it's not just your fault, Mexibro
if only Emperor Norton were here, he'd have helped both of us.
I want the drought to end calibros.

If I can list a few of the issues:
>drought
>strong division between conservatives and liberals
>Jews are too rich
>race issues which have roots in historic conflicts of the settlement in the 1800's and probably also now are the fallout of well-intended but ultimately flawed liberal policies
>the above is even more of a problem now that non-Hispanic whites and non-white/white Hispanics are relatively equal, with a small majority in favor of Hispanics.
>divide between really rich and really poor getting wider
>conflict between the really religious who feel left out of the political process and rich liberals
>being colonized by other states
>being reclaimed by Mexico in the South
>Asian immigration surpassing Mexican immigration (good or bad?)
>all these plans to break up the state that keep popping up
>Anti-Assad Syrian refugees inbound
>centralization of power in Sacramento (whether that's good or bad I guess depends on your political views)
>Republicans are all fundamental Christians or people with strong family ties out of state, or are poor Mexicans
>Democrats are all super liberal Jews with money, rich Mexicans or live in Silicon Valley.
>gang violence is still a problem
>debt up to our ass
>unemployment
>feds keep trying to shut down weed clinics, republicans keep wanting to help them
>cost of living keeps getting more expensive
it's getting so bad we actually have black flight
>>51091900
sounds apocalyptic. is their any hope in sight?
>>51090328
>California will run out of water by Christmas
>>51091993
Jerry seems to think that high speed rail will help, but that's a shit load of money
I've also noticed more people I talk to where I live little by little are starting to see themselves as "Californian first, American second." Maybe that's a good thing? I certainly find myself feeling that way sometimes.
>>51092151
Once californians try to break free the US has a reason to invade the state, and a little purging on the side always calms things down, trust me I got experience, guess why youre building the high speed rails?:^)

chart's a bit old but...

>republicans keep wanting to help weed clinics
not in my county lol
>>51092423
I meant help the feds shut them down.
I feel like restrictions on marijuana, depending on how zealous people are about it, will probably restrict hemp growing, which even if you don't smoke, could actually help us out more. Plus, either way, what else is there to do when you're not working?
So what's the problem with California? Apart from lack of water, but anything big?
>>51092485
It's a bit of a bureaucratic mess and there are a lot of poor people (oh and the drought), but it's not as apocalyptic as conservatives here would make it seem.
>>51092521
Did you know Finland has large reserves of water, and we are in desperate need of freedom and democracy!
>>51092521
I hate how conservatives complain the way they do. Seriously, I consider myself conservative (former socialist til I grew up), but listening to some of these guys, they're just cringeworthy. Besides, Arnold shares a good portion of the blame. At least Jerry Brown has kinda relieved some of the debt, but once he's out, it's probably all over.
>>51092388
You gonna get raped, 88 dubs confirm it.
>>51092551
Fun fact: We once considered building a water pipeline from Alaska to California.
>>51092625
If Texas and Oregon/Washington wanted to secede, they might join forces with us if we asked.
Ruskies would help us if we asked too...wouldn't they?
>>51092682
The US would nuke you before they let you go mate, and Texas would never work together with you kek
>>51092680
Just pump trillions into desalination of sea water?
your own fault desu
the only reason why Americans moved from the 13 Colonies area to Cali was gold and you don't even mine gold anymore
>>51092811
Don't listen to OP, he probably forgets that Silicon Valley, Central Valley, and Hollywood are all in California sometimes.
>>51092895
>all the bases of the oligarchs
>>51092745
you are correct. We would never help commiefornia
>>51092811
>your own fault desu
It is our fault for letting too many Jews in.
>>51093443
They dont deserve it, I know.
>>51090328

>>51096779
