…has become a predator’s paradise.
The solution to this is to legalize prostitution, and re-outlaw streetwalking, and pimping. Like drug dealers, the pimps are empowered by the illegality.

Here come the bugs. We’ll own nothing, eat insects, and like it.
The California Dream
How it became a nightmare.
I wanted to move to California ever since I was a kid in Michigan, and a few decades ago, I did. I still love the climate and the scenery, but the government, in both the coastal cities and Sacramento, is becoming more disastrous by the year.
Spying Televisions
Some advice on how to stop it. But I’m surprised that she doesn’t provide the simplest solution, which is what I do: Don’t give it your wifi password. The assumption seems to be here that you are using the “smart” features of the television, but I just use mine for a video monitor.
Russia
The world economy no longer needs it.
Putin’s blackmail attempt against Europe has failed.
The Recycling Religion
Yes, it’s a waste of time and money.
Al Gore
No, dumbass, the oceans are not “boiling.”

The State Of The Economy
The Mess In California
Thoughts from Joel Kotkin:
…to thrive and evolve, these firms need a more positive business climate, Sadeghi says. Attempts to impose a wealth tax would not fit into the plans of aspiring entrepreneurs, some of whom have already exited the state.
The Legislature is also mulling over a proposal to reduce the workweek to four days or 32 hours, and has already passed a host of bills meant to regulate small businesses, such as fast-food outlets. This will not help encourage entrepreneurs to start businesses here.
Essentially, California can go one of two ways. It can continue on its current path, toxic for its middle and working classes, driving away even long-established businesses, and hope that another tech bubble will come around to pay the price for immiseration. Or it can focus, as it has before, on improving basic infrastructure such as roads and water, and on creating opportunities for entrepreneurial ventures that will benefit the state’s citizens and communities.
Unfortunately, my money’s on continuing on the current path.
