California is at it again

[Flarelaine]

California seems a lot more progressive than Alabama right now.

Which state does not?

[Togashii]

It does seem as if they do coordinate themselves to strike at the forums/facebook all at once, don't they? >_<

Must be a new pay period. Gotta earn those Rubles and Kopeks some how!!

[Flarelaine]

"a leader in protecting civil rights and preventing discrimination" and should not support or finance "discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people."

I translate : we are progressives, youre regressives so we wanna shut down our governmental ties as much as we can

"Our country has made great strides in dismantling prejudicial laws that have deprived too many of our fellow Americans of their precious rights. Sadly, that is not the case in all parts of our nation, even in the 21st century," California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement Thursday.

indeed california government doenst think its beliefs and policies arent above of the other states and our country overall.

Textbook strawmanning.

Let's look at California. The democrats settled a whole bunch of immigrants from Mexico, illegal and otherwise, into California in order to win elections and destroy the GOP in the state. Now they are leveraging that illegal activity to try to change policy in other areas of the country.

Trick question: were there Mexicans in California before it belonged to the US ever?

Thought so.

1) sure sure

2) who cares, the white man came and took it over making it the best place to live maybe, if not for americans it would be the same shithole like mexico or brazil.

Seems like this would hurt Cal more than the states. Say there is some large Police convention or w/e something that an gov agency would have use to be at, in Texas, well, tough luck California cops, you want to make that trip that may help your department? That's going to be on your dime.

Overall, who cares though? Its their state and their funds to do with as they please. Its kind of silly, but really, what effect does this really have on anyone?

[Zan15]

California needs to be kicked out of the Union. Do it! #MAGA

lol where would all those red states get their 1.75 in federal funding per dollar paid in taxes.....from if CA leaves.

Obviously they're gonna have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop asking for handouts.

Am I doing it right?

[Moon-Man]

And the right wing fake news is at it again, trying to make California look like a second class state when its actually carrying the entire country.

When are you people going to grow your own brain stem?

At least they grow their brain stem, but you keep losing yours, every second you think and watch CNN, NYT or any REAL FAKE NEWS.

California is holding U.S back, slowing it down.

Everyone was hoping, California would exit, why? Because NOTHING OF VALUE WOULD BE LOST.

California is a dead weight.

[mvaliz]

That's because you can't argue with ideologues. What? You want me to engage in some pissing contest where I argue one set of facts and you come back with another set of facts and we go round in circles and not get anywhere? All I care about is Californians and their ilk moving out of Texas, whatever the cost. You ruined your state, we don't need you ruining ours.

Yeah, we know of you and your "Alternative facts" Bullshit. But I agree - though don't think of yourself as not being one of those "ideologues".

Oh, and three more things.
1) California is actually rocking right now... especially after the Democrats took over from the disaster that was Governor Schwartzeneger. Now They're registering surpluses in budgets instead of constant pitfalls.

2) You really don't want California to leave the USA, you really REALLY don't! Most of the Tech industry and almost all of the Entertainment industry are contained within that state. What few tech companies Texas has pales in comparison to what the West Coast has.

3) I do not live in California. I'm in the central timezone :P

I can honestly say that I never, ever heard of a statewide shutdown or a state being crippling due to the local police not being able to attend a convention in another state on their state's budget. >.>

...I'd argue Mississippi, ATM.

This again?

Seriously, CA is more than just Silicon Valley and Hollywood.

NAASCO in SD just finished delivery on the last of 8 oil tankers, and starting a new contract on 2 LNG tankers.

BAE and Continental Marine shipyards in SD have been working 24-hours a day to meet demand.

SF and SD counties are at full employment.

Record high agriculture output so far in 2017.

Booming medical and biomed manufacturing in SD.

Mitsubishi factory in Sacramento is hiring skilled workers to keep up with their electric train production.

Sixteen Amazon fulfillment centers with 4 more planned by end of 2017, and two sort centers.

There are right now over 1,800 Aerospace job openings in the LA area alone.

Largest 4 year public university system in the US in the Cal State System. Largest by far when you include the University of California System.

Some of the best Universities, Berkeley, CalTech, UCLA, Stanford, etc.

Two third of US oil reserve.

Leading green energy industry. When Illinois and Tenessee wanted to build their wind power, they contracted with a CA company.

Etc. etc. etc.

i don't have an opinion on the subject since i don't care but maybe don't misrepresent the content

state funded stuff is socialism you should be glad its gone

That's not what state funded implies. State funded means if you have a conference related to your job as a state employee in one of those places, they won't pay for it which is bullshit. "Amg they believe something other than our beliefs so we're not going to support our people doing something there on work related business".

My point was more like, thats like the only negative I see, its so, "who cares". Cause you're right, my example is soft as shit.

[TwistedSkull]

Conservatives getting more and more backwards by the day judging from this thread.

I would be embarrassed if I lived in CA for many reasons.

When I watch 1978 Superman, I now cheer for Lex Luther.

A rotten cesspool that's one of the richest states in the world and contributes a vast amount of resources and money to the United States. Yes, let them cecede so we can see how many states will completely fall apart without them.

[hakujinbakasama]

$5 says that if California was in any division with any sports teams with those states this wouldn't have been created.

Who would want to go to those states anyway?

[Thoughtful Trolli]

"California is at it again" I thought they elected to have another drought or something.

If you remember, you'd know they will enact their succession by shearing out into the ocean on the San Andreas fault.

Unfortunately Bugs never study geology. The San Andreas fault zone is a right-lateral strike slip fault. The movement is northwest-southeast orientation. Not east-west. Give it enough time, like a couple hundred million years, LA will become part of Oregon. It is not going to fall into the ocean though.
