Big deal. Everybody knows LA is crowded, expensive and the traffic is awful. Still an amazing place to be. Even in that article, they managed to slip that in:

I don't like how many people have the wrong idea about LA — they think LA is horrible and filled with snotty people. Some think LA is only Beverly Hills and they forget about the culture, cool neighborhoods, and really nice people. I love it here!

California is by far the most progressive state in the USA..... they are so far ahead that it looks like they've left America already .... or are they just Woke !!



Not in a good way, and way Before the terrible disaster of the fires.
Everything goes in CA and it may have been nice at one time YEARS ago for the Scenery and weather.

What State in US would want to be like CA! Maybe NY at the rate they been going socially and politically.

One of the great things about California is the size and variety of everything in it. Driving from the top to the bottom is at least a two-day drive. It has lots of coastline. Mountains. Deserts. lakes. If some other state has something, California probably has it, too, except for the crummy weather and certain critters unique to other places. Go ahead and gripe about the Liberal politics, but California has some conservative areas, too, like the Central Valley, & the rural area East of LA.

No, but I wish. Universal healthcare and the higher quality of life would be a nice addition. Selling off parts of the US would take an act of Congress, and it's unlikely the rest of the US would be happy to give up 20% of the national economy.

After much hand wrangling, much resistance, mental agony and coming to the conclusion that it is beyond California capabilities alone to handle the fallout from the LA wildfires, Newsome has formally asked for 40M aid acknowledging that such aid will come with conditions, one being voter I.D.

Only in America, does polticians kick up fuss about voter I.D and think it is racist to ask for one when it is voting time!

It's fake news. Obviously, dead people don't vote. Their living relatives could possibly vote in their names, but more likely, it's people reading voter rolls and matching names of living people to their list of dead people. You may be confusing dead people not-yet removed from voter rolls, which could be in the millions, but any of those having votes turned in is very rare.

It is impossible, however, that anybody aged 360 collecting Social Security. Especially considering that Social Security hasn't been around for 100 years. You may have heard that 150-year-olds are collecting SS, but that's also wrong. Don't believe Trump or Elon Musk on the subject.

Voter ID laws sound like a good idea, but they're not really necessary, considering all the information the government already collects on everybody. Without looking at your driver's license, they already know your name, age, address, recent purchases, payment history, and your signature is digitized in their databases. I can look up my ballot receipt by giving the number of my address (leaving out the street name) and the day of birth (no month) plus my zip code. requiring government ID cards is redundant and just keeps legal citizens from voting.

Thus making it more convenient for illegal immigrants to vote.

Only in America.

Verifying identification and citizenship is necessary for voting in elections.

No chance illegal immigrants can register to vote in California. Without their birth records in the databases, they instantly get flagged as ineligible. While they could go to polling stations and cast provisional ballots, those ballots wouldn't pass validation or get counted, and casting those votes is a crime, so they'd be putting themselves at further legal risk for a statistically insignificant vote.

Not only in America. I'm sure other countries have similarly advanced computer networks, like in Germany and Japan.
