California is a nightmare and needs to go form its own country. They can’t manage their forests well at all so, come each fire season, they get national attention again begging for money The homeless population is now contracting the Bubonic Plague too. Have you SEEN rent/gas/food prices out there? They keep passing legislation to either censor something or revoke parental rights… CA is basically not part of the US anymore. Ppl hate Texas bc it’s a red state and that’s their only reason
Just put someone in charge who knows wtf they’re doing. Not Gavin Newsom who snubbed his nose at everyone during Covid so HE could go eat at a restaurant. Not their state legislature bc they’re part of the problem too. Put someone in there with a BRAIN and a desire to turn the state around. R, D, a monkey, a monkey with a moldy banana—anyone!
And the reason the South is high on this lists is because of centuries of poverty and inequality made worse by carpetbaggers and an incompetent federal government. Just because its a bad state to live in does not mean the South doesn't have the best people, cooking and food, nature, wildlife, and history in the country.
“Just put someone in charge who knows wtf they’re doing.” Ah yes. The famously easy task of governing the world’s 5th largest economy. Surely random poster has the solution between Monster Energy breaks. This post reads like someone lost an argument with a gas pump and never emotionally recovered.
From Native American settlement to the Spanish and the French, from the Republic of Texas to the early days of the Union, yes I would say easily the South has the most interesting, dense, diverse, and perhaps unfortunate history of any region in the United States. If all you can think of is slavery this Confederacy that then you need to read up on the history.
So let them be their own country. Not even other blue states like them. Give California literally anything and they find a way to ruin it Video games, anime, veterans, parental rights, child care, forestry, housing, wages, criminal justice— The point is, the state is a nuisance. Idgaf about their shit ass politics. They just ruin everything
