[quote=FlyerInHi]We need CalExit to keep the druggies from migrating from other states. We should be able to deport them back home to their parents. Let’s only take care of the people born in California or those who have a minimum of 5 years residency.[/quote]
hummmm,….
according to the 2018 survey/study of homeless people, 74% became homeless in San Diego
(See p.24 of a PDF which did a survey on local “homeless”)
this implies a great majority of the problems are local in nature?
in other words seems problems like substance addiction and the cumulative cockup of various political leadership decision(s) are local,… so a “CalExit” as you suggested does nothing to address to root cause of various problems which is,… human nature that is all too often corrupt and not all that smart
[quote=phaster][quote=spdrun]Yeah. We have a fuckin’ moral crisis, but it’s not the PEOPLE being immoral. It’s a crisis of greedy piece of shit (generally local and state) governments…[/quote]
we are where we are because of past political leadership decisions which were made by “career politicians” w/ far too little mental “numbers” horsepower and only having a “balls and honesty factor” of 0.01%,… how else to explain why BIG PROBLEMS came about AND remain to be addressed?
for example local politicians like Todd Gloria and Chris Ward (who actively sought the position to represent the downtown area where there is a large “homeless” problem),… as various local news reports indicate they are not addressing (i.e. in denial) of various big issues (which should be job#1 for anyone who who actively sought the position leadership role) so the end result is, their council district has been lead up a creek w/ out a paddle!
one last thought,… since california mandated more women on the boards

California Mandates More Women On Corporate Boards
Legislators in California passed a bill recently that would require publicly-traded companies headquartered in the state to place at least one woman on their board by the end of 2019.
perhaps there should be a proposition that requires that politicians take and pass a basic math and economics course before being sworn into office[/quote]
FYI here is something thats relevant to the issue (a news reporter based in LA that looks at the problem of substance addiction)
