Trump disparaged the hell hole of socialism in the SOTU. So how is CA doing compared to the other states since the Great Republican Recession? We are not without problems but without the CA economic engine the US would be in a lot of trouble.
Whites and hispanics overlap, because "Hispanic" is not a race. Its a demographic though, that's why it shows up. There are also black hispanics, primarily Dominicans,
So if I'm white I count as Hispanic too? Or is it vice-versa.
Do those people get to vote twice or anything?
I think by rule from now on all charts should equal 100% or try again. That's crazy.
>>>>So if I'm white I count as Hispanic too? Or is it vice-versa.
Hispanics are lumped in as "white" because most of them can trace their ancestry to a mix of Spanish and Mesoamerican despite the fact that many other Hispanics, especially from Southern Mexico and Guatemala, are straight up Indian and have little or no Spanish blood. But because Hispanics are distinct from traditional "white people" based on culture and language, they are considered a separate demographic.
So reading the demographics above, California can be broken down as:
46.9% Hispanic
30% "White People" (non-hispanic)
12.6% Asian
8.3% Black
That comes out to 97.3% I assume the rest are American Indians and Pacific Islanders.
At the point of contact, there were more Native people in what was to become California than the whole rest of the country combined. Think about that fact for a sec (have you heard it before?)...
This place has always been as close to paradise as you're gonna get on this continent.
I'm heading to the beach, to forget politics for awhile.
San Francisco is the nation’s leader in property crime. Burglary, larceny, shoplifting, and vandalism are included under this ugly umbrella. The rate of car break-ins is particularly striking: in 2017 over 30,000 reports were filed, and the current average is 51 per day. Other low-level offenses, including drug dealing, street harassment, encampments, indecent exposure, public intoxication, simple assault, and disorderly conduct are also rampant.
I was born in Clovis, a little farming community sitting next to Fresno. Moved at 6yrs old to"the big city". Could not leave fast enough when I was 20. Side note. GD played there in sept 1974. I moved away in June of that yr. Maybe I should have stayed just a little longer.
But basically, fresburg would fit in better in the middle of Mississippi, Alabama or even Oklahoma. For the most part, a horrible rightwing piece of shit town with the dumbest motherfuckers in the state. thom would love it there.
San Francisco car break-ins are so common that the city's district attorney is proposing reimbursing residents whose windows are smashed
San Francisco's district attorney is proposing creating an auto-burglary-assistance fund that would reimburse residents for the cost required to repair shattered windows from break-ins.
The DA, Chesa Boudin, is proposing using $1.5 million from the mayor's office to fill the fund. If it passes, it could be the country's first fund of this kind.
"Auto burglaries are the No. 1 way people in San Francisco are directly impacted by crime," Boudin said in the San Francisco Chronicle. "While we know there's more work to do, this is something we can do today to step up and support victims."
The city has been experiencing an epidemic of car break-ins in recent years. In 2019, 25,677 people reported car break-ins, according to data from the San Francisco Police Department. The police department only makes arrests in about 1% of cases.
So Chesa admits that he's not going to do (or isn't interested in doing) anything to stop the problem. Apparently enforcing the law is beyond the capabilities of the SF DA.
It's a bit of a guilty pleasure observing some of you slowly figure out you were unwitting accomplices to the biggest scam in political history...please continue with your mythology about Russia, it's adorable.

Dave I'm trying to decipher your race chart, which I'm assuming breaks down Fresno.
For 2010 it looks like Whites make 50.6%, Latinos 46.9, Non-Hispanic 30, Black 8.3 and Asian 12.6.
That equals, ummmmm, errrrrrrr, uhhhhhh......149.4%
