California is so totally wasted on its inhabitants.

I hung around there quite a bit in 1980. It was pretty cool.
Lived in Redondo, worked at Martin Marietta on Western.
I have recently been doing business travel north of there (Avila Beach) and it just gets better.. they are nice people also (mostly), but the cut there between the working poor and super rich is astounding. I think rationalizing all that (on both sides) make for an interesting political organism.. something you can’t really understand unless you live there I guess. Its also a reason that all politics should be local and not forced on us from afar. I blame the 17th amendment for that nonsense.
I live near enough to there that it’s only a short jaunt to that very intersection for dinner (Before the Covid shutdown destroyed the very good non-chain restaurants).
“California is so totally wasted on its inhabitants.” Truer words were never spoken. And not just for the people who can see the ocean from their rooftops.
