hurricane/flood damages they've sustained. Meanwhile, Baron systematically separates himself from reality.

lack of appreciation for Climate Change. Just as the residents of Florida are having to deal with increased catastrophic flooding and hurricane winds, so too has the West Coast experienced dramatic changes...in this case, dramatic increases in NORCAL rainfall, combined with decreased amounts in SOCAL.

Check out the CA Rainfall Chart in the attached article...

event groups. That is phony self serving empathy

and his family live in L.A...fortunately not in Pacific Palisades, but uncomfortably close to Santa Monica, so my concern is genuine...and would be, even w/o family close by.

If we are going to focus on accountability, how about Gavin Newsom? He should be impeached and prosecuted for criminal negligence. Without question the worst governor ever anywhere.

deal with a natural disaster, who happen to live in a state you have a manic obsession over for heaven knows what reason. This is a monumental example of self-interest over concern for fellow human beings. Get some counseling...there's something wrong with you.

Seriously. People that a dump on California are just jealous.

It's a beautiful state. Wonderful weather, terrific opportunities, beautiful mountains, massive economy, great people. It is the Alexandra Daddario of US states.

me (the first is their so-called desert) among all their natural beauties. To be fair, they have mountains, i.e. they have mountain views, considering many states even don't have mountains and some states call their hills mountains. Also to be fair, I didn’t see/visit most CA mountains. I assume most of their mountains are basically similar to what I saw.

For every San Diego there is also an Oakland or San Francisco.

It's an OK state. Nothing more.

Ohio.

red glow under the night overcast skies from the steel mills. Part of Ohio indeed!

Assholes.

Of course California can be better. But the same can be said for every state, every country. California gets an inordinate amount of attention because it stands on the mountain top of States.

California gets an inordinate amount of attention because despite all of the wealth and the size of the economy, they're the worst in Opportunity and among the worst in Fiscal Policy, Crime, and Cost of Living.....most of which is directly driven by stupid policy enforced by a combination of elitist politicians and stupid grifters. They have willfully created most of their own problems by enacting policy that anyone with common sense could have told you would drive such a result, or refusing to enact policy that would begin to solve them.

But California has been getting more attention than any US state (maybe other than New York) for generations, not just because of the more recent crime and cost of living issues. It's bigger, it's better. Beautiful weather. Beautiful people. I get it. There's a lot to be jealous of. Now that they're having problems because of some misguided liberal intentions, people want to pile on. People sure loved to jump on California's population decline in 2020-2023 because it supported their larger view that it was in decline because of liberal policies. Maybe that's true, but all of sudden in 2024 California's population goes up by 250,000 and there's crickets from the mass migration touts.

California is not gone. It needs a tune up. That's all. Another Reagan-type as Governor will go a long way to cleaning up their current problems. Still a great state. Still top of the mountain in my books. As you know I live part-time in Florida now, but if California were on the east coast, I'd be there way before Florida. And that's no disrespect to Florida, we really like it. But it's not California.

Come on, bro…you know that’s untrue. California provides more opportunity for success than any other state, especially in my industry.

glorious as Rooney states, why leave?

especially if you’re in an industry that doesn’t produce enough money. I hear about mass exodus after mass exodus and our population is still growing.

Understatement. Each and every US State has its own beauty. To claim California sits on top is crazy but you have the right to say that.

and I’ve yet to see a state that is more majestic and beautiful than California. The mountains, forests, Pacific Ocean…

Where else can you go skiing and surfing on the same day?

People that talk shit about California are jealous, imo.

being a homer from living there. I think the same about Florida with how DeSantis runs this place. Imagine is California had leadership like Ronnie D.

He’s an empty suit in my opinion. After going up against Trump then kowtowing to him was funny as hell. RD also lacks the backbone to run a state as diverse as California.

About not having a backbone. He wasn’t ready for the big stage and may never be. Which is fine by me because we get to keep him here. I’ve seen him during hurricanes and how he prepares and is visible. Newsome could learn a lot from him.

And it would be impossible to compare running Florida and California. Apples and Oranges…no pun intended. Too many uncommon factors involved.

keeps winning and getting re-elected so nothing will ever change.

And that’s what DeSantis was after Trump got done with him. It’s hard for me to 100% support a guy who’s essentially a Trump lap dog now.

I’m a Berkeley post grad and lived in the state for years. I thought it was paradise. I still return to visit family now and then, but I never feel a hint of jealousy… just relief on SO many levels. It’s like running into an old flame and her current husband, who are both way over the hill.

I don't like the way Alexandra's left elbow skin looks, but I'll look past the smaller stuff to admire the bigger stuff.

land.

Funny thing….the socialist minded liberals always pick the best places to live….and then ruin. Because they are selfish and want the best without working for it.

Regarding your offer: you’re eyes are bigger than your checkbook. Though I would agree that any acquisition of such land would ultimately be a great coup (if managed differently than Cali is now) - see Alaska, you can’t afford it as a country.

Canada’s GDP is about 2 Trillion with a 1.4 Trillion deficit in 2024. Cali’s debt is now heading north of 620 Billion and counting. You would incur a full years GDP in debt acquiring Cali, and then you haven’t even paid a penny toward buying the asset yet which aside from its poor governance, is almost as valuable as your whole country. Further, the present infrastructure and policy causing the debt would still be in place, and nothing in your policies would do anything but cement the problem. Even more debt would pile on with time.

Even if California were given to you (which is what you were thinking because you are a liberal hand out guy by nature), you couldn’t afford it.

You’re shopping in the wrong neighborhood.

Don’t forget, Ronald Reagan was once a very popular governor of California. But as the crowding made life more challenging people began looking to government to solve the mounting problems… which only made things worse. California is like a woman who WAS incredibly beautiful in her youth and attracted the wrong kind of attention. Now her beauty is faded but she still has to cope with too many jerks

Canada is not joining the US. All this talk is just circuses, not bread. It's a distraction.

Also, your repeated suggestions that I'm a liberal are not supported by facts. Just because I know you aren't very bright doesn't make me a liberal. It makes me right.

He demonstrates over and over how much of a Bozo he is. And he believes everything his lord and savior (Trump) says. Sad soul.
