Gavin Newsome is Proud that California is First in many categories......

[Libhater]

#1 in homelessness

#1 in public deification

#1 in tent cities among sidewalks and public places

#1 in highest income tax in America

#1 for highest sales tax in America

#1 highest gas tax in the country

#1 highest electricity rates in the Continental United States

My warning to Republicans is that beware of Newscum's obvious run for the 2028 presidency,
because he has quite a few firsts from his home state of California in which to use on his campaign trail.

Ranked high in world's economy. Texas failed at the power grid.

It must be sore for you. Like a cultist you only see the good in Trump and MAGA.

Your hatred for the Left is visible.

California is 4th in world's economy headed towards being 5th and falling. Texas, thanks largely to T. Boone Pickens is big on wind power that is causing them--not to the level California has hit--to have blackouts and an unreliable grid. California is actively pursuing more wind and solar and as they do their grid is increasingly unstable and unaffordable.

I don't so you fail on that.

Your hatred for the Left is visible.

Thank god for that!

Thanks for admitting it has great economy. Your prediction is merely your opinion.

You could have fooled me because all you do is defending Trump and MAGA at every opportunity and criticism.

Thank God for your hatred? Sad.

Actually, it would probably be closer to third or third and not headed for fifth if the Democrats weren't running things. California is on a slow-motion train wreck to becoming the West Coast "rust belt" / Detroit. California is driving off business. It has already destroyed many industries that do manufacturing. It is trying to kill off the oil and gas industry now. High tech chip manufacturers won't even consider building there.

It's no different than what happened in the Rust Belt or Detroit. Democrats and the Left got in charge and entrenched in power. They then raised taxes and spending through the rafters on big corporations and The Rich to pay for grandiose socialist schemes. Government piled on the regulations and laws in the name of NIMBYism and things like a "clean environment." Those attracted the worthless and non-productive. Those with money or success left for friendlier shores. Everything fell into ruin.

It doesn't happen overnight. Detroit took decades of that abuse to end up failing and that was on a single industry. California had more and the death is taking longer. But it is inevitable. The Left can't help themselves. They'll keep raising taxes and robbing the successful to pay for pipedreams like high-speed rail. That project won't stop and it will never come close to a profit. Instead, it'll lose billions, and the government will simply rob everyone to pay for the loss.

California was built by govt. spending; they rely on stealing water from as far away as Colorado to keep LA in water, and rely on govt. welfare spending to keep their illegals and anchor babies fed, and in turn rely on them for Congressional seats. Their middle class and most industries are fleeing en masse. They are merely a pass through state servicing the slave labor economies of the Pac-Rim police states, ripping off a piece of the shipping to the other states. Southern CAlifornia looks like a giant grave pit as it is, and when it loses its power in Congress it will revert back to desert.

The U.S. needs to only build a wall along the Mexican border but around southern Cal, and keep them from trashing the rest of the country with their Hollywood doper mentality.

California does not have it's own grid. It's part of the WRIC. They do not generate much power at all, so they import almost all of it on two heavily overloaded lines. It's only a matter of time before one of them fails, and the WRIC will be forced to disconnect California. The WRIC will not sacrifice itself to save California.

California's economy is failing. People are fleeing. Whole ranches have been just utterly abandoned. I don't like driving through it. It's grim.
