Everyone so mad at California because why? Our housing prices so high? We have homeless people? We have human shït on the streets of San Francisco? Full of Liberals and snowflakes? So what! I’m happy here. California carries one of the countries largest revenue streams and we’re proud of it. No we aren’t perfect. But STFU about us being libtards and snowflakes. Getting old. Besides, I probably make way more money than you but I don’t go around shoving it down everyone’s throats.

@Diabolik, dude, when something Is wrong it’s the correct thing to do to call it out. Nobody cares if you’re happy there or make money. That’s an idiotic thing to say. We hate California because it’s Corrupt, and ruining one of the most amazing places on earth. Why do 50% of all homeless live in CA?

@big freedom, Aight I’m not really here to defend the guy who started the thread, but having lived in California my whole life I feel like I’m allowed to try to defend it at least, even if I’m bad at it. California is far less corrupt then the rest of our government, and corruption is always going to be present no matter where you live, and we have many laws protecting our national parks and are proud to keep defending it from politicians and organizations trying to destroy it. And if you were to ask a homeless person here where they came from 80% of the time they won’t be from California, they moved here because it’s far easier to survive on the streets here than in Arizona or Washington, where the summer or winter will kill you without shelter. That’s the best I got though, feel free to rip me apart. Edit: sorry about the grammar, I’m too lazy make it correct.

@Hackerman, I lived in CA for 15 years. It is becoming more and more corrupt every day. Don’t accept it. Stamp it out. The homeless population is skyrocketing! It is because of policy. Climate hasn’t changed, but policy has. SF just elected a weather underground terrorist as the DA. The chief prosecutor has never prosecuted a single case ever, is the son of terrorists and worked for Hugo Chavez. CA is a one party banana republic that has to turn the power off when it’s windy... because the corrupt advisory board was literally paid off by PG&E.

@Hackerman, I still like California, but it’s getting absurd. My daily drive to school pisses me off now because every time I go, I have to see the fact that they changed the carpool lane to a toll lane that charges even during non-carpool hours... I’m okay with private toll roads, I don’t like them but I understand, but changing the publicly funded carpool lane to toll? Even during non-carpool hours?

@big freedom, they’ve still not struck down the legislation passed in Los Angeles, coming into effect January 1st, that limits freelance journalists to 35 articles per year. Starting next year things are going to get even worse, at least in part of CA, because now most people won’t even hear about the garbage before it happens. Plague, rampant homelessness, uncleaned garbage and human waste, and their focus is on celebrity gossip and stifling the few facets of free press that aren’t already hopelessly corrupt. Im going to be spending the holidays in LA, and I can’t wait (/s) to see how many ways that California is on fire. It’s ironic how obsessed Hollywood is with the dumpster fire in the White House given the whole state is becoming more and more of a literal dumpster fire.

@big freedom, Are you telling someone else how to run their State? Cos that sounds like you’re trying to impinge on their democratic freedom...... 😝 But seriously though - what the actual f**k was that with the power lines? “As maintenance costs money, our power lines will literary unleash the fires of hell if it gets windy. But rather than fix the problem, we’re going to turn off the power to half the State.” How do they get away with that? Is that even legal?

@big freedom, it’s interesting the differences in what is considered acceptable for politicians in different countries - in the US, politicians take massive ‘campaign contributions’ freely, but here political careers have been ended for taking a few hundred points to ask a question in Parliament. Over there, infidelity can be a scandalous career ender, here a married senior politician got suspended (on full pay) for a few months when he was caught agreeing to buy drugs for the male prostitutes he had hired for the night. Lovely bunch, all round.

@Kyler15, that one's a bit of a stretch. I live very nice, content, and comfortable in southern Cali and I make about 100k a year. If you give me more than double that per year I would live like a damn king here. Not taking anything away from the midwest. I'm sure you can live great with 50k a year, and I get where you're coming from. That is pretty exaggerated, though.
For my 21st birthday I visited Paris for the first time. On the day I arrived I saw a guy emptying his bowels into an open lidded gas main. Ass open to the air and shameless.
