What a shocker...not.
California the garden paradise of the modern world, matchless in creativity, innovation, productivity and opportunities to build wealth in the first half of the 20th century.
Then along came the entitled children who were somebody if they could become known, rich, and famous on their naturally endowed characteristics. We are just good enough to deserve it without a show of effort. By the start of the second half of the 20th century: Living to be liked and admired for your fame rather than what you contributed to society, enabling and empowering the unskilled, uneducated, and inexperience to be promoted into prestigious jobs, over and inspite of people highly qualified and experienced, by granting protected and opportunistic status. Social engineering to change the definition of equal to mean sameness, to humiliate people who lived complimentary lifestyles where family roles were distinct. Being tagged as a nine-to-fiver actually becomes a put down. It's not cool and cool is what life is all about, gaining without achieving, having without struggling, a life of leasure, that's cool. Giving, but not from the excess you've earned by the sweat of your brow...giving from the government treasury, a treasury built on the sweat of those now despised 9-to-5ers who've lost their voice and eventually their employment, the one's you snear at and call redneck. Greed and poor work ethic sends productive workers to more vibrant regions of the world like India, China and other parts of the USA.
Gosh, where'd the wealth go. Oh yeah, you dopes stopped producing it while you drained the reservoir. It's not just the farmers who are having a drought period, California society dried up long ago.
Fight for your government jobs, raise the taxes, bailouts from DC so things can be like they were??? probably makes perfect sense to Californians.
