California is beautiful

[Bo Didleysquat]

I the daytime it looks like this.

More and more of america does, yes, as we redistribute ever more societal wealth to so subsidize our ruling aristocracy.

 

[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.

 

[charwin95]

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 most arrogant members I ever met here in this site. I was in Houston one time and it’s no better than San Bernardino smog.

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.

Nah! I don’t post any lies. I know you do.

Lying traitor bastard.

that you indeed are,no need to advertise it us all,thats old news.

Nope. You are a good example of a lying dishonest bastard human piece of shit.

amen to that,the understatement of the year.

 

[charwin95]

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.

California's financial condition has been graded F. But don't stop lying.

California

I don’t lie. You lied here several times here.

Read my post #49 again. Don’t stare at it?

Do you need a break to get your meds going? Sounds like it. Why do you keep electing losers?

Let me repeat it again.
You lied about Ca unemployment.
You lied about Ca crimes.

Business is booming better than any states. Far better than Texas.

So our leaders must be doing something very good for my state. Despite with the highest population.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

What I know with people like miketx that are always bitter or hate California.

1. Jealous of Ca.
2. Post pictures of poor homeless pictures just to make his penis bigger.
3. Piece of shit human being.
4. Garbage Trump supporters.

I was out there in the 90's like post 81 states. It makes no difference to me that you defend the indefensible, but people need to know what the politicians have done to that once beautiful state. You progressives are like the carpenter who says, "I've cut the board off three times and it's still too short!"

The topic is about the failure known as California, not Texas or any other state, and the terrible politicians that have made it that way. Try to stay on topic. Other states could end up like you, but i pray to God we keep the democrats out!

 

[LA RAM FAN]

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.

75 Reasons Why California Sucks

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.

exactly,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.

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)

That is fine with me. They can get the fuck outa here.

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.

Fake news! The hell hole you created will implode within 5 years. It's all over the country about how bad it is out there. Why are people leaving? Why are businesses leaving? Make up some good ones!

Here's a great look at just how SCREWED California is.

So?
Santa Barbara is a beautiful place. My friend own $22 millions dollar home close Oprah.

Texas.... who the fuck wants to move a dump place like Texas?

A lot of people escaping California are moving here, unfortunately. No matter what delusional progressive lies and deflections you spew, people realize what a cesspool California is today.

People like you who don't live there? Are they voting in reps you don't like too? OMG Mikey!

People like me who don't live there have every right to point out the disaster politicians and progressive shills have made of California. All created by democrats.

What god given right do you have trashing people?
Did god told you to be a Texas asshole?

Texas has a lots of problems. Does that make you feels good when trashing people that live there?

WELL SAID.

I don’t lie. You lied here several times.

Read my post #49 again. Don’t stare at it?
