…the fourth largest economy IN THE WORLD, not in the United States.  Only the US, China, and Germany have better economies than California.  

 
Yet this is what some TER righties think of California:

 
willy - 8/23/24, 7:20:42 AM:
“… people are shitting all over the streets…”
“… businesses are closing because they legalized theft…”
“… there’s homeless meth heads all over the place.. “

 
CDL - 12/26/24, 10:58:37 AM:
“This is why California is a shit-hole now.  Because of the Democrat super-majority in the legislature for the past 20 years, taxes are higher than average, large cities are turning into slums and the climate-change grift is sucking up money that could be better-spent on other projects…”

 
I can forgive willy - he lives 3,000 miles away and his post was equal parts jealousy and hyperbole.  

 
But CDL lives in California and supposedly has a 60+ employee business in California. For someone to have a business in California and not have his finger on the pulse of the California economy tells me he’s bullshitting about owning a business. He’s really just a wage slave sitting in his cubicle all day posting on TER and grousing about how others are getting rich and he’s just a broke ass bitch.

for two reasons, 1)  it's a reflection of the population being so large, and 2)  Most businesses take food stamps from poor people, so all of that Federal welfare money is pouring into California businesses and is being counted as part of the "economy."  It's smoke and mirrors.    

 
Californians earning $200,000+ a year are leaving California in record numbers since Newsom took office.  Most are going to Texas and Florida, both Red states.  At the rate that these two states are improving their own economies, it's foreseeable that they will both surpass California, even with fewer people.  There's a local real estate guy who runs a commercial saying that his company has named Gavin Newsom the Realtor of the Year, because Newsom has made more people sell their houses and move out of state than the next 10 realtors combined.  There is no suit from Newsom that this is false advertising, because it's true.

 
I live in a very nice part of OC, so I will be the first to admit that life is pretty good in some counties in California, but all I have to do is drive into downtown LA where there are people everywhere pissing and shitting on the streets to see the real condition of California.  Just drive down Alameda from 1st street to Olympic Blvd. if you want to people doing their toilet business in full view of the public or take a deep breath in any of the off-site parking garages surrounding Staples Center and you'll choke on the smell of stale urine and feces.  I'm guessing that you live in the Fairfax area which is still mostly white.  Am I right?  If you want to see "homeless central" just park your car within two blocks in any direction from the homeless mission on 5th St. and take a leisurely walk in this area.  If you don't agree it's a shithole just a few blocks from LA City Hall, then I will know you never went there and are just lying your ass off.

Today they’re moving further west in the Valley to Calabasas, Hidden Hills and Agoura.

And AI overview is confusing me even more:
 “After the 2020 census, California experienced a decrease in its electoral vote allocation for the first time, losing one vote.”

California lost an electoral vote after the 2020 Census and is on track to lose multiple votes after the 2030. This population decline has occurred while the Democrats have ruled with supermajorities or near supermajorities. Contrast that with the roaring 1980’s in California when Reagan was president, Republican Deukmejian  was governor, and other Republicans held statewide offices.

The state’s decades-long expansion reached a high point in the 1980s when its population exploded by more than 25%, from 23.8 million to 30 million, due to strong foreign immigration and a new baby boom.
There was a newborn every minute.

The decade’s population growth granted it seven new congressional seats after the 1990 census, increasing from 45 to 52.
http://calmatters.org/commentary/2024/11/california-political-clout-population-growth/
Granted the Dems controlled the state legislatures during the 80s, but there weren’t Dem supermajorities and Republicans even chaired State Senate committees.

In California’s current status, the population is shrinking, and so is its political influence.
Meanwhile, California and New York, which have seen significant population outflows this decade, are projected to lose four and two districts respectively. For California, this would be only the second time in its history it has lost representation (the first was this decade when the Golden State lost one seat).

Based on current data, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin would all see one-seat decreases
While Willy exaggerated the apportionment loss, BigPapasan’s counter that everything is coming up roses (“Oh lookie lookie, the world’s fourth largest economy! 🤡”) falls short once you peek behind the curtain.

California, thanks to Democrats, is an over regulated and over taxed state that is losing population.  Its economy would be larger and healthier if Democrat politicians were allowed to rule unchecked.  When scrutinized, BigPapasan’s claims fall short.

Couple other things people are ignoring.

It is that they changed what the census counts..... hence why TRUMP is doing his purge of illegals.  Once the census only counted citizens.  Then they changed that to count EVERYONE.  

Also with CA economy and "exodus" of people...  both in this thread are right and wrong.   The economy is good and strong (but for how long).  Tech companies are leaving which is taking away higher earners.  Retirees are leaving the state for more tax friendly states.  With more companies allowing remote work.... again higher earners are leaving the state.

So yes the Econ of the state is doing good.  But they are losing income tax base of residents.  Also they will lose other industry once some of the laws passed in the last couple years actually kick in or take longer affect....ie: higher min wage type shit.  Those are still in the "honeymoon" phase and companies are riding them out. Some bigger companies are only shutting a few stores in smaller locations.  But could possibly close other stores.  Think of how you would see targets only a few blocks from each other.... now they close one of those.  Now they might start closing more... only time will tell.

Then like mentioned about the possible electoral votes.  The purging of the illegals and next census could make things interesting.  BUT that is along ways off.

I saw a Shawn Ryan pod cast where he interviewed a woman who had connections with the Mexican cartel.  He asked how they feel when Trump designated them a "terror" group.... She said they replied.... We only need to wait 4 years for the next president for things to change.   So everyone beating their chests on either side of the political spectrum and in this thread.... Just remember that.... in 4 years things can easily change.

Here is something that liberals like to throw in the face with the TX and CA debate... with the federal money.

In that figure is the tax credits the oil industry gets.  So with the cattle, farming, oil industrial complex of Texas and mentioning about immigration and funding for protection of the largest border.  That all goes into those figures of FEDERAL FUNDING.

Again CA does produce or "give" to the Fed.  But again.... they dont have to defend as much of a border, have another huge industrial complex that gets tax breaks figured into the equation (oil/gas).

So numbers can be skewed.

in downtown LA, that had to close the sidewalk entrance to his clothing store and knock a hole in the wall on the side of the building and make a new door.  The reason is that the Mayor's office is no longer having monthly sweeps to relocate homeless encampments on sidewalks to places where there are no businesses that are open to the public.  He told me it's not working, so he will probably close his business of 25 years and just retire early.  Employees will lose their jobs and the state, county and city will lose their income tax revenue from all of the employees, and sales tax revenues from the business.  Multiply this sample times literally thousands of businesses that have gone out in the past four years under LA's continually deteriorating leadership.

100% about the higher income earners leaving the state. Dont forget about retirees who are looking for more tax friendly states.

What CA hasn't realized yet is much of the recent laws passed that haven't really taken hold yet.  Mandatory min wages,  new paid work leave laws, weak laws on retail theft (which I believe some might have been reversed?), etc.  All that will hamper business.  Then with the advancement of AI.  

What I am getting at is this.... Right now you have only seen a few "stores close down" because of min wage.  Those stores could have been closed down because of proximity of other stores....ie: target on every corner type thing.  So they were "expendable".  But what will happen is you will start to see even more kiosk ordering at fast foods, more self check outs, more "app" ordering, less people more AI doing the check out/taking orders.  ESPECIALLY as our society is pushing towards cashless.  Look how everything is going that way.  I was at a place that I had to put cash into a machine to get a fucking card to go and pay for food and beverages at different stands.  All because they dont take cash.    

So to end that long winded paragraph above.... those fucking laws really haven't taken ahold of yet.  CA hasn't seen the full extent if those will be good or bad for the work force/economy.   But as a business owner myself.  Adding $5 an hour for wages, having more paid time off, adding salary increases work comp insurance costs, etc.  All of this decreases the money I would take home.  So a few things need to happen..... increase what I charge, automate, fire employees, or close up shop.   I mean why should I take over a 15-20% loss in income?  I am not even including inflation, normal increases in property taxes, or natural increases benefits/raises.  What I was talking about was FORCED by law.

Would anyone else take that type of loss?

Now to expound on the Min wage BS.   Fed Min $7.25... now CA is a making you pay $15 an hour.  As a company you were already paying your workers $15 an hour.  What do you think those workers will now want to get paid?  They will want to be paid $7.75 more... so $22.75 an hour.  You know why.... because they are worth that much more that "minimum wage".  Correct?   That would be their argument..... or they would at least want to be paid more than $15 an hour because they are better than min wage. See the fucking issue.

Also with the minimum wage doubling the state/cities automatically doubled work comp insurance for all business.  Work comp insurance is calculated off of salary/wages paid.  So you double the work comp insurance when they doubled the minimum for all business owners.  That an expense NOBODY thought of.

So this means Trumps purge of illegals is a bigger deal and why elected officials in CA and other "blue" states are freaking out.  Also is this why Trump seems to be "targeting" blue states?

the 3.5 years.... loosing/gaining seats.    So is that why Newsome, Bass, and others are fighting so hard against ICE?  It is an honest question to ask.

The thing is Hispanic population values actually do lean "right" on the political spectrum.  Which if they vote in local elections could lean conservative.  YES illegal or undocumented people can vote in local elections in many states.  They can't vote in federal.  So taking away their right to vote in local elections isn't correct.  Like green card holders should vote for school board members of their kids school, city council members of the city they live in, etc.

100% correct.  It is happening in other fucking states too.  It is things people don't fucking think about.  They want to blame business owners for thing.  But with shit like that they are playing right into the hands of big business.  They are killing small business owners.  Think of a small corner grocery store.  Their work comp doubles from $15K to $30K just because of wages alone.  Then payroll doubles on low level employees.  That could be $50-75K out of profit the owner takes in.  Would you want to lose that amount of income.  If that owner made $200-250K a year... now goes to $150-200K... Is it still worth the risk, stress, head ache, etc.  Can they still pay their own personal bills?  Why force them to cut their lifestyle by 20% or more.  These people are not the 1%.  These are the people fleeing states like CA or ones force shit on business owners.  Or these are the ones closing up shop, retiring early, moving out of state and taking different jobs.  

What I am saying is you are fucking bragging up CA and its economy.  BUT THOSE FUCKING REGULATIONS HAVEN'T KICKED IN TO THE FULLEST EXTENT YET.

It is FUCKING FACT that business are closing in CA.  Retail is leaving or closing shops in CA.  The dynamics of Retail/Food Service is changing in CA and nationwide is changing.   I mean almost everything in certain area's of CA are fucking locked up in a retail store if you want to purchase them.  All because of retail theft.  You dont think that will have a cause/effect on business and customer.  Especially with ecommerce and why not just go on Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc and have it shipped to my door.  Don't need to wait about for someone to unlock a cage for me to get toothpaste and a razor.  Now wait for the laws to take hold....new taxes to kick in.... will business fold or stay the course they are?  Will more smaller shops close?  Will more automation happen?  What will that do to lower/middle income jobs?

What will that do to CA economy you are bragging about?  The one thing is that tech companies stay.... and AI keeps advancing.... CA will do fine.  But that is if tech stays.

He is talking LA not CA.

The head of the beast falls so will the body.    If business start to flee LA and don't relocate with in CA the "decay" of LA might spread.

BUT what will happen is that LA will sweep away the shit and rebuild.  Look at what they did to downtown Detroit (rest isn't as good).  Downtown is actually booming and nice.  Three sports stadiums with in walking distance, vibrant eateries, hotels, a nice place to visit and you feel pretty safe.  

But the scary part is what is being purposed with the burned last year.   People better watch out.  Don't want to be a conspiracy theorist.... but was that someone's plan.  

1. Make it hard to "build" on it for years
2. let it burn
3. now have "permit" issues because of the making it hard to build for years
4. sweep in and purchase scorched earth at 50% of the value
5. build lower income housing on it
6.  get government (state/federal) backing/funding on building/selling/rental on homes
7. make a killing.

business here that employs an average of 60 people at any given time who are dedicated to making me a fortune, because when I do better, they do better.  I will retire completely in a few years and will sell the business.  Half of the selling price will go to my employees, so they can choose to stay with the new owners, or use their profits to start a business of their own.  The business is one that cannot be moved because it requires proximity to the clients.  Otherwise, I would have moved to Texas or Florida 10-15 years ago.

The issue that many are not comprehending on this (both sides) is that CA does contribute.  Ag is a big one and tech industry.  Lots of advancement comes from CA.  If CA left the USA if would hurt big time.  BUT CA wouldn't survive on its own.   But they do TAKE as well.

With the 4th largest is correct.... but they ignore how numbers can be skewed.  Like I mentioned Parts of border security and "holding/processing" of people coming across the border is in that "federal expenses".   Then benefits type shit that democrats in Congress said didn't get paid.... but got found out did get paid.  Anyways..... if we really want to get down to brass tacks on "FEDERAL SPENDING"....  Do we want to include MILITARY??

California has 32 Military Bases that receive federal funding.   That is housing, food, clothing, fuel, etc.  I am just talking tangibles.  Not wages, benefits, machines, weapons, etc.  Texas has 15.  Do we want to add that spending into the this discussion?  Or how would CA survive if they left the USA.  

Yeah they have a strong economy.... but take away 32 bases and residents/income/sales tax base/property tax base if they dont live on base/etc.  Those are active duty.... then all the reservists and their income and spouses.  Not even going to touch on the whole protection issue.  

So when people start to talk about how CA would do just fine all by its self and doesn't need the rest of the USA it is complete bullshit.   But on the flipside.  US needs CA as well.... Ag industrial complex, tech, shipping ports, etc.  CA is crucial.

After I called you an ANTI-SEMITE, you FRANTICALLY searched for anything to try to “prove” I claim to live in the Fairfax area because you were only guessing.  

 
You hastily searched the K girl board for the subject, “Fairfax”, and the author, BigPapasan.  There was ONLY ONE POST that mentioned “Fairfax” by Bigpapasan.  You latched onto it and posted the link. If you even so much as skimmed the link, you would see that OC did not refer to where you live, and Fairfax did not refer to where I live.  

 
In that thread, OC and Fairfax referred to geographic areas where K girls work.  The thread you linked was about where K girl Sera was working. The OP said: “I know  Sera has been in OC for a few months now.”

Now the truth of the matter is that if there was a publication called “The Liberal Playbook”, it would have an entire chapter, if not more, titled “Cry Racism”. I noted, basically as an aside, that it’s a tactic used by the liberals here frequently.

And that aside sets off BigPapaflop on a vulgar and homophobic rant where he has an aha moment thinking he found “proof” that I’m a moronic anti-Semite! LOL! Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Correct on what many liberals do.... cry racism, Talk down to opposition,  Insult intelligence, etc... once they can't defend with facts.

Remember Republicans or "right wingers"..... are deplorables, red necks, baby factories, NAZI's, racists, homophobes, antisemites, etc.

YET..... here is one for them.   They claim Trump or any Republican is like "Hitler"...

Hitler was for abortion, vegetarian, anti-gun (disarming the populus), against a Jewish state (Isreal) , for big government or people looking for government handouts, against capitalism, for socialized medicine, for controlling speech (hate speech), etc.   Yeah.... facts.   History is amazing if people study it, break it down to simple terms and forms.

Now I will also say this.... Republicans also need to stop with the fucking name calling too.  Our world/political spectrum needs to be able to have discussions.  When people can't have discussion and just resort to name calling that is when it is all lost.  That is when it can become violent.  Things stop being civil.

That is why when I see people say... I lost friends, family over politics..... that is scary.  Politics shouldn't influence your life that much.   SORRY they shouldn't.    Also if the first thing people discuss when getting together is politics.... GET A FUCKING LIFE.

“To clarify, the company will continue to have a corporate office in California, while Snyder and a large number of corporate employees will be opening up shop in Franklin.”

 
Now let me tell you about the Snyder family.  They are real big Bible thumpers. Harry and Esther Snyder started In-N-Out in 1948.  Harry died of lung cancer at age 63. Harry and Esther had two sons. The older son was a drug addict so the younger son became president at age 24. Being a Bible thumper, he put “John 3:16” on the bottom of every cup.

 
So what did all that Bible thumping get him?  He died in a plane crash with the four other top executives.  

 
Now the drug addict son and his ten year old daughter were the only Snyders left besides mom Esther.  

 
The druggie became Chairman and mom was President. Seven years later, the druggie died of a drug overdose, naturally, and grandma was left to run the company with her 17-year-old granddaughter Lynsi.  

 
Lynsi got married right out of high school and seven years later, at the age of 24, she was on her second husband.   The VP who had been with the company for over 20 years sued Lynsi and her second husband. He claimed Lynsi and her second husband were trying to take control of the company away from elderly Esther and had forced employees to take Bible studies and pray at meetings.   Esther told the VP‘s wife: “I think they’re taking all my friends away from me.”

 
Esther died later that year, leaving 24 year old Lynsi in charge of the company.  

 
Today Lynsi is 43. She’s had four husbands and four kids.  The company is extremely successful but Bible thumping hasn’t helped the Snyder family very much.  

 
Apparently, Lynsi blames California: “Raising a family is not easy in California.”
Who told you to have four kids with four husbands, bitch!

It's really bizarre. It's also really clear that my pointing out how often you get your ass kicked here and on the GD Board has gotten deeply under your skin.
Do you really have to be that obvious?

The college campus thing with HARVARD....

What Trump Administration was dealing with was well Admissions and the fairness of it.  People with lower test scores were getting in because of RACE.  So he was saying he would pull federal funding unless they took race off the table when determining admission.  That was 1 issue.  So that is some of the DEI stuff.  You can't say you are for DEI when you hinder others based on race.  It is another good intention that is over corrected.

With other college campuses and "FREE SPEECH".  what he and his administration were talking about was the "TAKE OVERS".  Not the sitting on the law or squares protesting.  But when groups would "take over" a library, not let students into buildings, etc.  That is infringing on the right of other students freedom of movement, right for education, etc.  I mean if you were in the library trying to study and then had ANY GROUP come in and disrupt your studying... is that doing right by you if they don't face punishment or get KICKED OUT.  That was what was happening on Campuses.  Again he wasn't against them protesting it was HOW they were protesting.  They were using intimidation tactics and the schools were doing nothing about it.  Which interfered with other students freedom of movement and right to an education.   Remember your rights can't infringe on others rights.   Your right to protest can't infringe on my right of freedom of movement... otherwise that is kidnapping.  That is why people who shutdown freeways during protests need to be arrested (unless they have permits, which they don't.)  

Again all of the "with holding" of federal funding is in court to see if it is legal or not.  I am not sure if the Supreme court ruled on it or not.  

But again.... ACLU and others took only a portion of what really what Trump was doing and twisted it.  He never said protest should be banned.  Just the take over crap.  That is infringing on others rights.  

Now the guy who he "deported" or "Held"... that is a gray area.  Reason why is he was "LINKED" to terror groups (how is debatable), he was terrorizing and threatening others on campus (again debatable), etc.  Which violated his green card.  He should have had a hearing.  Again... the linking/terrorizing stuff was things he posted and where he posted them.  Did he do it with intent or was it by accident is what is debatable.  did people "repost" it or did someone else take the writings and publish them or did he send them to those publications.

Also with ACLU and many of these type of organizations (southern Baptist one) have go off the rails the bast decade or so.  They have been on the wrong side of thing more than the right.  Honestly go look at the track record.  They jump the gun without facts.  They look for the next crusade and it isn't there.  These are the groups that are keeping racism alive type thing.  Again they did great things.  BUT they are not as needed as much as they were in the past type thing.

Some Stats just coming out:

Job Losses and Employment Impact
Since the implementation of the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers in September 2023, California has reportedly lost nearly 18,000 fast food jobs. A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research highlights that fast food employment in California has decreased by 2.64%, while employment in the same sector has grown nationally. Additionally, another study from the Berkeley Research Group found that fast food restaurants lost approximately 10,700 jobs between June 2023 and June 2024, marking the largest job decline outside of the 2009 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.    

Per: epionline.org

Price Increases
The wage hike has also resulted in a 14.5% increase in food prices at local restaurants, as businesses attempt to offset the higher labor costs. Franchise owners have reported raising menu prices significantly, with some items seeing increases of over 8%. This has led to concerns among consumers, who are now ordering fewer items due to the higher costs.

Per: institutodelibertadeconomica.org

Shift Towards Automation
In response to the increased wage, many fast food establishments are accelerating their use of automation and artificial intelligence. This includes implementing ordering kiosks and AI systems, which further reduces the availability of jobs for human workers.  

Per: national law review

So what this has done is put a strain on fast food industry, restaurant industry, food service industry, etc.  All that hire middle to low income people.  It is having the "reverse" benefits it was intended to gain.  Putting stress on middle to upper income owners of smaller operations/franchisee's and managers of these places when or if they will shut down or not.

Like I stated prior.... we have about 2-3 years to see the real ramifications of this especially with how fast AI is advancing or IF artificial intelligence will or can take over these jobs.

I know in another thread it posted that In-Out is staying in CA... great.  It is a west coast staple.  But it will be interesting if they change how they operate or not.

Like I just mentioned above with the $20 wage issue.

Lots of legislation has been passed the past 2-4 years in CA that shifted things WAY LEFT in CA.  Compared to what it was.

Those things are starting to come to roost.  People are now starting to or will start to see the outcome of those laws, regulations, etc.  Both good and bad.

Also, many people are waking up and asking, "WHERE IS THE MONEY".  With things like homeless, that rail project, some water projects, etc.  With events that have happened and things Trump has said.  Be it truth or "story's" that Trump is telling.  

I am not triggered by any of those people.  But many of the have lied over and over.  But they are career politicians... who lie nonstop.  It is what they do.  ALL CAREER POLITICIANS DO THIS NO MATTER POLITICAL PARTY.    Trump lies because it is his EGO.    You can say you took a big shit, and Trump would say "i took the biggest most beautiful shit yesterday, it was magnificent, should have seen it, it was beautiful, it was HUGE, the best ever."  All because of his EGO.   Which if any person with 2 brain cells and knew anything about TRUMP at all knew this prior to him even becoming president.  You could see it in the 80's, 90's, on his show the Apprentice, etc.

No one sings songs like that ANYWHERE.
I know a lot of people in the music industry and most of them agree with me when I say there's no new ground to be broken in rock music. It's all just a re-hash of forms that have been used before.
You can't blame everything on California.
I'm surprised you weren't pleased when BLM burned down half the state.
Oh, right, that was wildfires not BLM. And it wasn't even half of LA.

Correct there really is no "new" forms or direction music can go.... even rock/metal (RIP OZZY)

They last real innovation for "rock" was kind of "NUMetal"... like it or hate it.  But the infusion of rock/metal with rap was it.

Also is the Mama's and Papa's really "rock".... or is it "folk rock".... or "hippie rock".

I didn't say what they sing about or content of the lyric.  Hell when Green Jello ( I refuse to call them Green Jelly because of the Kraft lawsuit) sang about 3 little pigs.  It was considered ground breaking.  But it is still "rock".

coCKSucker175 was so ecstatic over MARIKOD’s post “explaining” how force majeure applies to the Texas flood, he actually reposted it and called it a “royal bitchslapping” of BigPapasan.  

 
He called it a “royal bitchslapping” even though HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND ONE WORD of MARIKOD’s POST.  MARIKOD’s post was the stupidest fucking comment in the history of law commentary.  

 
After I tore MARIKOD’s post apart, willy said: “Sounds like a damn good argument.  I can’t find a single flaw…”

 
Did coCKSucker175 apologize for reposting the stupidest fucking post of all time and calling it a “royal bitchslapping?”  Of course not!  He DISAPPEARED like the ChicKenShit little bitch he is.

…the moronic bullshit.  Three days after the Texas flood, SnowKing69 said there needs to be an investigation.  

 
COEUR-DE-LION replied;
“ What are they going to investigate?  .  .  .  .
Sure, you can investigate, but if you think the culprit is going to be anything other than the flood waters you need to look up the term “force majeure.”

 
He was saying no one was responsible for the deaths because it was a flood and he was telling YOU to look up force majeure but COEUR-DE-LION DID NOT KNOW WHAT FORCE MAJEURE MEANT WHEN HE POSTED IT.  He is a pompous prick who was trying to impress the board with his legal knowledge of an obscure phrase but he ended up looking like an idiot because he refused to admit he was wrong.

FRENCH phrase, you thought it was Latin.  Sorry dip-shit, but force majeure generally means an "act of God" in France, WHERE THE PHRASE COMES FROM.  If it has lost something in the translation, it's not my fault.  Ask some other dumb-shits that think it's a Latin phrase.  I stand by my post.  In France, it's used for any type of natural disaster, whether weather driven or something like a dam breaking.    Somehow, you think this is Latin and means "contract."  That's essentially what you first posted.  You are wrong.  Is this some weird way to try to walk back what you said about this being Latin?

over your excitement.  The investigation is perfunctory.  In order to have liability, SOMEONE has to be charged with a crime, and then they have to be convicted, which requires criminal intent or gross negligence beyond a reasonable doubt.  The other choice is a civil suit for money damages to make repairs.  Since Gov. Abbot has ALREADY declared an emergency and agencies are ALREADY assisting property owners with recovery efforts and repairs, a Civil suit will probably just delay getting the help that the public needs.  

 
Who, exactly, do you think is responsible for this storm?   There are activist judges who would let you sue God, but if you win, how are you going to collect?

THE COUNTRY WAS RACIST.... and there are racist people out there.   Everything you brought up was IN THE PAST.

 
But over all it isn't a racist country.   Sorry to burst your bubble.     Also I have been to "the south"..... I have lived in "the south".... there are actually more tolerant people in "the south" than in many liberal cities.   The people in "the south" take people for who they are.... not for the color of their skin.   In the liberal cities I lived in people would bend over backwards for people of color in certain situations.   WHICH IS FUCKING RACIST.   They literally would treat them different because color of their skin.... which is RACIST.  

 
If people didn't bring race into everything and bring it up on a constant.... it would be almost gone.   It will never be completely gone.  But it would be close.

 
I never said racism is GONE.... but it isn't as common as you or media wants people to think.   Just like "police violence" against minorities.... isn't as bad as people think.   Body cams have proven that.    There are bad apples who are getting fucking busted and should.   But your average stop that people are were saying... Oh you profiled me.... WRONG.   Not happening like many want you to think.

among Democrats.  They rely on division to keep blacks in line.  They spend millions of dollars convincing blacks that they are inherently inferior to whites and are not smart enough to compete equally with whites.  If they don't keep blacks in line with the Democrat mantra, they will lose the black vote.  There are already some cracks in their attempts to keep blacks "down" and under control as demonstrated by Trump's victory in 2024.  Record numbers of Blacks are learning that the path to a better life is through education and a good job rather than waiting for Democrat handouts and welfare programs.

100% correct.

 
Ask a person who screams racism this question....

 
What can a white person do legally that a black person can't in US today?  They can't answer that question.   Which shows you that "racism" has or is being defeated compared to 60+ years ago.   It isn't the issue it was once was.

The south segregates??????      It is self-segregation.

 
Flying the Confederate flag......  
1. Freedom of expression.   Just like flying any other flag.  SORRY But facts.
2. Not "racist"..... if you think a "flag" is racist your an idiot.   The southern flag wasn't "RACIST".  Learn history.  
3. Some idiots do use that flag as a symbol of 'racism"... many others don't.  Many use it as a sign of "rebellion" or "rebel".  Again... learn history.   EVEN BLACKS

 
Murder of Floyd..... GO FUCK YOURSELF.   Learn the facts of the case.   It wasn't because of "racism".   They didn't target him because he was "black".  His death was because of he caused himself to have a panic attack, he OD'ed, shitty police work/response, crowd control issues, etc.   I could break it down but that would take too long.   Had nothing to do "because he was black".

 
Lynching..... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT..... Not happening.

 
YES..... northern liberal cities are fucking racist.

 
1. Places are self-segregated too.  Look how suburbs demographics change.
2. In your example.... where did the Floyd case happen.... NORTHERN LIBERAL STATE AND CITY.
3. White liberals (women especially) go out of their way to "seem" like they are not racist.  Which is being racist because you change your behavior towards someone based on color of skin.

 
Something to think about..... Where has some of the more recent "race riots" happen..... LIBERAL CITIES.... and in the north.  Riots not "protests".   Then LA.... liberal city.... but not considered "north" since it wasn't established during the civil war so to speak.  

- Floyd riot.... Kenosha riot.... Mike Brown riot.....  All in "northern" cities and all favored Democratic voters.
