From Nick Nolte:
Nolte: California’s Leftist Utopia Can’t Even Keep the Electricity On
California is a failed state.
A failed state is one that cannot deliver the basics: personal safety, adequate shelter, adequate transportation, and basic sanitation.
Those are the only things we need local government for, and that is all government should be for, and sane people understand that. But there are not enough sane people in California to fix a state that is almost certainly beyond repair, too far gone to ever come up with the 51 percent of voters needed to put sane, grounded leaders into the state capitol. I am talking about leaders who will focus on the basics before they chase the unicorn of a green energy utopia, who are not willing to watch responsible home and business owners chased away by outrageous taxes, regulations, and fuel costs, but are willing to defy the enviro-nuts to remove the brush and trees close to power lines.
Even New York City, at its worst in the seventies, was not as failed as the state of California is now.
As I write this, millions and millions of Californians, who pay outrageously high taxes, are having their electricity cut off for up to a full week because 1) Californian can afford to give illegal aliens free health care and welfare, but not bury power lines, and 2) California can waste untold billions on green energy boondoggles but refuses to upset Mother Earth by implementing proven forest management techniques.
Apparently Mother Earth would rather burn than receive a brush-cut.
