At this point maybe California should just become independent. Giving their money to states like Alabama is just a waste of resources.
Any southern state really. Not one of them have room to talk. And for GA and NC I can say that from first hand experience.
Turns out people don’t like it when you kidnap their friends and family.
Of course, perhaps conservatives don’t understand this.
That’s because conservatives think they’ll always be the kidnappers.
Imagine if Obama did this exact same series of events. He wouldn’t have gotten this far, because he’d be assassinated, or at the very least impeached, by now.
Because the rules for conservative and liberals are very different.
Democrats, by in large, respect the rule of law and their base will reject candidates that don’t. Conservatives simply want to be the ones giving orders and not necessarily following them. So the Venn diagram of mutual interests only intersects when a democrat does something that both sides disagree with.
Republicans cry foul whenever a Democrat exceeds the debt ceiling but you don’t hear a fucking peep from them when Trump causes the national debt to lower our credit rating.
We need to purge ourselves from conservatives. And the window to do so is closing quickly.
Losing friends and family is normal to a conservative.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote Monday in a post to X.
Meanwhile, over here in California, kids are literate. Alabama can’t claim that.
Fuck you, Tommy, you stupid piece of shit. I don’t love my gov (I quite dislike him, though he’s been all right in the last two days). At least his name doesn’t sound childish: Tommy Tuberville, the guy who held up military promotions because he’s a bigot. Get fucked, bud.
Meanwhile, over here in California, kids are literate.
California, shockingly, has the lowest literacy rate of any state
“We really haven’t been investing” for decades, she said. “We’ve been underspending the entire time.”
California, currently sitting on a surplus bigger than many states’ entire budgets, has for years spent less – about 13 percent less – than the national average on K-12 schools. Recent research shows that even high-performing California students score lower on standard tests than their counterparts in better performing states.
School spending, of course, is only one factor shaping California’s dismal literacy rate. The state has the most diverse population in the country, more than 200 languages are spoken here. California also has the biggest wealth chasm.
…
Parental education might be the biggest factor. But income disparity – which is linked to parental education – plays a role as well. A big role. States with large percentages of highly literate parents unsurprisingly had highly proficient 8th graders, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Those states also had, among other things, more libraries per capita than the national average.
California has the most public libraries of any state, with 1,130, said State Librarian Greg Lucas, but because of its huge population, the state falls below the per-capita national average. California has 4.5 libraries per 100,000, and the national average is 5.2.
Lucas said public libraries help school kids who speak one of California’s 200-plus languages to find reading material, while also helping adults whose hopes of a better job require some level of literacy.
…
“There are stacks of studies that show that caregivers who talk, read and sing help build an appetite for reading. And there’s another big stack that says a kid succeeds better at a school with a teacher librarian,” he added.
California, unfortunately, trails the pack on that measure, too. The state has about 900 teacher-librarians (credentialed teachers with a library sciences degree) for its more than 6 million school kids. Texas has around 4,300 such specialists and a million fewer kids.
Even with this revised data, California has some of the worst literacy rates in the nation to the point of being worse that Alabama
It’s not the biased bullshit that you first presented. You’re still called out.
Oh fuck. They’re gonna force Newsom for 2028 aren’t they.
If he were to get elected in 2028, the 2032 election is guaranteed a Nazi win with a leader that isn’t wholly incompetent the next time. No one should primary that shit stain.
Exactly what it looks like. He is becoming the face of the opposition. Just another establishment candidate. 🙄
I was a supporter for a while, but the more I get to know him, the less I like him. He’s just another Corporatist Republican-Lite Democrat, and those are the losers that got HitlerPig elected in the first place. If he becomes President, HitlerPig, or someone worse, will be back in office in 2032.
I want the next Democratic president to be an aggressive, no apology, hard core reformer, who isn’t afraid to stand up to Sociopathic Oligarchs and Traitors.
If things keep escalating it’ll be interesting to see who is still alive to run in 2028
LA is a third world country.
Louisiana, that is.
Can’t be, third world countries often have publicly funded healthcare
I was in Louisiana for work a few times last year, my first visits to the state. I can’t stand their politics, but their music and food are first rate. I could live there if their politics weren’t so offensive.
That could honestly apply to a ton of shitty states.
Tuberville did accidentally make one valid point. The rule of law is indeed non-existent. Just look at that convicted felon in the White House and all the illegal stuff he’s still doing.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote Monday in a post to X.
“Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”
California is not even in the top 20 (homicide rates, FBI data).
Alabama #4, California #25
Birmingham #6, Oakland, #37 LA #41
In 2023, the United States had the highest homicide rate among G7 countries, with 5.76 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
This was significantly higher than other G7 nations like Canada (1.98 per 100,000) and Japan (0.23 per 100,000). The US firearm homicide rate is also notably higher than that of other industrialized countries, with some studies showing it to be 26 times greater.
Everyone in America has already lost this competition. Californians and Alabamans are arguing over whose shit stinks worse, while they’re up to their hips in excrement.
What third world country charges $2700 for a 1br
Switzerland
Nice to see at least one other person understands the definition of “Third World Country”
Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union the meaning has shifted from non-aligned to underdeveloped or developing nations.
That or a reggae fusion band from Kingston Jamaica.
Under the old definition, has Krasnov made the USA a second world nation?
Fucking tuberville doesn’t even understand what the rule of law means. He thinks it’s people respecting police or something.
I would remind people of the “come over for supper” rule. Call your neighbor a shit head, fine. But they’re welcome to come for supper. What’s the plan? Just chisel California off and let it drift?
