The most leveraged state of them all, California is drowning in debt. The typical person in the state earns $28,068 a year on average and owes $65,740. With house prices expensive, mortgage debt is the main culprit, but credit card debt is high in the state too – California has the third-highest credit card debt in the country.

They pay to support illegal immigration, and remain a magnet for natural disasters

The state is 400 billion in debt
. Pensions and bonds are a mess

When things get bad, people vote Democratic for safety nets, the trouble is the Democratic leadership in the state the reason for the problems.

You missed the boat

Bitcoin tops $16,000

An USD 1000 #bitcoin investment in July 2010 would now be worth USD 286 million!

California jumped ahead of France and Brazil last year to become the 6th largest economy in the world.
Without California we'd have to cut our military by at least a third.

Median household income is over 70K per year. The figure Coach is using is closer to their per capita income which
includes kids in the base. It's also a big state, some areas have high housing costs, other areas do not.

Cali has Google, Facebook, Amazon and other large tech giants. Combined these Tech Giants are something like the 7th largest economy in the world.

But what good is 70k a year for the median household when you can't buy a house or save money due to the high taxes?

Work is for suckers. Live off the government and move into Section 8 housing.
 
California school project defines learned attitude towards rest of Country

Congress has been petitioned to enforce new " Liberal Zones " to protect the rest of the Country from being infested with any possible threat of socialist blight spreading to current productive areas.

Truth be told, anti-Trump Californians fit this mold to a 'T'

Those images sum up why liberals hate Trump. He's taking away their base by speaking his mind, and cannot be pigeonholed due to his use of social media.
 
Outside of some computer companies what do they make in California?. I think we will be fine without California. On the other hand California is pretty much ****** without the electricity and water they get from Nevada and Arizona. I'm really not buying into the sixth largest economy in the world hype. And I know for a fact that if California broke away Mexico would invade and take over within a week with the help of all the illegals that they invited in to vote Democrat in the last election.

They have some nice farms, and make good wine besides having a few giant tech companies, who save their state.

The State is fine, the politicians who run it are not. LA is perhaps the worst looking major city I have seen. A real dump. And Oakland looks like a former war zone. Just terrible.
 
California trees are racist!



'Racist' trees separating a black neighborhood from a golf course will come down


Palm Springs will remove a row of trees blocking a historically African-American neighborhood from a city-owned golf course.

Many longtime residents of the neighborhood previously told the (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun they believed the trees were planted for racist reasons in the 1960s, and remained a lasting remnant of the history of segregation in the city. Residents said the invasive tamarisks, which block views of the Tahquitz Creek Golf Course and San Jacinto mountains, have artificially depressed property values and prevented black families from accumulating wealth in their property over the past half century.

WE know what happens next....

Remove the racist trees and those white racist golf balls will rain down on their neighborhood oppressing them even more!
 
I'd hit a little baby left to right 5 iron there. Of course, with no trees I'd have to adjust.

I would like to see the houses that they are claiming have low property value because of these trees. If you have ever watched flip or flop on HGTV you know that even crashed out shotgun houses go for upwards of 300 K and in California.

I'm thinkin' it really doesn't matter what they look like now 'D'. If they take them trees down, it's what they will look like in a year from now. Golf courses put them tree barriers up for a reason, most public links golfers suck at that aiming stuff.

After a very short period of time they will be screamin' for the trees to be put back...you watch. I remember a proud moment of my own when I hit a duck hook onto a brand new home, still under construction. The clay barrel tile pieces came raining down off the roof like water off a slicker. Them workers were pissed but they weren't near as fast as that golf cart ..LOL
 
I once hit two windows of two different mansions within 30 minutes of each other. My brother in law conned me into playing a scramble on a course in Indiana that was WAY too upscale for my playing abilities, so I was nervous as **** to begin with. These ******* mansions closely lined both sides of the fairways on several holes. I knew I was in trouble from the tee off. I'm that guy who hits a great golf shot about once out of every four swings. The other three swings range from "Meh" to "Oh ****!". Hit two massive slices and just drilled these windows lol. I found out how tough that plexi glass they use is because those suckers just bounced off. Didn't really cut down on the embarrassment factor though. I was wishing someone would get me out of there by the 2nd hole. I'm more of a "heavily wooded area and nothing breakable close by" type of golfer.

I've hit a lot of houses. And I laughed my *** off every time. I golf for fun, with beer and cigars. I'm not one of those ******** who breaks clubs.

Same here.
 
I have little hope that California can be redeemed at thi point. I hope that I am wrong, but the smart people are fleeing, leaving the socialists and illegal parasites to run the place. It is sinking with debt, and it's educational system is a socialist cesspool, and crumbling. Just ask Steeltime.

Problem is, it's not JUST the smart people moving out. Texas is slowly but surely purpling up after being predominantly red for so long.

I never got it... and this goes for legal/illegal immigrants, too... you leave a place you called home cuz it was so ****** that you had to escape. But once you move into a new town/country you want everything you had back home? Talk about illogical.
