As surprisingly reasonable response from you. Thank you. I would contend that most people, including conservatives, are willing to pay more in taxes as long as they are reasonably assured it won't wasted. Politicians usually waste most of the money.

Maybe one solution is that billionaires make tax deductible contributions exclusively to the pet capital projects of their choice and then get them named after them. The Bill Gates dam, the Jeff Bezo's Highway whatever. That's already happening here where some billionaires got hospitals named after them after they plunked down $50 million or so.

Win win for everyone plus the benefactors money goes where it should & doesn't get wasted on something it shouldn't.

Funny :Happy5: I don’t know the exact issues. Naturally there are 2 sides. I’m generally for the environment.

Over all San Diego isn't doing half bad. It was raining just last night. Light rain but every bit helps. We are just entering our winter rainy season too so I would wait and see how the rainy season goes before panicking.

That said we have decades of Democrats block all day construction and even foolishly demanding existing dams be destroyed and reservoirs drained. The idiots in San Francisco demanding that the Hetch-Hetchy dam be removed (were the city gets 90% of its water) was especially moronic. Dems have shut down most of the state water system for farmers for the third year all while letting water flow out into the sea and be wasted.

When you put idiot leftists in charge this is what what happens. It reminds me of Newscum shutting down the state's late nuclear reactor, a big carbon free source of abundant base load power, while we were having blackouts and he was demanding reductions in carbon output. Just nonsensical stupidity.


The problems with people on the left is that they're not always practical. They want to stop building to keep our greenspaces for example, all the while not considering how immigration impacts housing. Prices go up and up and homeless increases.

The problem on the right is that no matter what they don't want to pay any more in taxes, but are unwilling to shift the tax burden onto the very wealthy, where it was in decades past.

As surprisingly reasonable response from you. Thank you. I would contend that most people, including conservatives, are willing to pay more in taxes as long as they are reasonably assured it won't wasted. Politicians usually waste most of the money.

Wrt the water system... I would suggest we copy something like the Israeli water authority which by law must be completely non-political, is required by law to be as financially efficient as possible (and private individuals can go to court to force spending changes if they find waste or over spending forcing spending reductions), it is exempted from most laws other than safety (no politicians can force big price increases by demanding corrupt union contracts for instance), and the agency automatically gets a percentage of total government income. That might be a good way to go.

It's only surprising to you because your stupidity brushes all people with the "woke" brush stroke without every knowing anything about them.

This is, at the very least, about the 4th time you posted to me about being surprised with a "reasonable response". Quit being surprised you dumbfuck.

The problem lies with YOU.

They can already make tax deductible charitable donations. Also naming rights are already sold to raise money. So these things are already done.

I dont want all the bad things. I spent almost all my vacation in Florida last year and will probably spend most of it there this year. Florida is MUCH better than SoCal. Gas is about HALF the cost in Florida. Florida, even libtardedly ran Orange County is WAY more laxed in covid bullshit. Bums are about 10% of what they are in Cali, probably even less than that. They dont have Shake Shack or In-N-Out, that sucks. If you want to see the mountains, you're out of luck.

Whatever dummy. The FACT is, that entire state is a financial, environmental, and social disaster. LOL @ your politicians thinking they could tax people who moved out for up to 10 years AFTER they leave! That right there tells the rest of the country what your level of desperation is!

I preferred California.

But maybe it's gone downhill.

Florida had better air quality.

I remember giving food to panhandlers in Key West because they were starving.

They were yer fellow White Americans...Lokmeer!

LOL! I noticed there were prison chain gangs in Florida and they asked people like myself to contribute to their charities. I guess lower taxes mean fewer social services, eh Lokmeer?

So tourists have to donate to help poorer people there.

Florida is rolling in the dough. The roads are better than californias and the power grid is stable too. These are a sure sign Floridas better off than Cali. The last time I was in Cali in 2019, the freeways werent nearly as nice as Floridas.

In Florida, you got chain gangs, in Cali, you got bums galore! I bet Cali has about 100 bums for every 1 in Florida!

Florida is flat, it doesn't have mountains to trap in air pollution. But we have gorgeous mountains and forests. Nowhere is perfect, but California's natural beauty is well recognized outside of conservative forums full of butthurt individuals.

In some ways CA & FL are similar.

But parts of FL definitely felt like the Deep South. Nice place to visit. But I wouldn't wanna live there.

I have nothing against either state.

Since I'm not American I have no animosity towards them. They were both interesting states to visit & surely among the most valuable regions for the US. Separately or together both must account for a good chunk of its GDP.

I know CA has the largest economy of all the states in the US. I don't know where FL falls. I'm sure it's among the top percentiles.

NY, CA, FL , TX - those states must account for 1/3 of its GDP.

Probably. California alone accounts for about 15%.

It is raining right here in San Diego right now and it has been raining all afternoon. Yesterday I spoke with my friend who is an investment banker in the bay area. He said the rain was so hard they had localized flooding.

It was a drenching for sure.
