California: Progressive Paradise

[Old Rocks]

They’re always looking to create some sort of ‘paradise,’ those wacky totalitarians, aren’t they?
Remember that great ‘Workers Paradise’ behind the Iron Curtain???
Now….the American version……California.



1.Did Longfellow live in California????
Maybe not….but he sure knew about it:

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.



2.“Everyone thinks California is our most progressive state. And why not? It imposes the highest tax on the richest one percent. It is aggressively implementing Obamacare. And it is standing up to President Donald Trump on everything from immigration to the environment.

And yet the Golden State is also number one in poverty and inequality in America.


3.If racism is more than just saying nasty things — if it is, as scholars like James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Michelle Alexander and countless others have described, embedded into socioeconomic structures — then California isn’t just the least progressive state. It’s also the most racist.


4.Homeless encampments of hundreds of people have cropped up around the state in the last two years. Occasionally, they are ravaged by hepatitis A,…


5….workers in California earn 11 percent more than their counterparts nationally. But that amount is not enough to make up for mortgage payments and rents that are 44 percent and 37 percent higher (respectively) than the national average.

6.Environmentalism is used to justify de facto racial segregation in California’s housing. Environmental lawsuits are a major reason for longer delays and higher costs of new housing. “The core legal structure of CEQA,” notes housing attorney Jennifer Hernandez, “protects the existing characteristics of those neighborhoods and thus perpetuates land use practices founded in race and class discrimination.”


7. Consider:

· In the name of helping the poor and protecting the environment, California has placed myriad restrictions and fees on building new housing units, driving up their price;

· Progressive local governments like San Francisco and Santa Monica block even those housing projects that comply with zoning laws progressives had agreed to;

8. Progressive leaders who daily denounce Republicans as racist have blithely presided over a significant decline in the academic performance of black and Latino eighth graders relative to their counterparts in other states. Today, less than 40 percent of non-white and non-Asian students meet state educational standards… When the cost of living is taken into account, California spends less on K-12 education than all but four other states.

9. A decade-long reform effort in Washington, D.C. showed that student performance can be improved significantly by rewarding teachers for performance and replacing underperforming teachers.
But California has rejected similar reforms. Progressives won’t even allow delaying teacher tenure from two to three years to ensure high-quality teachers.” Number One in Poverty, California Isn't Our Most Progressive State -- It's Our Most Racist One




How about changing the name of the state from California, to ‘Hypocricia’?

Or, should the name be reserved for the entire Democrat Party????

How about silly people like you admit that you love the ignorance and poverty in places like Mississippi and Alabama, and hate the success that is California.

California is now the world's fifth-largest economy, surpassing United Kingdom

California's economy has surpassed that of the United Kingdom to become the world's fifth largest, according to new federal data made public Friday.

California's gross domestic product rose by $127 billion from 2016 to 2017, surpassing $2.7 trillion, the data said. Meanwhile, the U.K.'s economic output slightly shrank over that time when measured in U.S. dollars, due in part to exchange rate fluctuations.


The data demonstrate the sheer immensity of California's economy, home to nearly 40 million people, a thriving technology sector in Silicon Valley, the world's entertainment capital in Hollywood and the nation's salad bowl in the Central Valley agricultural heartland. It also reflects a substantial turnaround since the Great Recession.

All economic sectors except agriculture contributed to California's higher GDP, said Irena Asmundson, chief economist at the California Department of Finance. Financial services and real estate led the pack at $26 billion in growth, followed by the information sector, which includes many technology companies, at $20 billion. Manufacturing was up $10 billion.

Yup, California is the promise land.
TRUE: California has the nation’s highest poverty rate

 

[PoliticalChic]

“Cali is #1 in poverty “ =. Russian fake news .

1. The article was from Forbes, you moron.

2. "Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?"
Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

That's the LATimes....



And again....Me: never wrong........You: a Liberals, hence, never right.

Can´t read because number of US outlets fail to comply to new EU privacy law.

Just trust me.....I'm never wrong.

Here’s the thing Poli. Poverty levels are actually tracked and the government releases thy data every year .

Cali is 35th. You can see how the highest rates are from a sea of red states .

List of U.S. states and territories by poverty rate - Wikipedia

1. As I have proven via both Forbes and the LATimes......"And yet the Golden State is also number one in poverty ...."

Progressivism in action!!!



2. One of the greatest examples of propaganda is the 'red state' scam.
Communism is red.....so Liberal bastions are red.

Conservative is blue.


"The choice of colors in this divide is counter-intuitive to many international observers, as throughout the world, red is commonly the designated color for parties representing labor, socialist, and/or liberal interests [5] [6], which in the United States would be more closely correlated with the Democratic Party. Similarly, blue is used in these countries to depict conservative parties which in the case of the United States would be a color more suitable for the Republicans. For example, in Canada party colors are deeply ingrained and historic and have been unchanged during the Twentieth Century. Red states and blue states - Wikipedia

Why are you so full of hate? And why do you attack the Great State of California? Your use of hyperbole and exaggerated (manic?) post must mean you have had some experience in every region of CA.

Please explain what you've seen, where you stayed and what experiences caused such an outrage, and your outrage statements.

More????

Sure thing.....



13. “Progressive and powerful public employee unions reward themselves with retirement benefits far beyond those of ordinary workers. Over 200,000 DMV workers, building permit employees, and other government workers collect retirement pensions at the age of 55 at a cost of $5.4 billion per year — an astonishing 30 times more than was paid out before 2000.

Back on Earth, one-third of the public have no retirement savings whatsoever. The median retirement savings of the rest is just $111,000. A person would need $2.6 million in savings in order to receive retirement benefits as large as those received by a California Highway Patrol officer.


… the state’s top accountants are predicting a $55 billion shortfall over the next three years. And that amount is dwarfed by the much larger $366 billion debt taxpayers owe in pension and health care benefits to public employees."

I didn't ask if you were an asshole, so please don't continue to prove you are. And BTW, asshole is not profane, in this case it is an acronym which aptly describes you:

• A is for arrogant;
• SS is for self righteious & snob,
• Hole is the fact they you lack the substance of human kindness.

That said, answer my questions! If not I will continue to see you in my minds eye as a curmudgeon who was dumped by a SO (I see her as a liberal lover who got sick and tired of your bullshit and walked out; and went to CA to be as far away from the toxic person your are).

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.



2.“Everyone thinks California is our most progressive state. And why not? It imposes the highest tax on the richest one percent. It is aggressively implementing Obamacare. And it is standing up to President Donald Trump on everything from immigration to the environment.

And yet the Golden State is also number one in poverty and inequality in America.


3.If racism is more than just saying nasty things — if it is, as scholars like James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Michelle Alexander and countless others have described, embedded into socioeconomic structures — then California isn’t just the least progressive state. It’s also the most racist.


4.Homeless encampments of hundreds of people have cropped up around the state in the last two years. Occasionally, they are ravaged by hepatitis A,…


5….workers in California earn 11 percent more than their counterparts nationally. But that amount is not enough to make up for mortgage payments and rents that are 44 percent and 37 percent higher (respectively) than the national average.

6.Environmentalism is used to justify de facto racial segregation in California’s housing. Environmental lawsuits are a major reason for longer delays and higher costs of new housing. “The core legal structure of CEQA,” notes housing attorney Jennifer Hernandez, “protects the existing characteristics of those neighborhoods and thus perpetuates land use practices founded in race and class discrimination.”


7. Consider:

· In the name of helping the poor and protecting the environment, California has placed myriad restrictions and fees on building new housing units, driving up their price;

· Progressive local governments like San Francisco and Santa Monica block even those housing projects that comply with zoning laws progressives had agreed to;

8. Progressive leaders who daily denounce Republicans as racist have blithely presided over a significant decline in the academic performance of black and Latino eighth graders relative to their counterparts in other states. Today, less than 40 percent of non-white and non-Asian students meet state educational standards… When the cost of living is taken into account, California spends less on K-12 education than all but four other states.

9. A decade-long reform effort in Washington, D.C. showed that student performance can be improved significantly by rewarding teachers for performance and replacing underperforming teachers.
But California has rejected similar reforms. Progressives won’t even allow delaying teacher tenure from two to three years to ensure high-quality teachers.” Number One in Poverty, California Isn't Our Most Progressive State -- It's Our Most Racist One




How about changing the name of the state from California, to ‘Hypocricia’?

Or, should the name be reserved for the entire Democrat Party????

Why are you so full of hate? And why do you attack the Great State of California? Your use of hyperbole and exaggerated (manic?) post must mean you have had some experience in every region of CA.

Please explain what you've seen, where you stayed and what experiences caused such an outrage, and your outrage statements.

And yet one more 'is not, isssssss nooottttttt!!!' post from the dumbest and most indoctrinated of posters.

Shall I prove that????


Sure.....you gave not a single example of anything in my posts that isn't true.

Can't????



Well.....let's move on to what you can relate....
As you senior citizens glow most when you provide your complete medical report, and while this usually bores me to tears, in your case I am anxious to hear about any ailments, no matter how small or insignificant, as one never knows what could develop into something fatal at your age.

I didn't ask if you were an asshole, so please don't continue to prove you are. And BTW, asshole is not profane, in this case it is an acronym which aptly describes you:

• A is for arrogant;
• SS is for self righteious & snob,
• Hole is the fact they you lack the substance of human kindness.

That said, answer my questions! If not I will continue to see you in my minds eye as a curmudgeon who was dumped by a SO (I see her as a liberal lover who got sick and tired of your bullshit and walked out; and went to CA to be as far away from the toxic person your are).

The vulgarity is your admission that, once again, I have not only bested you.....but put a burr under your saddle, you donkey.

As I proved,....and you verified......everything in my posts is 100% accurate, correct and true.

Environmental lawsuits are a major reason for longer delays and higher costs of new housing. “The core legal structure of CEQA,” notes housing attorney Jennifer Hernandez, “protects the existing characteristics of those neighborhoods and thus perpetuates land use practices founded in race and class discrimination.”


7. Consider:

· In the name of helping the poor and protecting the environment, California has placed myriad restrictions and fees on building new housing units, driving up their price;

· Progressive local governments like San Francisco and Santa Monica block even those housing projects that comply with zoning laws progressives had agreed to;

8. Progressive leaders who daily denounce Republicans as racist have blithely presided over a significant decline in the academic performance of black and Latino eighth graders relative to their counterparts in other states. Today, less than 40 percent of non-white and non-Asian students meet state educational standards… When the cost of living is taken into account, California spends less on K-12 education than all but four other states.

9. A decade-long reform effort in Washington, D.C. showed that student performance can be improved significantly by rewarding teachers for performance and replacing underperforming teachers.
But California has rejected similar reforms. Progressives won’t even allow delaying teacher tenure from two to three years to ensure high-quality teachers.” Number One in Poverty, California Isn't Our Most Progressive State -- It's Our Most Racist One




How about changing the name of the state from California, to ‘Hypocricia’?

Or, should the name be reserved for the entire Democrat Party????

Why are you so full of hate? And why do you attack the Great State of California? Your use of hyperbole and exaggerated (manic?) post must mean you have had some experience in every region of CA.

Please explain what you've seen, where you stayed and what experiences caused such an outrage, and your outrage statements.

You mean this great state?

Santa Ana? LOL, the home of the John Birch Society and the most conservative county west of the Sierra's.

That said, here's some photos of the extended SF Bay Area:

Odd that you are (embarrassed?) unwilling to post your location. Do so and I too can find some unflattering photos.

You didn't ask my location, nor did you post your location. Perhaps you would prefer Sacramento.
