California is at it again

[Wyrt]

California to other America:

- you dont agree with our policies so we gonna shut down our communications and later maybe secede!

how progressive!

Boycotts have long been used by progressives. Is it really so bad for California to boycott states that refuse to get out of the 19th century?

California can't do anything about the millions of Californian tax dollars being pumped into those shithole states, but they can stop sending federal employees to those states.

[Shadowferal]

OP has revealed he couldn't take the time to read his own links.
Which makes this thread a waste of time, beyond revealing his own inability for reading comprehension.
Gods only knows that he might take my post as complimentary rather than critical.


Banning state-funded travel doesn't mean that someone that lives in CA can't travel to those other states.

[unbound]

So for you poor souls who have a brain stem and live in California if you are a state worker you can no longer travel to Texas, Kentucky, Alabama, or South Dakota
Can this state just become rotten out cesspool and cecede already.

a) only affects those workers for official state business

b) you find this to be more offensive than the medieval LGBTQ laws in the affected states? Seriously?

[Lenonis]

Jesus the hysteria in this thread from right wingers who don't even know what they are talking about is amazing.

And we're the snowflakes? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

[Shadowferal]

Maybe some here are from Florida...and tired of hearing how Florida is always up to something related to low IQs.

[ImpTaimer]

Oh boy all the delusional commifornians pretending their state is an economic powerhouse.

You're a port city without its own sustainable water and power, the most laughable part. If you receded into the ocean tomorrow Oregon or Nevada would become the next "economic powerhouse".

California would burn to the ground without neighboring states' water supplies alone.

Deport all your illegal aliens we'll see how fast your economy crashes lol.

[Ironhorn]

I dont want anymore Californian's coming to Texas so Im okay with this. In fact his law doesn't go far enough I want to see a total travel ban.

[Snes]

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?

Since when is Washington Post right wing? lol

[JohnBrown1917]

>All this talk about cali being commie.


Never change MMO-C, you always shows us the crazy parts of the far right, to the point where very liberal states get called 'commie'. They are opposites, you know?

[Eldar45]

This is still kind of troubling. They are cutting their state government off from the governments of certain other states.

I'm not fan of California or its policies anyway, but this seems a little extreme.

[DrStiglit]

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

States funding employee travel for work is not socialism...

[Nihilist74]

Oh gee, we cant travel to Texas, Kentucky, Alabama or South Dakota. Whatever shall we do!?

[triplesdsu]

Yeah, that's why they have the 8th largest economy in the world and are introducing, on their own, universal healthcare for state residents. It's possible you didn't even read a single source - and it's obvious you don't know what the issue are anymore.

I think we know who the lunatic is at this point.

Thankfully that universal healthcare bill basically died today because it was essentially ust feels with no structure to support it. I doubt the legislature has the brains to ever get a feasible bill developed.

Or businesses that leave for there, particularly texas.

[KrazyK923]

I always find it funny how much of a punching bag California is. Especially when its conservative-leaning states that are such a drain on the economy, not the liberal ones.

Take a look at any of the states at the top of a "Most & least federal dependent" list and its always southern states at the top, with California at the bottom, along with Illinois.

Kentucky
Mississippi
New Mexico
Alabama
West Virginia
South Carolina
Monatana
Tennessee
Maine
Indiana
Arizona

Hmmm interesting.

You'd think people on the right would applaud them for taking funds from government spending.

It's very childish, though. "Wah, you hurt our feelings! We're going to pay you back by making sure our employees don't travel there and spend money! Except they can still travel there if they want..." In the end it's just them whining.

Wyrt, you refer to them as "shithole states" and mostly I agree, but they're not sooo bad *wink*. Considering what I linked earlier in the thread about their love for gay porn down in the Bible Belt, if you're a guy a good amount of those good old "Christians" down in Georgia, Mississippi, Lousiana et al. probably wanna blow you.... if you're a girl and a lesbian they'd probably love to watch you with your partner as they fapped their little peckers only to stand back and try to prevent you from getting married. I have talked to some of them about this and a few told me straight up their hated for LGBT is aimed more towards gay men than women, but then many of them turn around and cry some MRA stuff about how men are so oppressed. They are themselves major oppressors of men in that area and many others! Speaking of such, it's funny the "anti-feminists." Almost all seriously alpha males I have met were out there getting major pussy and not sitting around whining about some damn feminists. As soon as you hear someone crying about feminists you can be fairly certain you got a soft ass dude on your hands who is probably sad women wield so much power over sex. That's why they look up to Trump, they see him as alpha... nevermind the fact Trump is probably actually a pretty weak man. Funny seeing Trump get cucked by his wife who BTW is a foreigner, but many of his supporters give her a pass since she is a white foreigner.

Unbound you refer to their laws as "Medieval." Yeah, true, but in a way it's good. See, in a way it's great these people have a platform. They are an unlikely ally. The blowback they are creating for themselves is immense. This is especially true for the Christian right. I want to see them destroyed, I want those lower church attendance numbers and people turning away from organized religion to continue growing in America. To them, keep working for those discriminatory laws, please keep on pushing that Christian religion within the context of those petty laws and the lies/fearmongering that surrounds it. Show the the rest of the developed world, like those in Northern Europe and Canada, and the more enlightened areas of the Unites States (Like much of California) what happens when you left these rwnj take hold.

[Kaleredar]

Oh boy all the delusional commifornians pretending their state is an economic powerhouse.

Let's consult the big board:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compar..._GDP_(nominal)

Yeah it's still an economic powerhouse.


Don't feel bad, though. Texas has almost half the GDP of California.

You're a port city without its own sustainable water and power, the most laughable part. If you receded into the ocean tomorrow Oregon or Nevada would become the next "economic powerhouse".

California would burn to the ground without neighboring states' water supplies alone.

"oh gee if California didn't have all these things that made it successful, it wouldn't be successful!"

Reals?

The OP has a bright future in the fake news media industry with how misleading his post was.

You can no longer use state funds or travel on state business to those states. You can still travel there for personal reasons if you wish, using your own time and money. Exceptions are allowed for governmental functions that are deemed necessary to preserve the integrity or continue the existence of specific aspects of government or education.

You might want to actually read the entire article(s) before going apeshit.
