The Golden State, California. I'm almost ashamed to admit I was born there in 1960. But it was a totally different place back then. But I knew that the overwhelming influence of Hollywood wasn't good in the long run.
It permeated everything. But it was still independent so to speak. Now it parrots the politically correct line of pretty much, one party.
It is actually worse now, unspeakable so. The fantasy of Hollywood has rubbed off so much that Californians have lost all sense of reality, or actually, they're in their own little bubble over there (see what I did there?); at least most of them are. And since they are lost in this fantasy, they do not have to take any responsibility for their own mismanagement of their resources, no, blame the fires on climate change and then up the ante to what? Prove a point? Oh no, make personal points for yourself with the rest of the loonies and blame it on something else, like you know, climate change. Yeah, thanks. Just make the insurance companies desert you that much faster you God damned idiots!
We can almost only hope that their latest "Calexit" plan(s) work, I would actually like to see how well they do after they leave the United States.
"Oil and gas companies would be liable for damages caused by climate change -related disasters in California under legislation introduced Monday by two Democratic lawmakers.
"The proposal, introduced by two Democratic lawmakers, claims that the oil industry intentionally deceived the public about the risks of fossil fuels on climate change that now have intensified storms and wildfires and caused billions of dollars in damage in California. Such disasters have also driven the state insurance market to a crisis where companies are raising rates, limiting coverage or pulling out completely from regions susceptible to wildfires and other natural disasters, supporters of the bill said."

"A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering. Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced Thursday that a measure introduced by Marcus Evans of Fresno must receive more than 500,000 signatures by late July.
"According to the text of the measure, the state would be required to create a 20-member state commission to study California's viability as an independent country in 2027 and to publish a report the following year."
