Once more into the breech, dear friends:
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is known for making hyperbolic predictions about the US economy – and this time he has a grim prognosis for the most populous state in the nation.
‘The problem is California is going broke,’ he wrote on X. ‘California will begin raising taxes and cutting subsidies to the poor, to prisons, environmental problems, and teachers unions. That means crime will spread as police will be cut.’
He believes even Americans who don’t live in the Golden State should care about its prospects because it’s a bell weather for the rest of the country.
‘Since California is a Bell Weather state and is going broke, which states will follow?’ he asked.
I think he means “bellwether” and not “bell weather”, which is meaningless.
The article was otherwise quite informative, hence why the above atrocity was such a speed bump — I stopped reading it to write this post as I usually do in these circumstances.
Poxy illiterates.
And yes, I know that the correct quote is “once more unto the breech” (from Shakespeare’s Henry V ).
It was a test to see if anyone was paying attention.
Well you can count Colorado as being one that will follow. Too many arguments around here basically saying that if they do it in either Europe or California, we would be stupid not to do it here.
Already eyeing up what other states we might live in.
I thought it was “Once more unto the breach…” not “breech.”
Well done!
I thought nobody would catch it.
Yes, it was intentional.
How long before the request/demand for a Federal bailout?
As long as there are two senators from California and 98 not from California a bailout will be hard to get passed.
I put one of my legs into the breech, at least twice every day.
“Where do you keep your armies, General?”
“In my sleevies!”
“wether”; “male sheep,” especially when castrated
Yup.
