    Like I say, half the people to leave, and I'll come back! I love my home state. It's just some of the people....

    I wish more would. That way, people from California can stay in California. And people not from there would stay out.

    Until something better comes along, we're stuck with it as is.

    Awww, you spilled the beans. He was so happy knowing that brake pads were made of asbestos. Shame on you.

    Most native Californians aren't of the liberal freak mindset that the big coastal cities attract. I remember moving to Marin County in 1977 from Ohio. The most common bumper sticker I would see back then said "Welcome to California. Now go home". Over the last 30 years, kids who grew up here and went to college were brainwashed by their commie professors who turned them into mindless wimps. The hippies of the summer of love grew up, got elected into public office, and ran the state into the ground.

    What I say is they need to do this if it is passed by all means every driver stop driving because it's unsafe tell your Driver manager, dispatcher or w/e to test it and watch them try to stop. make sure you stay out the general direction and I need a notice from you super truckers letting me know when you drive w/o breaks because ones I have been seeing lately pretty dumb I think there IQ in single-digit had one just while back seen hit a guard rail from a turn off because last second he had to make that turn as if he was in a car as a dumb arse and this was the most pleasant one just recently.

    One Saturday afternoon I rode to a pub across from a court house. Sitting at an outside table enjoying a beer, I saw these protesters walking down the sidewalk. They stop at the courthouse, the leader climbs to the top of the stairs and uses her microphone to denounce the evil white people that’s been holding her people down.

    It’s hilarious watching people protest things which they know nothing about.


    Et tu, Brute’?

    If they want to save California, they should ban people. People create the problems, but can’t solve them o_O

    I was born and raised in California. Lived there until I was around 45 yrs old. I only left after I started driving a truck otr and it was better for me to live more in the middle of the country. Like @REO6205
    I was born and raised in California. I graduated high school in '67, the summer of love. In the Bay Area. What a summer. All of the "hippy" friends I had then outgrew it pretty fast and were always pretty conservative after that. It took more than that generation to pull Cali down to the level it is at now.
    But I would still go back out there to live in a minute if the costs weren't so outrageous.
