I don't see how you can argue anything other than negligence if someone hits someone from behind, especially if it's hard enough to push them into oncoming traffic. The only excuse is mechanical failure. Otherwise it's one of only a few options. Either you're going to fast to stop, or you're following too closely to stop, or you're not paying attention.
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday unveiled a $164.5 billion budget for the next fiscal year, detailing how he plans to spend a $15 billion surplus that the state has accumulated despite the pandemic-induced recession that’s left thousands of businesses shuttered and 1.5 million people still out of work. Besides his already announced plans to allocate grants for small businesses, send $600 checks to low-income Californians, and help schools re-open more quickly, Newsom said the budget will spend a record amount for public education, dedicate $4.5 billion to help the state’s economy recover and pay down almost $10 billion in long-term liabilities. He said various savings accounts will total $22 billion, a record high. Cuts in state worker compensation may not be necessary, acccording to the budget. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-how-to-spend-surprise-windfall-in-a-pandemic I know, you've been conditioned by Republican talking points to believe that California is a hellscape that's always in debt but, unfortunately for Republicans, that's not actually true. They tell you that because they want California to fail, not because it actually is failing.
As of 2019 California had an unfunded pension liability of $85.6 billion. How anyone can claim that California operates with a surplus is beyond my comprehension.
I'm sure the incredible governing is why California has a record low growth rate and has lost more people in recent years than some states have as an entire population.
Right, record low growth rate except for all the states below them. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/fastest-growing-states California is a very expensive state to live in, that much is certainly true. Despite that, they have a positive growth rate and they rise up the list, well into the top half, when you go by "Since 2010" instead of simply 2021 growth rate.
More interesting: many of those "red states" are turning blue, like Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, even Texas. It's a pretty well-understood dynamic--most of the states like California, New York, Massachusetts, etc, have sky high housing and rent costs because demand drove them up. Demand means people wanted to be there. It's caused people to start looking for more affordable areas out of necessity.
Because a lot of the people who are moving there are voting for the same policies that ruined the states they are fleeing from lol. Just like you saw the Florida sheriff the other day warning incoming residents about. Turns out people don't like paying exorbitant taxes while they watch their cities turn into a homeless shelter.
lol indeed. "I hate it here so I'm fleeing to another state that I want to be just like this place that I hate." Sounds totally realistic and not just an illogical way to justify this to yourself.
https://ktla.com/news/california/ca...-effort-to-remove-gov-gavin-newsom-explained/ HOW DOES THE ELECTION WORK? Voters would be asked two questions: First, should Newsom be removed, yes or no? The second question would be a list of replacement candidates from which to choose. Provided a majority votes yes on the recall, the candidate who gets the most votes becomes governor. With dozens of candidates expected, it’s very likely a winner will get less than 50% of the votes.
Well, you have...the Clippers, Warriors and, uh, Kings as alternate options for your kids. Or, you could invest in NBA League Pass so the Blazers are always on. What are your children's futures worth to you?
I'm not addressing that. I'm just saying there are exceptions to the rule and that I was one of those exceptions.
It happened in Washington but the guy that ran into me was at fault for the damage to all three cars.
True but I would file that under the same category as mechanical failure. A circumstance beyond your control. I guess you could also add a medical emergency that caused you to lose control of the car.
You are gonna get jumped if you call it Cali when you move back. It's like an Oregonian calling it "Are-E-Gone"
