It was a mistake, I meant east, you know and everyone else knows I meant east, and instead of actually discussing any of points in my post, you and others get off topic and derail a meaningful thread.

yeah. But it was a funny opportunity. Life is not all serious problem solving by influential people on random Internet forums.

Terrific cartoon too by the way. Love it. Thanks.

Yeah, the coastal strip from Marin to San Diego is doing nicely. As others have said, inland California (save for the Inland Empire - which is for all intents and purposes Greater Los Angeles) is still doing poorly.

Apparently typos are grounds for ignoring any valid points.

I'm going to steal this from you and post it in the politics subforum. I hope you don't mind.

So... the 'only' places in California doing well are the largest metropolitan area (Los Angeles/Orange County/Inland Empire), the second-largest metropolitan area (San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland), the third-largest metropolitan area (San Diego) - which, after all, only account for a mere 30 million people...

But wait! Then there's the rest of the coastal populations you mention, such as Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz. And while not all of the state is booming jobs-wise (Sacramento and Bakersfield, for example, aren't keeping pace with the statewide average), Fresno and Chico and Redding and Napa and Santa Rosa are running well ahead of it, and even El Centro and Stockton are more than keeping pace (you didn't actually read the linked jobs report, did you?).

So, to sum it all up, except for Los Angeles and Orange County and the Inland Empire and San Diego and El Centro and Ventura County and Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz and Fresno and Stockton and San Jose and Oakland and San Francisco and Marin County and Santa Rosa and Chico and Redding - except for those places, the jobs situation in California really stinks.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Perfect. And I am going guess we can be considered fully back on topic now.

Don't worry California will break off and sink into the ocean soon.

Don’t believe everything that pretty boy Matt Damon tells you. If there ever was puppet for the left he’s the poster child.

Anybody bolstering an intensely-lobbied industrial pursuit like oil fracking is in no position to accuse another citizen opposing that lobby of being a "puppet". Do you have any idea how friggin dumb that is?

In related, but curiously under-reported news:


Capitol Alert: California's tax collections jumped by $18.2 billion in 2013

If you think other industries are not heavily lobbied and even corrupt you’re sadly mistaken. California has a few of these industries.

The sad part is I bet your carbon footprint still has a huge degree of oil dependence built into it.

The funnier part is when Californians complain about gas prices.
