California voters send a stark message to Democrats on crime and homelessness

[boutons_deux]

"But then there was a take counteroffensive.

Many progressives noted that California Attorney General Rob Bonta trounced everyone else in the state’s jungle primary, despite attacks on him for being a squishy, soft-on-crime lib.

Activists pointed to the upset victory of Yesenia Sanchez in the race for sheriff of Alameda County, across the Bay from San Francisco, as a sign that “criminal justice reform is alive in the Bay Area.”

Next door in Contra Costa County, progressive District Attorney Diana Becton cruised to reelection despite strenuous efforts from law enforcement groups to defeat her

Thus if Boudin’s defeat proved that criminal justice reform is a terrible political loser, these data points must somehow mean that criminal justice reform is also a political winner."

conclusion: that none of these races had a larger significance at all about the views of Californians and Americans in general.

55 percent of San Franciscans who voted chose to recall Boudin.

But voter turnout was only about 46 percent,

so just 25 percent San Francisco’s voters actually went to the polls and cast a ballot to oust Boudin.

You're the one who said poor people. Chop chop.

What does that have to do with companies? chop chop

You tell me, you said you'd call them poor. Which of these are poor?

This is what you replied to:

changing the subject

but, I'll indulge: if you're poor, you certainly should be moving to hole states like Texas or Florida, tbh...

California, the largest economy in the US by a long mile, has definitely become overpopulated and housing prices are prohibitive. A victim of it's own success in those areas, and why lowly states like Texas are begging California companies to move there.

But certainly, if you can't afford to live here, you should definitely seek your fortune with the rest of the peasants in cheaper states like Texas, etc...

Where did I say companies are poor?

As for your list, post-goalpost move, I already pointed out which ones I would call poor and which ones I wouldn't. What wasn't clear about that?

Nono,
In between your conversing with dipstick, do you find Gruesome Newsomes gas payment timing to be 100% political?
Not a humanitarian or justice drop in it imo.

give a lot of Californians $1050 but not until just before the November elections.

Of course it's political, and I say this despite that I won't qualify for the payment.

I mean, I would? Except for GlobalFoundries and Tesla? That said, most of those companies are simply moving their HQs for tax purposes (companies moving to NY would be the exception here, I suspect there was a tax break involved). ie: Tesla Motors is not moving operations away from California. They're keeping their factory here, since California happens to be their largest market as well.

GreenDot is worth almost 2 billion. Gordon Ramsay is worth hundreds of millions. Do I even need to keep going, I selected two randomly.

What do you consider poor

I mean, we're comparing against California companies, right?

Apple: $2.3 trillion
Google: $1.5 trillion
Facebook: $459 billion
Visa: $425 billion
NVidia: $377 billion
Exxon Mobil: $350 billion

and I won't even bother to list anything below $300 billion, tbh...

Apple alone probably dwarfs your entire list combined... it's just a different league.

As I pointed out, Tesla (700 billion) and GlobalFoundries (15 billion) are probably the only relatively notable on that list, and Tesla specifically the only thing is moving is their HQ. They know who's buying their cars, over 1 out of 3 EVs are sold in California, with Tesla dominating sales:

Drug dealing was a central issue in San Francisco like 5 years ago

Oh, they are way beyond that point today. It's one thing when the poor inner city has crime. People can always work their way outta poverty. But when the middle class is being targeted. Your car will be ransacked and you will be abused on the Metro.
