The current government corruption in much of the United States is making a lot of 3rd world countries pale in comparison.

Indeed. Chicago and NYC are good comparisons. Mamdami: "We found 12 billion dollars between the sheets to pay off our deficit"

Dude has never run a Taco Bell much less a city. And isn't he a failed rapper (lol) who has been basically living off of mommy and daddy's money and never had a real job? And now he has balanced the budget after only a few months in office? Sure. Uh huh.

You knew this was going to happen though. He's a smooth talker to be sure, but if anyone thinks this guy, a socialist, has the wits to turn around a city with the problems of NY in just a few months is one who is deserving of a special price on the Brooklyn Bridge.

This dude is a socialist puppet who, I wouldn't doubt, is being told what to do and what to say at every turn. Thinking this guy who has never held a real job is the savior of NYC, with his agenda, is doing this all on his own? Yeah, sure.

We knew people would run cover for him to make him look good though, and make him appear like he's doing a good job.

Hard to disagree!

Well, ballot is in.
Independent here but have always gone conservative.
And this time around no difference.
All Rs up one side and down the other.
Now, praying to God that He'll give those of us who are trying to make a better difference His blessing on this one. This time around.

So Chevron calls out Newsome and his pirate crew for artificially increasing the price of gas. Here is Newsome's response

I love this guy.


If he's elected and things drastically improve, his rivals will immediately start complaining "No on can eat off the streets yet. He promised!"

I live in a Texas city where it is against municipal code to wash your driveway or sidewalks with water. If you do so without a waiver for "health reasons" (which I assume you can get to wash off the blood if someone is shot on your sidewalk), you will be fined heavily.

Due to water shortage or just flexiing their political clout?

Good question. There's a 3rd possibility: virtue signaling.

It once was simply a condition of the higher drought stages. Now there are restrictions on water usage year-round and certain of those apply regardless of whether we are in any level of drought at all. During the same time, they have tightened restrictions on washing your own cars at home, which is now only permitted on weekends.

This coincides with the wholesale closure of self-service car washes as well as the automated mini car washes attached to convenience stores all over the city. You can drive around town and see shuttered and abandoned self-service car washes everywhere; not to mention the convenience store minis that have been converted to CBD smoke shops. The only places you will find them are in the enclave cities that have been engulfed by their behemoth neighbor. This coincides with a sudden explosion of full-service or large automated car washes everywhere you go. A quarter mile up the main drag outside my neighborhood, there are three such places just opened, each within three city blocks of the other on the same street, and another 6-8 within a one mile drive. It really makes you wonder what they city's motivation is in curtailing water rights and forcing people to use these other facilities. It has to be more than simply the sales tax revenue you would think.

That California stuff seems to creep into everywhere.
