California just gave police a way to ticket Waymo and other robotaxis

Governments are supposed to protect the populace and provide a stable environment where business and the economy can thrive. This measure does neither.


Is that why millions of Californians are presently fleeing their hell-hole of a state to other parts of the country? Of the four US states losing population, California is seeing by far the largest population declines -- declines which would be even more massive, were it not for the influx of millions of illegal immigrants.


That explains why California has the highest tax rates of any US state, and still generates enormous deficits, by squandering it on wasteful projects like their failed high-speed rail line: originally quoted as costing $15B, but will now exceed $230B ... with more than the original $15B already spent without even one single mile of rail line laid.

We are the best place for immigrants, and still would be if it wasn't for the Trump administration going after ordinary people just doing ordinary things instead of criminals, as they originally promised. I haven't seen any ICE operations yet but I have my eyes peeled in case they show up! As for the rail project, there isn't a project like it in the world that didn't go over estimates. When it is completed, people will have an alternative to the coastal route which is currently under threat from rising oceans and crumbling coasts. So, I don't really care if you don't like it, my guess is you don't even live here so it's moot to you what we do!

What nonsense is this? Every single illegal alien is a criminal. Period. That's what the word "illegal" means: they broke federal immigration law. Furthermore, illegal aliens consume social services (welfare, food stamps, etc) and free healthcare/educational/police services at several times the rate that legal immigrants do.

Harass an ICE agent and you're breaking federal law and likely to wind up in federal prison yourself.

That's your excuse? Normal projects do not have cost overruns of twenty times the original estimate. Nor do they spend $15B without having one single inch of actual construction done.

When it is completed, people will have an alternative to the coastal route which is currently under threat from rising oceans and crumbling coasts.

You can't be serious with this. The ocean is rising far **slower** than it was 10,000 years ago, and California is currently spending hundreds of billions of dollar building NEW properties right there on that "costal route".

Well, I can't stop you from being delusional. All I can say is, I'm right and you're wrong. End of story.

That response is the intellectual equivalent of "neener neener". The facts are as they are, and you haven't even attempted to dispute them.
