California overtakes Japan to become world’s fourth-largest economy

No worries, nobody’s clutching their monocles over a slightly tweaked phrase, but let’s be real, it’s not the 'unique' phrasing that’s the issue. It’s your entire worldview, a dazzling neon sign screaming “I’m ripe for the picking!”

Crooked politicians salivate over suckers like you, ready to enlist your wallet and your vote in their grimy crusades. They don’t care if your brain’s rattling around like a pebble in a tin can or a brick in a blender, all they really want is your blissful, drooling ignorance. So, congrats on your special dumbass aesthetic, champ. The phrasing? That’s just the cherry on your hot mess sundae.

Before you respond, stop, take a breath and write something down, call a friend or parent to run it by them first. It might save you further embarrassment and Google time. Just trying to help, as usual.

How any MAGA jerkoff, being taken in by such an obvious con as the disgusting Trump...and call anyone else "ripe for the pickings" is beyond imagination. The Three Stooges could not come up with a more ridiculous skit.

Continue to kiss Trump's ass...and suppose YOU are being real. I doubt you will ever be able to get closer to reality if you woke lup.

West Virginia has 0.54% of the US population, but produces only 0.31% of the nation's GDP, so while California is over-performing on a per-capita basis, West Virgina is under-performing.

Wasn't their main industry coal mining? Now that it's been reduced, they are hurting.

I've been here since the 1980s, and have never been a victim of any crime, petty or otherwise.

And yes, I have walked around downtown Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco many times.

Anecdotal. I've done the same thing. Even lived in LA, SF and San Diego where my truck was broken into twice (and this was in the 90's, when California was red). I carried a gun under the color of law for 18 years and only pulled it once (on a parrot, of all things).

My uncle was a K9 handler in a DEEP, DEEP blue shithole from the 60's to the 90's and NEVER drew his gun.

Crime isn't the only thing that makes a shit hole dangerous and dystopian.

How much larger would California's economy be if the state was run by sensible, business friendly, government rather than a bunch of radical Leftist, Socialist, business hating retards?

Oh yeah, make something up and think it is real. Business-hating liberals made California rich. Stupid rightys cannot learn. The reason the right fought change is because the top are the wealthy, and they are making bank off the status quo. They do not want to risk what they have. The owners have no problems deluding the rightys. You dopes think people like Trump are on your side. You would think that buffoons flloundering would send a message even you could understand. The Repubs are the party of the plutocrats and super wealthy and that is who they work for.

You obviously freely chose to live in the wrong neighborhoods, because there are neighborhoods in Birmingham, Alabama, Houston, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee where the same petty crime could have happened to you.

More importantly, you said all of California was a dystopian hell hole - not that certain neighborhoods or downtown areas were hell holes.

Interesting that you compare LA, SF and SD to Birmingham, Houston and Memphis.
But yeah, particular cities make a difference.
When I lived in N.O. every house I lived in but one was broken into, car was broken into multiple times, office broken into twice, friends and family member murdered. Two more were shot and survived and I was robbed at gunpoint.

Since you left the state, and since Republicans were kicked out of power, crime in California has substantially dropped.

Okay, I'm starting to think you should give mom and dad's computer back.

You obviously had poor judgment about which neighborhoods to live in. My friends in New Orleans were never mugged or had friends murdered.

There is a lot of crime, murder and drug use in some low income trailer parks and smaller towns too.

Agreed. Uptown N.O. is a checkerboard of neighborhoods. Hard to drive a mile from one good ‘hood to another without going through an urban cesspool.

The only ‘friends’ you seem to have are on this board. And Dutch lives in Dallas. BowelWoman, UP.

The golden state is running out of people with gold. And like I said, crime isn't the only thing that makes a shit hole dangerous and dystopian.
