California faces 'severe revenue decline,' record $68 billion budget deficit as mass exodus continues

IRS data shows California has lost billions due to reduced tax revenues

California is facing a major budget crisis due to a "severe revenue decline," and a record $68 billion budget deficit, likely forcing Democrats running the state to cut spending as the mass exodus of people and businesses moving to Republican-run states continues.

CA state government depends on income taxes, specifically capital gains taxes. Those naturally fluctuate. CA's population is still really high. You can tell because their home prices are still really high.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

Newsome just told us all how great California is doing. He would never lie to us. He is such a charming individual.

Hopefully there's enough Democrats remaining, who haven't lost their minds, to recognize that nominating Gavin Newsom for the national ticket would be a monumental mistake.

California’s latest insane gender policy takes effect next month

...A law passed by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in 2021 is set to take effect in the new year, mandating “gender-neutral” toy sections in large toy retail stores. As the Washington Examiner reported after Newsom signed the bill, “Retail stores that fail to comply with the mandate risk being penalized with $250 fines for initial violations and $500 fines for all subsequent violations.”

What grave societal ill were legislators hoping to address?...



...There are so many problems with this that it’s hard to know where to begin.

For one, there’s just a question of priorities. With all the problems the state is facing, this is what the California state government is focused on?

Secondly, this regulation is a “solution” to a “problem” that doesn’t exist. There are exactly zero people who wake up every day thinking about how the real thing holding back their child’s development in life is the fact that some stores have gendered toy sections. And it’s not like stores categorize toys this way for anything more than convenience; parents are entirely free to buy their daughter's toys from the boy’s section or vice versa.

It used to be considered common sense in America that government intervention in private affairs is only ever justified when there’s a real threat to someone’s health or safety. But now, the ideology that reigns supreme in California barely blinks twice at inserting the state into the most mundane levels of people’s lives...

I haven't even seen a toy section that says boys or girls that I can remember. Sure toys are organized and people know which section is which but they aren't labeled except by the toy type.

Some liberal probably got mad after their son, who they are trying to groom, told her that he didn't want to shop for a toy in the girl section. He probably wants a dinosaur, lego, etc but she's trying to make him a girl and force him to like dolls.
