I know - facts hurt your fi-fi's. Sorry, but everything I wrote is true - and I doubt you even live in California.

"Ever heard of Prop 13?
Now really, go piss off
#10 | Posted by LegallyYourDead"

It is the only thing that has prevented the state from falling off a cliff through over taxation.

By any objective quality of life measurement, California was WAY BETTER in the year 2000 than it is in the year 2024 - this after multiple decades of Democrat only rule.

The crime is way worse, the schools are way worse (paying way more for worse results at every level from K-12 to the U of California campuses), there are way less emergency rooms available, homelessness is way worse, poverty level (adjusted for cost of living) is way worse, drug overdoses and mental disorders are way worse, income inequality is way worse, the infrastructure from airports to highways is way worse, and out of state migration is way worse.

This is what 2 decades plus of Democrats controlling the state gets you - it is the rich kid blowing their inheritance on hookers and coke.

Hmm...your 'worst states' sure seem to attract a lot of people like AZ, TX, TN, and IN while your 'liberal utopia states like NY, CA, and IL seem to lose population every census.

More than that, CA is the poster child of a state that was made great due to past policies (mainly GOP) that are slowly being pissed away by the Liberals that mistakenly believe they were the ones that built the state. It is typical of the rich kid syndrome - wealth is squandered within 3 generations. That tech sector was mainly due to Stanford getting government military grants to work advanced radar systems which spawned the hardware tech revolution. These did not spring up because they loved trans-kids. These sprung up due to actual businesses using the vast infrastructure that had been constructed in the state - including an education system that was best in the nation and now is close to last after 20+ years of liberal control.

OK Boomer.

"Or maybe the Nickelback.
#27 | Posted by Corky"

I will gladly take Nickelback over 90% of the music produced over the last 5 years. The reality is that you only hate Nickelback because "the cool kids" told you it was cool to do so.

Also, you should not let Redial hear you say that. Next to saying that jean jacket + jeans is a bad look, there are no bigger fighting words for the Canucks.

"Pls don't try to grok the thread article
#3 | Posted by Corky"

The state became too big and chaotic: Yes for California, so much so the state wants to break into several states as the interests are so unaligned

The influence of money and private interests corrupted public institutions: Yep. This is why everything is fake and gay and controlled by big tech or the entertainment industry in the state

And social and economic inequalities became so stark that citizens lost faith in the system altogether and gradually fell into the arms of tyrants and demagogues: 100% Cali as the poverty rates and income inequality are on pace with African nations and the homeless problem is out of control

So, if you want to say this is 'America' when it described 100% Democrat controlled California so much better, you are not be intellectually honest. Also, I think you would have a hard time applying this description to places like Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas, or Florida.

"And Ella Fitzgerald is like Metallica?
jajaja!
#24 | Posted by Corky"

Real instruments or synths?
Real vocals or autotune?
Constant repeat of the hook?

Yeah, this is way more akin to Metallica than to Justin Timberlake.

"#12 | Posted by Hans"

Like I told you before, you would be better off writing your love letter to Yav and hoping he could give you some of that married guy gay sex he brags about. Hell, that or you can seek professional help for your obsession with me. It is actually pretty creepy.

"Claudio is such a troll. He probably thinks Ashley's diary was real.
#19 | Posted by REDIAL"

You probably thing Justin Trudeau did not get fired for sleeping with his underage student.

"#18 | Posted by Corky"

That you for proving my point by linking to a song that exemplifies what I am talking about - compare this was the modern "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake.

What it will mean?

It will mean WW3 will be averted.
It will mean the DOGE in enacted and spending is finally cut to pull the US out of financial abyss
It will mean the economy roars as it did 8 years ago
It will mean government will step out of Elon's way and we do missions to Mars on private dollars with NASA being binned
It will mean the border is closed leading to large drops in drug OD deaths and crime
It will mean mass deportation of illegals leading to rapid wage growth for unskilled workers and the overall worker participation rate hitting new records
It will mean Democrats that cheated in the 2020 election and with lawfare since 2016 will finally face justice so severe this behavior is never repeated
It will mean even the liberals will be so happy with the increase in their quality of life that they will have to make up new, even more ridiculous, reasons to be miserable

"All of that sounds very familiar, doesn't it?"

Sounds like California.

"More recent bands have fewer "hits" to package
#12 | Posted by morris"

That is because liberals control entertainment and have made everything "fake & gay". Music now must have the hook every 15 seconds so the TikTok generation does not get bored and change the track. Take out any actual talent in playing a musical instrument in place of a drum track and you have the modern garbage music of today. Hell, lyrics can't even be controversial any more in relation to the government, being degenerate is actually encouraged (LGBT, drug use, being a whore, etc). As disappointing as Rage Against the Machine becoming Rage for the Machine is, there is literally no acts outside of country music that tells of actual struggles or government abuse.

You -------- still buy music? OK boomer. I have not bought an album since Metallica Black when I was in like the 3rd grade.

Here is the AI answer on Google:

"No, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are generally less profitable than private sector companies:

Research
Most studies find that SOEs have poorer performance than private companies. For example, a study of over 25,000 firms worldwide found that SOEs were less profitable and more labor intensive than private firms."

I honestly believe this is why the Democrats have intentionally destroyed public schools. Anyone with an understanding of history can easily refute the Democrat talking points and eventually, we would run out of morons saying "let's try communism"

"I've always wondered why the right wing hasn't wanted to run the country like a business when it comes to economy of scale.
#7 | Posted by Dbt2"

Maybe because we have 1000's of examples how this does not work when it is run by government in the form of State Owned Enterprises under Communist/Socialist governments. Hell, we have Petrleos de Venezuela, S.A. if you want a current example.

So she could not have been the one that mauled Tucker by your own logic. So, I ask again - does anyone know where Yav was that night?

"doing his best to spin the racist angle
#27 | Posted by hamburglar"

So, facts are now racist? No wonder the Left has to rely solely on emotion now.

"So, how does your current alias propose we resolve that racial/cultural problem?
#26 | Posted by LampLighter"

Can't you read you askhole goof? I already give you solutions how to solve it in #25. I am done with you.

"@#20 ... Because as the data clearly points out, we have a racial/cultural problem. ...
Thank-you for admitting that."

I said we had a culture problem from my very first post moron.

"And, now can we get back to the question I have been intimating? ...
Why do we have a racial/cultural problem?"

Why do you think? Why do blacks shoot and murder people at rates multitudes higher than whites?

"It is easy to highlight a problem.
Symptoms are obvious. Solutions, more difficult."

Well, the first step to a solution is admitting that we have a problem. Do you now want to admit this is a problem in black American almost exclusively?

"So, how does your current alias propose we resolve that racial/cultural problem?"

Step 1 would be to actually enforce the law in deep blue -------- cities. Stop and Frisk in NYC worked wonders. Second would be locking up gun violence offenders for way longer sentences so they are not able to re-offend. 3-strike laws had a huge positive influence in making the cities safe. Third, we could enforce the border to finally tackle our drug problem and the violence that goes with it. Forth, we could turn back 60 years of Democrat policies which encouraged black women to have kids without a father around to raise the kid. So, those are some normal solutions that don't involve stripping the rights away from law-abiding people.

"What should we do differently to find a solution to the racial/cultural problem your current alias highlights?
#23 | Posted by LampLighter"

I would also think deporting Obama would make a huge positive step.

""Why does the focus of your outrage seem to be on black vs white data?"

Because as the data clearly points out, we have a racial/cultural problem. Trying to make all American responsible or taking away the rights of law-abiding people will do nothing to solve the problem if you are not willing to address the root cause.

"The question is not about the ad hominem attack of whether I am lazy and stupid."

Yes, it is. You are a lazy and stupid askhole. Always asking for links/data but never actually reading it so you can come back and ask for the same data a week or month later. Classic askhole behavior.

"The question is about why your current alias seems to focus upon that topic, i.e., black vs white data.
#19 | Posted by LampLighter"

Already noted above.

"@#16 ... Provide the data I requested ...
#17 | Posted by LampLighter"

Because you are lazy and stupid, I will even provide the link where you can find the data. What conclusion do you draw other than my statements being 100% factually correct?

I am not up to date on you new queer lingo. All I remember is that you said you proudly blew 2000 guys in your career.

"Why does the focus of your outrage seem to be on black vs white data?
#14 | Posted by LampLighter"

Provide the data I requested and then we can have a meaningful conversation. Google is your friend. I am not here to spoon feed askholes.

"Men spend a lot of time on eX-Twitter and Reddit

No straight man spends time on reddit. It is a bigger liberal safe space than this site. It is pure garbage. As a result, I assume Hans is a moderator for several forums there.
