It’s not about what you make, it’s about how much you spend, and that’s why California is nearly bankrupt. Sacramento spends like a drunken sailor on shore leave, with the state being 1.3 TRILLION in debt. Surprised they didn’t teach you basic mathematics in school.

You can use that same chart, and see the progress under the last 2 presidents and now the current one. Hmmm, which years was flatter ?
GDP is just one indicator of the strength of an economy. That alone is not everything that should concern us though, even though it is a biggie that effects many other areas.
Nobody will argue Cali has a great economy in it's own right, just like we do as a country. However one has to ask....in both cases, where's the coin ? Is debt being paid down ? If not, why not ? Or are they both just looking for more ways to spend their new wealth ?
I think we all know that answer. So when we go bust again, the pain will be that much greater.

In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.
Don’t let your kid take that to school... they will get suspended real quick, and child protective services will be knocking on your door. Here in California, straws need to be securely locked in a weapon safe, so you can bet the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and drinking straws will be kicking the door down as well.

CA didn't actually ban plastic straws. They just won't give you one unless you want one. Which is fine. Sometimes I just don't want or need a straw in my water or stronger beverage.
^^Correct, but Fox News stated ban, so those that cant or wont read past the headline are going with ban.

it's probably ticks.
dang ticks.
Could be... the ticks are sucking the brains out of some.
Straws are for sucking.
Coincidence?
I think not!
Now we can wait for the fake news society try to discredit the US Dept of Labor Statistica...wait for it....
