the only state in America that taxes carbon emissions.

11. The state of California issues some of the most expensive traffic tickets in the nation. It is actually the highest when you count in the insurance premium hit.

12. California has historically had the third highest unemployment rate of any state, and has the highest under-employment rate.

13. California scored 45th on “The Nation’s Report Card” for public school test scores, indicating significantly sub-par scores on Math and Reading and generally poorly educated students.

14. The state of California requires licenses for 198 different occupations (the most in the nation). The national average is only 96.

15. California teachers are the 5th highest paid in the nation, but California students rank 46th in math and 49th in reading.

16. California accounts for 12.15% percent of the U.S. population, but a whopping 30% percent of Americans that receive TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) and MOE live there. This amounts to almost 7 billion dollars per year.

17. California now has the lowest credit/bond rating in the entire country (Yes, it even surpassed Illinois).

18. Including unfunded pension liabilities, the state of California has more than twice as much debt as any other state does. Their total state debt (w/o unfunded pension liabilities) is second only to New York.

19. Average pay for California state workers has risen by 100 percent from 2005 to 2012, and 120 percent from 2012-2015. That is awesome news for those state employees, but it is terrible news for the taxpayers that have to pay their salaries and their pensions (Which we already have mentioned are currently unfunded).

The California exodus is speeding up

Bay Area exodus: Thousands more residents fleeing region than arriving from other states

Your kind caused all this. You.

mike there some die hard Californians here who dont like anyone mentioning anything that might be negative about the state.....those things to them dont exist.....at least not in that wealthy coastal community they live in.........

Wrong very wrong.
Like I mentioned many times. I helped homeless veterans as part of my passion since the 90s with my own money.

I recognized the problems we have here in California. I just don’t like people bashing Ca just to make his penis bigger. What’s the point in doing that?
What is the benefits in doing that?

You have homeless problems in Nevada or Texas and other problems. But that doesn’t mean they need to be trashed.

At the same time look at the booming economy and jobs and unemployment here in Ca.

actly,I have seen other posters come on and rag on californi ibefore and i have no problem with that.its just mike as he said is a troll who does this cause it gives him a hard on is why i have a problem with him. but mostly cause he ignores that the republicans are as corrupt as the dems harry.

Democrats control California. That's what we are talking about. Try to stay on topic and trying to deflect and derail it like you always do.

Dude you have no clue what you are talking about.

So now democrats don't control California? Well I guess the fix is in then.

 

[DOTR]

California is a gorgeous place. I never get tired of driving it. We are considering spending Christmas at Lake Tahoe this year...have to see if we can get everyone together. But yes it is full of lunatics.

True but it being so beautiful as it is,thats not soemthing you even think about once you go there and experience the beauty of it.

this OP is so much trolling here in all his posts,I have MANY friends that have moved out to BOTH LA and san diego and one in the beautiful santa barbara that you mentioned and they have ALL said they NEVER want to go back to where they grew up in here in the midwest where i live,

Scenically it is incredible. Too bad liberals have made it a hellhole else I would enjoy living there. I am amazed when we drive it. First of all its size. What a huge state. And the variety. Weve driven Hwy 101 up to Mt Carmel and then San Francisco and also Sf to Seattle. The desert at Needles through the Imperial Valley and then Sequoia and Yosemite Parks.
But it is run by insane liberal asshats.
And I will tell you something surprising. If you get into the interior they hate liberals like every other normal American. They are just unable to overcome the coastal oligarchs.

 

[miketx]

Now this hateful BS.

They must love baby killers.

 

[miketx]

It doesn’t matter asshole. You are just proving your self a disgusting human being.
Do any decency left in your worthless soul?
How can you even sleep at night under the bridge with your grocery cart?

It does matter. People like you are making the disasters in cali and in TX they are naturally occurring. Stop lying. You people are destroying what is left of the state and your lies won't make anyone who's not a progressive idiot believe it.

Your kind caused all this. You.

Do not expect me to even read any of that. If you don’t like California then you can just leave the hell us alone.

Yet California is the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world.
Yet California is the most visited state in America.
Yet we contribute $600+ billions to federal tax every year.

Any question?

California will be lucky to last 5 more years at the rate they are going. The whole mess will collapse in on itself from debt and crime. With the current crop on imbeciles in charge. It's inevitable, and then people like you will be wailing for the government to do something. I'll sit back and thank God I never lived in that dump.

You are full of cow dung. You don’t know shit.

California does not even comes close to highest crime rates despite with 40 millions + illegals in our populations. Not close.
Let’s make comparisons. From crime, murder to unemployment rates.



America's most violent state? Louisiana. What's the most peaceful one?

31. California

• Violent crime rate: 449.3 per 100,000 residents (15th highest)
• Murder rate: 4.6 per 100,000 residents (23rd lowest)
• Incarceration rate: 328 per 100,000 residents (19th lowest)
• 2018 unemployment: 4.2% (13th highest)



15. Texas

• Violent crime rate: 438.9 per 100,000 residents (16th highest)
• Murder rate: 5.0 per 100,000 residents (25th lowest)
• Incarceration rate: 553 per 100,000 residents (6th highest)
• 2018 unemployment: 3.9% (21st highest)





8. Nevada

• Violent crime rate: 555.9 per 100,000 residents (5th highest)
• Murder rate: 9.1 per 100,000 residents (3rd highest)
• Incarceration rate: 451 per 100,000 residents (13th highest)
• 2018 unemployment: 4.6% (7th highest)

mike totally got taken to school and proven wrong as always.LOL

Fake news.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Our disasters are made by mother nature, Californias are made by people like you, with no end on sight! Keep up the good work, stupid.

It doesn’t matter asshole. You are just proving your self a disgusting human being.

You know,the place where all the gas,petro products and plastics come from that YOU purchase for an inflated price due to your highly inflated taxes.

mike there some die hard Californians here who dont like anyone mentioning anything that might be negative about the state.....those things to them dont exist.....at least not in that wealthy coastal community they live in.........

Wrong very wrong.
Like I mentioned many times. I helped homeless veterans as part of my passion since the 90s with my own money.

I recognized the problems we have here in California. I just don’t like people bashing Ca just to make his penis bigger. What’s the point in doing that?
What is the benefits in doing that?

You have homeless problems in Nevada or Texas and other problems. But that doesn’t mean they need to be trashed.

At the same time look at the booming economy and jobs and unemployment here in Ca.

Pointing out cali is a disaster does nothing to my penis, liar. You can deny it all you want and deflect to other states, especially your lame refusal to understand the difference in natural disasters and those created by the idiots in cali. No, cali is a disaster, they have the highest unemployment, disgusting sanitary conditions in cities, homeless everywhere, covered up with illegals, and now your disgusting government is going to allow illegals on decision-making boards. More people are leaving cali than are coming there and you know why? Progressive democrat idiots. that's why. they destroy everything they touch. Plus the highest deficit in the country.

Wrong.
I’m not denying that we have problems here in Ca. I just hate assholes like you that bashing where people live makes yourself like big fucking bastard. It’s sickening.
Is that makes you happy and your penis bigger?

Highest unemployment? You are ignorant. We don’t have the the highest unemployment. Stupid.

Illegals? They probably far more decent than bastard asshole like you.

I'm not bashing where people live liar, I'm bashing democrats the idiots who created the conditions in California! Showing examples of it is more than you can take apparently.

Well who do you think you are talking to? I’m a Democrat.
Showing me examples DOESNT change a bit that you are a bastard.

You mentioned crimes and unemployment of Ca. You don’t even have a faintest idea what you are talking about.

Bashing California when the economy is booming far better than any states. That is purely ignorant in your part.

I never showed you an example of me being a bastard. Perhaps if you calmed down you could make more coherent posts that made sense.

Oh he just pushes bullshit, it is his calling in life.

Run from the cops commie!

I spent some time there and loved it . The people were nice and actually too nice and to the point that they were clueless and easily rolled over . The women were gorgeous and the men were oblivious to anything around them so I just assumed it was the carefree atmosphere in the state . The Americans were fodder for the new immigrants coming n from the south .

In the vernacular, that is what is known as your typical Oblivious Leftist Airhead. Do not worry, Mother Nature is about to effect a correction as California has grown too stupid, self-involved and corrupt to survive much longer.

Hey miketx. You arrogantly and disgustingly talking about the disaster here in California. Because you are piece of shit human being.
Did you ever look how many disasters hit Texas in 2018 and 2019?

An average of 132 tornadoes touch Texas soil each year. The annual total varies considerably, and certain areas are struck more often than others. Tornadoes occur with greatest frequency in the Red River Valley of North Texas.

Plus flooding in 2018 and 2019.

Our disasters are made by mother nature, Californias are made by people like you, with no end on sight! Keep up the good work, stupid.

It doesn’t matter asshole. You are just proving your self a disgusting human being.
Do any decency left in your worthless soul?
How can you even sleep at night under the bridge with your grocery cart?

It does matter. People like you are making the disasters in cali and in TX they are naturally occurring. Stop lying. You people are destroying what is left of the state and your lies won't make anyone who's not a progressive idiot believe it.

TheEconomicCollapse article by Michael Snyder. That article was written in 2012, and many of the facts are no longer accurate [such as some unemployment metrics] – so I felt such a legendary article deserved an update. This is the modernized version for 2017-18. I am also going to continually update this throughout 2018-2019, and maybe longer if it stays popular!)


50 Reasons Why California Sucks

1. California ranked dead last in Chief Executive magazine’s annual Best and Worst States for Business survey in 2016. Oh, and it also was ranked dead last for every other year that the survey has been conducted.

2. In 2015, the state of California ranked 50th out of all 50 states in new business creation.

3. According to a recent study, California is the worst-governed state in the entire country for two years in a row!

4. Even after Proposition 30, California still boasts the highest state income tax rate in the nation.

5. Even though California continually (Prop 55) raises taxes dramatically on the wealthy, state revenues are falling like a rock and debt is still adding up.

6. California has the highest sales tax rate in the United States.

7. California has the 9th highest corporate income tax rate in the country.

8. California has the highest “minimum corporate tax” in the country. It is the only state where a corporation must pay money to the state even if a corporation does not make a single dollar of profit.

9. California has the 2nd highest gas tax in the country. And don’t worry – if you drive an electric car they’ll still charge you a $100 annual fee for “offsetting your gas taxes”.

10. California is the only state in America that taxes carbon emissions.

11. The state of California issues some of the most expensive traffic tickets in the nation. It is actually the highest when you count in the insurance premium hit.

12. California has historically had the third highest unemployment rate of any state, and has the highest under-employment rate.

13. California scored 45th on “The Nation’s Report Card” for public school test scores, indicating significantly sub-par scores on Math and Reading and generally poorly educated students.

14. The state of California requires licenses for 198 different occupations (the most in the nation). The national average is only 96.

15. California teachers are the 5th highest paid in the nation, but California students rank 46th in math and 49th in reading.

16. California accounts for 12.15% percent of the U.S. population, but a whopping 30% percent of Americans that receive TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) and MOE live there. This amounts to almost 7 billion dollars per year.

17. California now has the lowest credit/bond rating in the entire country (Yes, it even surpassed Illinois).

18. Including unfunded pension liabilities, the state of California has more than twice as much debt as any other state does. Their total state debt (w/o unfunded pension liabilities) is second only to New York.

19. Average pay for California state workers has risen by 100 percent from 2005 to 2012, and 120 percent from 2012-2015. That is awesome news for those state employees, but it is terrible news for the taxpayers that have to pay their salaries and their pensions (Which we already have mentioned are currently unfunded).

75 Reasons Why California Sucks 2019 | The Hidden Dominion

The California exodus is speeding up

Bay Area exodus: Thousands more residents fleeing region than arriving from other states

Your kind caused all this. You.

mike there some die hard Californians here who dont like anyone mentioning anything that might be negative about the state.....those things to them dont exist.....at least not in that wealthy coastal community they live in.........

Wrong very wrong.
Like I mentioned many times. I helped homeless veterans as part of my passion since the 90s with my own money.

I recognized the problems we have here in California. I just don’t like people bashing Ca just to make his penis bigger. What’s the point in doing that?
What is the benefits in doing that?

You have homeless problems in Nevada or Texas and other problems. But that doesn’t mean they need to be trashed.

At the same time look at the booming economy and jobs and unemployment here in Ca.

you have a guilty conscience?...are you one of those people?....when i told you about the unemployment in the inner state counties, were in a good many of them the unemployment is 8% and higher your reaction was that i am bashing California....when i was doing no such thing...you were saying how wonderful you have it,i was pointing out that millions in the state dont have it so good and dont agree with your assessment....they dont give a shit if California is the 5th best economy in the world,it doesnt seem to be helping them....they pay taxes too.....

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Our disasters are made by mother nature, Californias are made by people like you, with no end on sight! Keep up the good work, stupid.

It doesn’t matter asshole. You are just proving your self a disgusting human being.
Do any decency left in your worthless soul?
How can you even sleep at night under the bridge with your grocery cart?

It does matter. People like you are making the disasters in cali and in TX they are naturally occurring. Stop lying. You people are destroying what is left of the state and your lies won't make anyone who's not a progressive idiot believe it.

TheEconomicCollapse article by Michael Snyder. That article was written in 2012, and many of the facts are no longer accurate [such as some unemployment metrics] – so I felt such a legendary article deserved an update. This is the modernized version for 2017-18. I am also going to continually update this throughout 2018-2019, and maybe longer if it stays popular!)


50 Reasons Why California Sucks

1. California ranked dead last in Chief Executive magazine’s annual Best and Worst States for Business survey in 2016. Oh, and it also was ranked dead last for every other year that the survey has been conducted.

2. In 2015, the state of California ranked 50th out of all 50 states in new business creation.

3. According to a recent study, California is the worst-governed state in the entire country for two years in a row!

4. Even after Proposition 30, California still boasts the highest state income tax rate in the nation.

5. Even though California continually (Prop 55) raises taxes dramatically on the wealthy, state revenues are falling like a rock and debt is still adding up.

6. California has the highest sales tax rate in the United States.

7. California has the 9th highest corporate income tax rate in the country.

8. California has the highest “minimum corporate tax” in the country. It is the only state where a corporation must pay money to the state even if a corporation does not make a single dollar of profit.

as i said before,i dont have a problem with people coming on and making threads about the problems california has as long as they are TRUTHFUL,the OP is not,all he has done is troll in all his posts, Look at this post for example,when charwin posted pics of the beauty california has,in cowardly fashion he made the BS accusation after being taken to school by him that california is indeed beautiful, saying that it was fake news crap as you can see in post # 18 of his right here.

California is beautiful



He has proven he has never been to california cause i was just there last weekend for the Rams/niners game. at my hotel i got a tour guide of places to visit and after looking at the guide i saw firsthand with my own eyes,those are indeed places in california that look EXACTLY like the pics he posted.

He totally lost his credibility there proving how he evades facts all the time when proven wrong ending up with shit on his face as he always does,

i got no problem with people making threads on the problems with california as they do,just with the OP cause he is NOT truthful as i just proved.

Not only that,I have a handful of friends that grew up here in the midwest where i live that live in both LA and in san diego,they have been out there for 10 years at least and they have all said they NEVER want to come back here again,to visit yeah but NOT to live.. I get very jeoulous of them all the time.

So, California is not experiencing man-made blackouts, People and businesses aren't leaving, people aren't allowed to crap in the street, drug heads aren't allowed to freely use drugs and leave the needles where ever, and housing isn't sky-high? That's what you're selling? Sorry, people know better. Your state is a proven cesspool and democrats are destroying it with your help. In five years it will be worse than a third world country, especially if the democrats regain power. I'm sorry you don't like it, but you helped create it.

 

[miketx]

More problems exposed in the golden state.

Democrats created the dystopian nightmare that is California

Democrats created the dystopian nightmare that is California

It takes a lot of resilience to look over one’s shoulder at California. We Americans are a proud people and love our country. We know we’re wildly imperfect, but we also have seen our country overcome difficulties to become a more perfect union.

California, not so much.

One glance at the formerly Golden State is a frightening embarrassment. The latest indictment of liberal leadership is the trash heap of Los Angeles. Literally. Despite the emergence of louse-borne typhus, Los Angeles can’t seem to get its act together.

Steve Lopez of the Los Angeles Times reported a week ago on the obscene condition of downtown Los Angeles, “A mountain of rotting, oozing, stinking trash … stretching a good 20 yards along a skid row alley. Rats popped their heads out of the debris like they were in a game of Whac-A-Mole, then scampered for cover as a tractor with a scoop lurched toward them.
So now it's the brown state?

 

[iamwhatiseem]

California was probably the most beautiful region in the continental U.S.
Today, there are numerous environmental holocaust where whole regions became desolate to provide the needs for a human population 100 times larger than the region can naturally support. Ironically, most of the population are supposed liberals concerned about climate change and how humans negatively effect the environment. Clueless, and brazen in their beliefs on others...while engaging in some of the worst environmental effects in the nation.

 

[Harry Dresden]

It doesn’t matter asshole. You are just proving your self a disgusting human being.
Do any decency left in your worthless soul?
How can you even sleep at night under the bridge with your grocery cart?

It does matter. People like you are making the disasters in cali and in TX they are naturally occurring. Stop lying. You people are destroying what is left of the state and your lies won't make anyone who's not a progressive idiot believe it.

California is a strikingly beautiful place, regardless of the commie scum destroying it. Just look!
But here lately I've started to notice that at night time, California is starting to look a lot like North Korea. Anyone else notice that? Strange, huh?

Yep. Been there. A definite microcosm of great scenic beauty. But not sure where you are getting your maps of light pollution, as an astronomer, I'm constantly up on the darkness and condition of night skies! Here is a current representation of the night time isophotic view of California:
