Nearly half of the nation’s Homeless are in
California!
Why in the world does anyone still want to live in
California? Great weather and good paying jobs are the two biggest
positives that residents often point out, but the high cost of living and the
absolutely ridiculous housing prices often eat up all of the extra money that
Californians think that they are making. In fact, it was recently
reported that it now takes approximately
$350,000 a year to live a middle class lifestyle in the city of San
Francisco.
If you have a ton of money,
it can partially insulate you from the problems that are increasingly ravaging
the state, but unless you never go out in public nothing is going to insulate
you completely. Cities all over the state are degenerating into
drug-infested, crime-ridden hellholes that are literally being overrun by
millions of rats. California has some of the worst traffic in the entire
world, unchecked illegal immigration is causing a whole host of social
problems, and gang activity has become a massive problem. On top of
everything else, California is being constantly hit by wildfires, mudslides,
earthquakes and other natural disasters. In fact, scientists tell us that
it is just a matter of time before “the Big One” hits, and that is probably one
of the best reasons to leave California while you still can and never look
back.
Yes, there are some California residents that continue to insist
that it is a great place to live.
But if California is so wonderful, why have more than half of all
California voters “considered leaving the state”? The following comes
from the
Los Angeles Times…
Just over half of California’s registered voters have considered
leaving the state, with soaring housing costs cited as the most common reason
for wanting to move, according to a new poll.
Young voters were especially likely to cite unaffordable housing
as a reason for leaving, according to the latest latest UC Berkeley
Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted for the Los Angeles Times. But a
different group, conservatives, also frequently suggested they wanted to leave
— and for a very different reason: They feel alienated from the state’s
political culture.
With the way the state is being run, conservatives have been moving
out of California in large numbers for years. In fact, I have a number of
really good friends that left the state for political reasons and will never
return.
On the other hand, California’s reputation for handing out free
goodies has been a magnet for another class of people. Today, almost
half of
all homeless people in the entire nation live in the state of California, and
this has become such a huge crisis that it literally makes headlines all over
the globe.
Cali Carlisle admits she is a heroin addict — ‘but in a healthy
way,’ she insists, even if the visual evidence belies that claim.
Her nose is the brightest shade of red imaginable. She constantly
picks at scabs all over her body. Her home is a makeshift bed beneath
Interstate 80 in Sacramento.
And Monday was her 26th birthday. Not that you would ever guess.
Anyone looking at her would think she is at least 15 years older.
This is the cold, hard reality of the glorious drug lifestyle that
so many go to California to experience.
Every year, thousands upon thousands of young people that once had
bright futures ahead of them end up on the streets, in prison or dead due to
this raging epidemic.
And one of the places where it is the worst is in the capital of
the state itself. Not too long ago, a salon owner in Sacramento made
headlines all over the nation when her rant about homelessness on social
media went
viral…
“I just want to tell you what happens when I get to work,” stated
Liz Novak, a local salon owner, to the media about what she’s had to deal with
trying to conduct business in Sacramento.
“I have to clean up the poop and the pee off of my doorstep. I
have to clean-up the syringes. I have to politely ask the people who I care for
– I care for these people that are homeless – to move their tents out of the
way of the door to my business.”
She ultimately had to move her salon completely because it became
clear that things were not going to get better any time soon.
In the state of California today, virtually everything has been
defiled.
At one time, California was teeming with natural beauty. But
today the entire state has become a trash dumpster, and that includes
California’s once pristine beaches. Just check out what Dr. Drew
Pinsky recently
told Laura Ingraham…
“There is an organization out here called Heal the Bay which keeps tabs on
safety of our beaches in Southern California, from Orange County to Ventura.
Since the rains last Winter, [Heal the Bay] has been giving our beaches C’s to
F’s, and F means completely overrun with fecal bacteria. What comes with that
are other things like syringes, Hepatitis A and other infectious diseases.”
On top of everything else, seismic activity is a constant threat.
There have been more than 1,500 earthquakes in California and
Nevada over the past 7 days, and these days that is considered to be a slow
week.
Of course most of the earthquakes are very small, but scientists
assure us that one of these days “the Big One” will hit the state. When
that day arrives, the geography of the state will
be radically changed, and the death and destruction will be off the charts.
We live at a time when our planet is being greatly shaken, and many believe that what
we have seen so far is just the beginning.
The coastline of the state of California lies directly along the
infamous “Ring of Fire”, and scientists have been persistently warning us that
the San Andreas fault is “locked and loaded” and could possibly “unzip all at once”.
It is such a shame what has happened to the state.
California should be one of the most beautiful, prosperous and enjoyable places
to live in the entire world
The
post It Is Time To Go: Over Half Of All California Voters “Have
Considered Leaving The State” appeared first on The
Economic Collapse.
While the city reportedly
had no role in placing the boulders, the San Francisco Public Works Department
does not plan to remove them because they don’t block the sidewalk, according
to KTVU. SFGATE reached out to the the Public Works Department for more information,
but did not get an immediate response.
Tactics aimed at keeping homeless individuals off the street are
nothing new in San Francisco.
For starters, the White House cited a need for deregulation. Many
states and municipalities have zoning rules regarding the construction of both
single-family and multifamily homes that have impeded builders’ ability to meet
the demand for housing. The resulting housing scarcity has driven up prices.
Experts and politicians across the political spectrum have suggested that
relaxing such regulations could provide a boost to building activity.

PARTING THOUGHT
Noted “Bond
King” and investing guru Jeffrey Gundlach is a fan of President Donald Trump
and his business-friendly economic policies.
The 2020 Democratic hopefuls … not so much, saying to “short them all” before
laying down a relentless comedy routine crushing top candidates like Joe Biden,
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, among others…this is why the
Far Left is working so hard to unseat Trump [using a flimsy Ukraine incident to
paint the most negative picture…what a bunch of hogwash-they should be
investigating their own Joe Biden & Son!]
Typically,
Democratic run cities & states are mismanaged…
Despite the fact that the total U.S. economy is still growing,
states have not been able to lower their unfunded liabilities. This is not good
news given that the rate of growth in the U.S. is starting to slow down,
“I don’t think billionaires should exist,” Sanders told The New
York Times. If his tax plan were put into effect, billionaires would lose half
their wealth in 15 years, provided all other factors (like their stock prices
or business values) remained constant.
California’s
New Cradle to Workforce Tracking Program – Precursor to what China does…
The state of California has begun a new
program that will track information on children born in the state from the
moment of birth until they begin their professional careers, at least. Called
Cradle to Career Data System, the program will compile information from every
state agency and so-called “partner entities” (staterelated agencies) that the
child comes in contact with during the entirety of his childhood. Partner
entities include schools, universities and agencies that provide care, aid and
services to children. According to the Pasadena Star, the information will be
used to “provide appropriate interventions and supports to address disparities
in opportunities and improve outcomes for all students.”
Governments must destroy the identity of
the individual and subvert him to the mass conscience and control by the state.
Carefully chosen words by the establishment are the basis of mass mind control
leading to acceptance of force. Until the people accept collectivism under some
pretext, they are not docile and subdued.
Following
are some examples of doublethink that are common today:
• Anyone under 21 is mentally and emotionally incapable of purchasing or
owning a weapon. • High school students should direct our policies on gun
control. • President Donald Trump is a dictator and a tyrant. • Trump and
Congress need to buck the NRA and take away our guns. • Police are
over-militarized and violent and are disproportionally targeting minorities. •
Only police should have guns. • “Children” should stay on their parents’ health
insurance until age 26. • Pre-teen and teenaged children are capable of
choosing their own “gender” and deciding to have an abortion without parental
consent. • Russia is our enemy. • Russia is backing the NRA and wants more
Americans to be armed

Jeffrey Gundlach, chief investment officer of DoubleLine Capital,
said this month he thinks there’s a 75% chance of a U.S recession before the
November 2020 presidential election, while the World Bank cut its 2019 global
forecast to the slowest since the financial crisis a decade ago. More than two
thirds of European family offices surveyed by UBS, meanwhile, think Brexit will
hurt the U.K. over the long-term.

assets that are a store of value will persevere, which is why gold and silver
are the most important hedge. You will not hear this on the “news.” Gold is
always beaten into the ground by the controlled media. If anybody can believe
it, modern Americans had far rather have paper money and credit cards than real
physical wealth…
Every day, new people are "waking up" and
realizing just how fragile our civilization is. Perhaps you are one of them.
There's no need to panic. Yes, a disaster could occur at any moment, but in all
likelihood, there is still time to prepare.
If you try to do it all at once, you're
liable to get overwhelmed and give up. Instead, spend a little time working on
your survival plans every day. The time will add up fast. Here are 30 survival
tips to get you started.
1. Get out of debt - A financial crisis
is one of the most likely disasters we face in the coming years. If the economy
enters a deflationary downward spiral like it did during the Great Depression,
having a lot of debt will put you in a terrible position. We may also have
hyperinflation, and some preppers are taking on massive debt with the
assumption that their debt will be wiped out, but please don't do this. There's
no way of knowing for sure what will happen, and it's not worth the risk...
