When you have a voter population comprised of 69.5% idiots, what do you think will happen?

#3 Imagine the Pay-Per-View Cage Death Match Event.

In the green tights the Team Treehugger that wants to return California (and the World later) to virgin wilderness that can only support a few starving hunter-gatherers per square mile.

In the brown is Team Corruption, see the gold bling they are wearing and the trail of dollar bills. They want 'Bread and Circuses' to keep the masses voting for them so they can continue stealing everybody blind.

The Winner of the Cage Match gets the dwindling pile of Other Peoples Money™. Let the Fight Begin!

#5 NN2N1 and Chris, I grin and bear it. I still have an internal combustion engine in my car and the heat doesn't seem to bother me all that much. No, we're not all idiots. In all fairness, our local TV and newspapers never mention simple facts like how the state's population has doubled without any corresponding additions to infrastructure. They're busy working, paying their bills, raising families...you know, living their lives. So, how are folks to know until something like this happens?

I dunno. Maybe it should happen more often.

Poor Mrs. Uluque freaks out if the thermometer shows anything above 70 degrees. I don't believe she'll be cutting our energy consumption until the grid fails and we're all sitting in hot, humid darkness...and NO TV!!! I suppose you could say poor me because I'll be the one who has to listen to her bitching and moaning about it. I tell her it'd be a lot worse if we lived inland but that doesn't comfort her much. In her defense, she did NOT vote for Newsom.

#6 Abu ... I acknowleage 30% of the state is still. Having lived in the Valley/Fresno/Kernden is generally sane.

#7 The few years I lived in California there were enough sane people to make it bearable. Things got worse and when I left I felt like I had escaped from behind enemy lines. The few I knew who were sane have also left in the years after I did.

#8 The "mandate" doesn't kick in until 2035 and will be long forgotten by then.

Go back and look at all the Green fantasies that had been "mandated" by 2020 and see how many of them have actually come to pass.

#10 When is Cali splitting into 3 states to pack the Senate? Wasn't that the plan? LA, SF and everyone else?

According to The Camera People, terrorists.

The batting average of The Conspiracy People continues to improve, even if this one was a meat ball - but its smoking softballs out of the park like this one which make the prime time highlight reel.
