    It is also leading the way in anti-depressants per capita. It's like saying that Russia is full of happy people..

    Funny that CA and Chicago produce a significant portion of the GDP in the U.S. and certainly far more GDP per capita than most of the rest of the country that isn't extracting a natural resource they lucked into sitting on top of. So it would seem that what you subjectively see as wasteful or inefficient the economy objectively shows to be pretty damn effective.

    If you think California spends money effectively I really only need to point to the high speed rail to nowhere that is not only costing California taxpayers a bundle but also everyone in the country due to the federal subsidies Biden reinstated after Trump wisely canceled the entire corrupt boondoggle.

    You can point to individual projects you disagree with all day long, but the inconvenient fact still remains that the state produces a far outsized portion of the countries GDP. And contributes far more in federal tax revenue than it benefits from in federal programs, if you want to open up another inconvenient fact. Again, objectively looking at the big picture.

    Being completely objective... I would be perfectly happy if California slides into the sea and you need scuba gear to visit Disneyland.

    OK, bit of a misunderstanding on basic definitions of subjective and objective, to start. And what bearing does your personal opinion on CA have to do with anything I stated again? I know, those pesky facts are inconvenient, best to just ignore them, right?

    Yes, he's extremely sleepy, and on the rare occasion he makes a brief public appearance in his pajamas he has to be held up by two nurses, one on either side. He sleeps until noon, has a light lunch of cottage cheese and a banana, then goes back to bed for a nap until Wrestling comes on the TV. He tires easily, so after a few eyes are gouged out and one or two body slams he goes back to bed. He's a great improvement over the lying, Fat, Orange JACKASS that was our President .
