I expanded on the horrors of California's government for @TheSpectator. It's much worse than you think.
Thread:
1/ Lack of resources in the face of a natural disaster cannot be blamed on global warming:
2/ The Keynesian fiscal policy experiment that is California has failed. Here's how the state fares for roads, education and public safety despite all those taxes:
3/ California's high progressive taxes & endless welfare have also failed. It has the highest poverty rate in the US despite being the 4th largest economy in the world.
Many who push back on this are using outdated measures:
4/ The questions we should be asking are: wtf happened to California and how did we, as individuals, let this happen?
5/ If the LA fires had been handled competently, it would have been an outlier for the Californian government.
The time for revolution is now.
