Why California Is BURNING DOWN

[@deerick3109]

I moved out of California in July 2019. In March I went back to visit my brother and nephews. He was complaining about how his utility bills keep going up and the high gas prices. When we drove through Sacramento you could clearly see things have gone downhill since I left in 2019 and when I ask him why doesn’t he stop voting for the democrats he said the alternative would be a lot worse. I just looked at him and kept silent.

I’m in SoCal and trust me I’ve had this argument a million times. Everyone complains endlessly about how expensive and shitty LA is, and then when I suggest voting for the guy who wants to do the opposite of the current policy it’s like their brain breaks. They want people to stop crime and remove dangerous insane people from the street. But then think a cop even talking sternly to someone is brutality and a civil rights violation. It baffles me.

[@tommyleite-x3o]

I feel like there are so many components to this question. 1 - the way they frame the ¨propositions¨, makes it sound good but the law itself is not. Most people in CA are too chill to read beyond the title. (eg: Prop 47 ran as a ¨fair¨sentencing for people that shoplifted because they were starving. Who is gonna vote against it? ). 2 - Historically CA did so well economically that very few people were really involved in politics. Now is a bit too late. 3 - Democrats spend so much money with ¨branding¨, like Larry said. This you can´t deny, that they are good at ¨marketing¨.

It is the large cities, LA, SF, Sacramental where the extreme liberalism rules. A large minority, mostly rural and small towns, are traditional American values. This is the tyranny of the large cities over the rural areas.

[@RonaldSkancke]

Such is obvious in Washington state, Oregon, and Illinois, Minnesota also due to a huge influx of immigrants thanks to church groups.

The illusion of racism is taught. I honestly don’t know anyone who is racist. Who doesn’t like someone just because of the color of their skin. I just don’t know anyone who feels that way.

I think one major reason that children in the inner cities don't do well that gets COMPLETELY overlooked and never mentioned is, CHILDREN SHOULDN'T BE RAISED IN AN INNER CITY! That's a terrible place to raise any child.

If you live in a city where you can go to the market and get food anytime you want you have a different understanding of how the world works. It turns out Cows don’t care what day of the week it is. They have to be milked even if you don’t feel like it. No farmer ever complains “I’ve already worked my 35 hours this week.” They don’t get to call off because they are sick or hung over. And most importantly they know if they don’t do their job, their families don’t eat.

[@EasternDreamer615]

When I went to school in California, the schools were some of the best in the US. Now the education is one of the lowest in the nation. When we retired I was 62 and moved back to California. We lived in a great community, the community was very dedicated to keeping the community healthy. I miss it, but the laws of the state make it so hard to live there.

Education is the path to save this world. The country was never going to last forever, but whatever rises from its collapse will need to understand where the failure points were in the American system.

[@forsociopoliticalstuff2629]

Unfortunately, it won’t. To this day, people debate how the great nations of the past could have been saved and rarely is there ever ways to do it. It seems humans are doomed to have an endless cycle within a finish earth (we’ve already used the easiest to access fuel sources, so if the present day societies collapse, there’s no way to reach the industrial stage ever again, nevermind beyond that).

[@Ballaholic17]

People are too stuck on how we got here as opposed to what we're going to do moving forward. I don't think getting an education holds the same value or prestige it used to.

[@malachiteofmethuselah9713]

Education as an institution is not going to save us. Returning to a traditional household that has a parent in the home is the only thing would make a difference. Our children have been abandoned to institutions that are guided by lawyers, rather than parents that are willing to be open and honest when teaching a child about the world and how to survive it.
