This is what happens when you have a one-party rule state. The rest of us are dragged down with their ideological rule instead of reality. Everything in this state is much more expensive than most other states yet the voters continue to vote in the same people who would rather promote their ideology rather than do what’s best for the citizens of this state. That’s why so many are leaving California for other states that make their citizens’ livelihoods a priority. I fear nothing is going to change until voters wake up.

We’re getting screwed, deliberately, and the people in Sacramento screwing us are laughing themselves silly. It’s a feature, not a bug.
