Another mass shooting

Pat Hartman said:
You are agreeing with the press which is totally biased.

You were agreeing with the spin. Israel is NOT responsible for the dead civilians. Hamas is. Hamas is lying about the numbers also. Look how they lied about the hospital and the missile that landed in the parking lot. As long as you keep blaming Israel, Hamas has won the propaganda war.

Only in your eyes. War is ugly. War is stupid. Civilians die. In this particular conflict, the pansy Hamas terrorists who wear masks to hide their identities hide behind women and children and invalids. Why don't you call them out instead of blaming Israel? Instead, you agree with the propaganda that blames Israel for the conflict.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in around 2004. How has Gaza fared since then? How has the billions donated to the Palestinian cause been spent? Let me help you out. They didn't upgrade the water supply. They didn't encourage investment to provide jobs for the people living in Gaza. They didn't upgrade the hospitals. They didn't distribute the non-monetary aid. They sold it to their captive audience. And they spent the money on luxury villas for themselves abroad and missiles with which to target Israeli citizens, not military sites. These are the people you are siding with by not actually supporting Israel. You say you support them but your words ring hollow when you agree with the propaganda lies.

Once again, out of context. You are consistent,I will give you that.
What about the Ukraine?

While I don't disagree with your analysis, I will say we can't PRINT our way out of this mess by funding Ukraine, Israel indefinitely.

Eventually the chickens will come home to roost and we will be broke like the old soviet union.

Two points here.
There are no messures possible to alter the course of national debt. Our economy is dependent on it. In fact the global economy is sustained by the debt.
Point two, in sometime in the late 90s the adjusted for inflation cost of WWII to the US was 12 Trillian dollars. What would a full scale invasions in Europe cost now? If China is embolden by a failure in the Ukraine,

Is that high for you? I think maybe business has declared war on California.
 
Considering the recent California minimum wage boost (to $20/hr) that is now putting various restaurants out of business, it is hard to see that business has declared war on California. It is more that businesses have started full-scale retreat. When the folks in California can no longer get fast food or dine in family-scale small restaurants, they MIGHT eventually get the picture. When theaters cannot afford a clean-up staff and cannot afford concession-stand help, there go the theaters. When small non-chain stores cannot afford the sales clerk, there go the stores. The dominoes are falling slowly, but they ARE falling. The REAL fun comes when enough businesses fold and that source of tax revenue dries up.
 
Other liberal states will adopt the same nonsense given enough time.

Just another step in the total elimination of employment. Automation of one kind or another is coming for every human job. We better get that matrix thing going pretty quick.

They are odds, there are plenty shots fired from both side. Tesla and SpaceX both coming here. Austin becoming a major Tech center.
Soon enough the Texas landscape will resemble California's.
It doesn't matter though,California's new inflationary fast foodact is going to provide the needed capital to expand the robot business.lets just hope we build them here in Texas. Lol

I think I have to inject a little bit of skepticism on that one. Robot-prepared fast food requires a capital investment but it ALSO requires customers who have not already gotten so fed up with the state as to move away from it. And the exodus to the east has already started. Nevada, Arizona, and Texas have benefited from the population boost.

Adam's comment is actually not far out of line either. California shouldn't be a state. It should be two states - North California and South California. If that happened (and I recall there WAS a movement for just that goal), the northern half would be more conservative and the southern half would be more liberal. That is exactly why the movement was initiated but the problem is that the northern part doesn't have the votes in the CA legislature and thus has to look to other ways to make it happen.
 
California is the 5th largest economy in the world for the seventh consecutive year, with a nominal GDP of nearly $3.9 trillion in 2023 and a growth rate of 6.1% since the year prior, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). On a per capita basis, California is the second largest economy in the world.

Must be doing something right.

The "exodus" will self correct as soon as their real-estate values come in line with the rest of the country. This is not California trying to become communist. This is a direct result of California businesses becoming so incredibly successful and driving the housing cost to unsustainable highs.

Robots are coming for every job. and parking lot sized vending machines are next.
