Trains keep getting robbed in Los Angeles

I believe the railroad has its own law enforcement agency responsible for preventing this kind of thing.

Hard to have much sympathy for people ordering off of Amazon though. They are just as responsible for this nightmare we are making of our world as the people who are robbing those trains. More so, even.

Whether you prefer a shop in person or online, there are plenty of options that do not implicate you in the economic suicide of this country and its working class.

I order off Amazon....

California is a lawless wasteland.

For the poor and working class, yes. It's a luxury utopia for those with money and influence.

Tragically ironic considering the ideological leans of most in office. CA is turning rapidly turning itself into South Africa with the added insult of a smile while they hold a gun to your face.

As a sign of how crazy it's getting, even Sacramento is getting expensive, crowded.

My parents's house, when they bought it years ago, was 250k, now it's 600k in value.

Really, if the only cheap areas, where a middle class person can buy a house is FREAKING FRESNO AND BAKERSFIELD. And no one likes those cities. ( Sorry but it's true. ).

Sounds like a blue State alright.

As opposed to red states, which are just wastelands for everybody.

And I really should point out that at least states like California, Oregon, New York (all places I've lived) have baseline social safety nets and access to healthcare through expanded medicaid programs, unlike Red states. The difference between being able to access healthcare in Oregon through OHP (Oregon Health Plan) Vs. what I've experienced and the meager resources in Texas is mind-boggling. That any Conservative could actually believe red states are better to live in for the poor or working class and take that from what I said is totally off base.

That being said, Medicaid in California, might be free, but the quality isn't great. Only the most scrupolous doctors accept medicaid here, and they participate in over the top billing, harmful medical interventions, and the patients can't do anything about it, because they don't speak english, and so they get used.
