California will be left behind

Gov. Jerry “Don Quixote’s” appointment of Attorney General Xavier “Sancho Panza” Becerra to lead the assault on climate change should pretty much kill all remaining decent-paying jobs in California outside of government union jobs and the planned obsolescent computer/phone industry.

The anti-business attitude of the new Puritan left that desires to force its fantasy philosophy will continue to ensure high housing costs and low wages. California is sure to be left behind the rest of the country in the new administration’s pro-growth policies.
