What’s going in America’s most populous, wealthiest, and perhaps Bluest state?
Well, of course, lawmakers want to hike taxes. Housing is still wildly expensive. Hostility toward business seems to be a policy priority. And the plastic police are more zealous than ever.
If only California were more like Texas — or Florida. It’s not being overrun with Medieval diseases the way California is. Nor is it conducting an experiment in socialism as is the Golden State.
The path is unsustainable. A reckoning is coming. Either policymakers will shift direction, or this slow-moving disaster will cause voters to make the necessary changes. California cannot afford to become even Bluer.
