[quote=FlyerInHi]Whining generally is non partisan. I don’t mind whiners who are consistent whiners. It’s ok gripe about inequalities or unfairness.

But whiners who contradict themselves all the time are losers. For example, some people bitch about not being able to afford to live in California. They bitch that immigrants are lazy and ruining the state. Well, immigrants can afford to live in California… they manage which makes them hard workers; more resilient and hardworking than the whiners.

The whiners who look for that other to demonize should called upon and made to feel like losers.[/quote]

I’ve seen many boom and bust cycles in CA, and whiners seem to vary depending on which industries are booming and which are declining at any given time in the state.

Of course those whose industries are booming at the moment are not whining right now (I’m sure those whose industries were booming in the past weren’t whining then either)–but, nothing lasts forever, so if/when certain industries go bust–as we have seen happen many times before–I think you’ll see a whole new set of whiners emerge when their services are no longer needed–just as we have with those who came before them. In an at-will employment state like CA, there are no guarantees.
