They had a chance to recall this POS and somehow managed to collectively make this idiot even more powerful. Fvck Cali as a whole top to bottom, they deserve every bit of their dystopian suffering shithole.

How did they manage to get so many consistently stupid people in the same geographic area?
Just like we are seeing in Colorado and Georgia right now. Pro economy Republican politics create a strong economy. People move there to be a part of a strong economy. Politics begin to shift as people begin to think they can bring about utopian laws to couple with the strong economy to make the place 'perfect'. Utopian laws begin creating anti-business environments. Businesses downsize or move as taxes and inflation get out of hand.

This is why Texas and Florida will be blue at some point without the Hispanic voting block sticking to traditional values. Your parents/grandparents didn't see California becoming deep blue in the 70's and 80's the same way a lot of people say Texas and Florida won't turn Blue.

That is the clip I was thinking of.

There are solutions, of course.

A shipping company uses ships that can fit, or they sail the long way.

Give them a reason, and they'll widen the canals again.

Is still a very red state.

No you don't.

All those people would flee to the rest of the country and ruin it.

It needs to break off, NOT sink, and secede from our country.

Just stop delivering goods to CA. Problem solved.




Or open up a warehouse 5 miles from the servicing ports, rail yards, and distribution centers and let diesel trucks drop their trailer there and use electric to move it to the final destination. Then use electric to move it from the port\railyard to the warehouse where diesels can move it the rest of the way.

Exactly, when they aren't getting what they want b/c of the dumb mandates they will cave.

Alabama just passed a law increasing tax credits for companies using our ports. Bring it our way folks!
