I had to pop in for this doozie.  Starting in 2030 natural gas utilities will be banned. Not in just new construction but banned altogether and switched to electric. So if my gas heater needs to me replaced I’m *****. Now here’s the punchline to this joke.  50% of California’s electricity is produced by, you guessed it……..natural gas. 
 

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program titled “I’m glad I’m in the last 1/3 of my life with no children.”

Gavin Newsom’s $98 Billion Surplus Went Bye-Bye

BY MATT MARGOLIS

 

Back in May, California Gov. Gavin Newsom gleefully boasted that the state of California had a nearly $98 billion surplus after operating in the black for multiple years. But, now that Newsom’s been safely reelected, new projections show that the state of California will have a $25 billion deficit in the 2023-2024 fiscal year.

 

“That shortfall, according to a new report from the state’s independent Legislative Analyst’s Office, could be followed by continued annual budgetary gaps between $17 billion and $8 billion for the subsequent three years,” reports the Sacramento Bee. “If the forecast holds true through June, when the state’s next budget must be passed, Newsom and legislators may have to make some tough calls. Those include how far to dip into the state’s reserves, where to make potential spending cuts and what projects and programs to slow down. Luckily, the state has stashed away billions of dollars in reserves in recent years to help cope with it.”

 

“The downturn is due to state revenues growing slower than spending — a possible precursor to a recession, the report indicated. The revenue estimates, if accurate, would represent the weakest economic performance California has experienced since the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009.”

 

 

Well, at least the report came out after Newsom was elected, right?

On reparations.  If this goes through on the national level how do we determine who gets what?  This would be impossible to administer so why even try?

This type of stuff is just to buy votes. It won't happen just like Biden's student loan forgiveness won't happen either.

I'm 100 percent  Polsh . Moms dad came over about 1910.  Other ancestors the generation before. Both sides came from around Posnan.  I demand  reparations from Germany,Auatr\ia/ Hungary, and Russia. I deserve them a lot more.

I quite often give my two cents on here….will that suffice? 😉

Given CPSC Commissioner Trumka’s foreshadowing of what’s coming — a nationwide attempt to ban gas stoves (and no, I don’t believe that was just one guy speaking out of class; gas to the home has been a favorite environmentalist target for a few years now) — I may just replace my old gas

range sooner rather than later. I hate, hate, hate electric. 
Question, Chef: I’ve never used induction. What do you think about it?

I'm not Chef, but we've used induction for over ten years.

Wouldn't do anything else.

Same goes with tankless water heaters.

Agree with you on tankless water heaters. I still see hot water tanks in new construction … why?

Im really intrigued by induction.

If we at all wonder why Cali. has become what it is today we need look no further than Newsome, Pelosi, Waters, & Schiff ! 
 

 And in NY Nadler, Schumer, AOC, & now Hocul puts that state right in line with these wing nuts !

California’s COVID vaccine mandate for K-12 students is being withdrawn, having never taken effect. To all the parents who joined together and fought back: We won. To Gavin Newsom: You lost.

 

 

Newsom followed the political advice of “experts,” who were almost immediately proven wrong about what the vaccines can do.

 

They, and he, repeatedly assured the public that being vaccinated was a compassionate act to protect others. Even though it was abundantly clear almost immediately that vaccination did not protect against infection or transmission.

 

 

Mandates were an indefensible overreach, designed to appease political factions, not to promote public health.

California defaults on $18.5B federal loan, leaves California businesses holding the bag.

 

 

 

“Little did California businesses know that they were cosigners on the state’s nearly $20 billion loan from the federal government that was used to cover California’s unemployment fund shortfall during the COVID pandemic. This ugly truth became apparent when the state recently decided to stop making payments on this loan. When a state defaults on its federal unemployment insurance loan, federal law requires that the state’s businesses repay the loan.”
