So, Current Status As I See It.
We are an extremely divided nation, in multiple ways, left and right, people and government, capitalism and socialism, regular people and elite.
Our economic status is extremely alarming. We are driving ourselves further and further into debt, while inflation on every day items grows higher and higher. Dollars are losing value, as if they ever had any since we abandoned gold standard. Fiat gonna be fiat.
Our political environment is also extremely alarming, stripping freedoms, mandated orders, police and military backing to an extent, or so it seems. Government officials have clearly shown they care about no one but themselves, except for very few. Election was rigged, almost everybody I know, knows it. I do live in a primarily red area, so there is a bias there, but even still I am still going to say more people believe it than don't. Nothing seems to be working, supreme court has shown it doesn't care... supposedly... our legislative branch is as corrupt as can be. And THE PEOPLE, who are supposed to be #1 in this country, have become dead last, so it seems...
The, "Plandemic" is a hoax. I don't care what anyone says, it is literally a joke. Literally A Joke. Not even a very funny one, because it is driven by fear. And everyone in our local, state, and national government keeps the charade going, further perpetuating the nonsense all while stripping even more rights away from us in the process. Masks don't work, they never did, and there is still no evidence they do. But yet people are getting arrested now over it. The vaccine is killing people left and right, worldwide. Doctors speaking out about it are being silenced at every opportunity.
Places of work are becoming a strange place to be, all the while, the younger generations coming into the workforce are getting lazier and lazier, I have been witnessing this with my own eyes and hearing about it from my family and friends at thier places of work, common phrase being, "They Just Don't Want To Work"... and it is true, and honestly, can you blame them? What are they working toward? Do goals even exist anymore? Maybe for some, but the indoctrination camps known as schools, have been having to teach a curriculum that is socialist to the core, encouraging our children NOT TO STRIVE FOR SUCCESS, but yet just, PATRICIPATION Points... Everyone gets a trophy... How does that all work out at work?? Where is that going???
Our media is lying to us, very alarming to me all of the time, reminds me of straight communist rule, and makes me feel like a man in a box that is being called, "The Authorized World We Want You To Believe Is Real"... Pretty Much Exactly Like The Truman Show. I see people get upset about it, but feel powerless. I see people believe it, and that is scary. They have lost the narritive as a whole in my opinion, but yet they continue to operate... HOW!?!?! I have no idea. Lies though, All Lies. That's all I ever see from it. And I know it. Because they all refuse to recognize what is known to be true. We were hosed in this last election. Proving to America, and The World, we have no real voice. Mountains of evidence... dismissed as, "moot"... Seriously....? Lies Everywhere.
And The Children. I'm not even going to go that far in an explanation on what they are doing to our children. Because this is where the line is for me personally. I have a very difficult time restraining myself about this topic because it makes me so incredibly angry. All that is going on involving the children. And to think, Hunter's Daddy is sitting in a Chair HE Stole, supposedly... while his son, goes and fiddles and diddles... So Infuriating. For reals. I cannot speak more on this exact topic.
And here's what I want to know? Where does this all go? I could list many more things too, but for times sake, I think I painted a decent picture for my purpose on this question. Where does this all go?? Where??? What gets us out of this mess?? Does the mess continue to be made, until it just doesn't anymore?? Does somebody fix it?? Can it even be fixed?? Seriously?? This is all huge stuff to me?? Like incredibly huge!?! We even found out our damn country is not even a country!!! It's A Corporation Not Even Owned By Us!!! What the hell is going on??? I'm at an odds here. What happens next? Just a continuing on of watching everything we have ever thought to be morally right and worked our entire lives for, go straight into the ground and be obliterated?? Does our military do the job?? There isn't even a real precedent set for them to even be called into action against domestic enemies, that's some severely tricky business. I have looked into it, even Lincoln supposedly was in the wrong when he did it in the case, Milligan v the united states, over an unlawful military tribunal. Does Syndey Powell prove the election was stolen?? And would that even fix anything?? In my opinion, she as well as many others have already proven it. Numerous times!! Seriously, what fixes this crapshow?? Dare I say, WE FIX IT??? because if I do that, then I become wanted by the government!!! And given a DT title. It's just all so weird anymore to me. And there only seems to grow more questions than answers. Like the TV show LOST. Wondering and Wandering... Seeing things that should not be, taking place without any repercussions... supposedly.
Where does all this go, is my question. Has been for a while. Probably on some of your minds too.. Thing is, when I think about the trajectory or our current and ever-growing situation... the landing spot of this baseball seems to be heading straight toward mulching machine... I hope I am so wrong. I really do. But for reals... Where does all this go?
How does this account for the economic output of blue states vs red? Texas and Florida are successful Red states, but other than that, not much to compete with CA, NY, NJ, etc. I'm looking purely at tables of economic output of all the states. I did a study a while back, and Blue states are way better off financially - net contributors to Fed, while Red states were net recipients of Fed funds. CA alone - if counted as a separate country - is now the 5th largest economy in the world, exceeding UK. So if things go haywire, it's not clear where that leaves Red states.
Wealth in CA and NY is largely from the top 1% elites but anyone with half a brain would not give two fucks about these elites. These elites only have money because the 99% give them money. If the 99% stopped spending money on things that benefits elites then they would not be elites for long.
Stop buying fucking movies, stop watching tv shows, not turning on garbage like fox news or any news network because just having the channel on earns them money. Stop buying from Walmart, sure Walmart is cheap but fuck Walmart. I used to shop at Walmart a lot but it's been many months since I've been inside a Walmart store.
CA must not have much of an economy always being in debt but they're propped up by all the dumb fucking idiots that keep spending money on movies and tv and music. This entertainment people enjoy at home hasn't been around that long really, 100 years or more but not a lot more?
I have not watched the news locally or nationally in easily 2 years or more. I have not bought a movie in about 15 years. I have not bought any music in over 15 years. I do watch some movies still on Amazon prime but mostly zombie movies n such. Stop spending money on the people and places that hate us and then see how elite and powerful they are in a few years.
Sadly states like CA and NY don't depend on the domestic US market anymore. CA especially trades with the whole world
I know when it comes to box office movie sales that movies make more money from the other countries vs the us but people of other countries will join in with not supporting hollywood which is a very large portion of CA's money.
People around the world will stop spending money on things from hollywood when they find out what a lot of hollywood is doing. People all over the world are waking up just like people in America are. It's only a matter of time until hollywood's pedophiles are gone.
Once it's all cleaned up and people making the movies are not criminals then it might not be so bad.
Who cares about economic output? The blue cities have no food, no water, little power. Embargoed they'd only last a few months. The 99% won't be worrying about the elites downturn in economic profits. Red States have it all Remember. Blue state's base is in the cities And cities just consume and only produce finished goods using supplies from the blue states. This won't be an economic contest. It's about survival.
I used to think CA's economy was big because of agriculture, but it isn't. The money is in banking, insurance, tech (obviously), and other areas. It is surprisingly diverse.
CA is VERY vulnerable to water supply; water controlled by Colorado and Arizona.
If we want to REALLY hit our enemies, we should all stop buying Chinese made iPhones, laptops, etc!
The 'blue states' will be the first to collapse economically because their finance/software/healthcare/education industries are where most of their GDP comes from.
The 'red states' are all about manufacturing, agriculture and natural resource extraction.
Which states do you think will be more powerful in a total economic collapse or world war?
I believe CA produces more of the US agriculture than any other state. You are right about finance/software/healthcare, but those are very critical elements of an integrated economy so it will be interesting to see what happens to them.
All easily moved out
Though as long as the progressives are controlling the three branches of government, the blue states and cities will be continuously bailed out by ever more oppressive taxes on the red states.
California is home to silicon valley, and only has high numbers because of the massive wealth hoard they hold, that literally produces nothing except more control over us. I view your comment as opposition to everything this site stands for.
The central valley in California produces a lot of food. You may want to go read up on it.
Central and northern CA are red. They will need to be split off from the cancer that is SoCAL
Silicon Valley too
So does Kansas.
Uhh silicon valley produces plenty of things even if they're things you don't consume. Have you ever seen people talk about how most ad dollars get gobbled up by FB Twat and Google? Even if you understand they didn't get their monopoly organically it doesn't stop them from having that hold presently. That doesn't even get into pedo wood and their massive entertainment industry. These may not be 'needs' but let's not pretend nothing of value comes out of those states. Try not to let doomer energy cloud your judgement and stay grounded. We all wonder where the hell this is headed and I think that's why so much emphasis was put on our relationship with the lord. That guy you called out and others downvoted are exactly what this site needs. People looking at facts and stating truths even if they're uncomfortable ugly disturbing truths we don't want to hear. Prove him wrong. Show us why he's opposition to everything this site stands for.
Because this person is literally trying to convince me that being liberal is better for the economy than being a conservative. That was the basis of his red state and blue state analysis. And I believe that to be incredibly false. So I dismissed him. And will now dismiss your comment too for not being able to read apparently. Because it is an extremely liberal mentality that has gotten us to where we are now. And I very much so do not like that. Say what you will. It matters not to me.
But he wasn't trying to convince you that being a liberal is 'better' at all; he was simply pointing out a fact that the CA economy is diverse and large. this wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_California - doesn't seem that controversial (yes, it's 'MSM', but pretty straight-forward). Manufacturing is a big component of the economy (according to a table in the article). Remember there is a big aerospace element (see this as a simple example - https://www.lockheedmartinjobs.com/aero-palmdale-california ). Several military bases (San Diego and others). NASA are big there (Pasadena, Mountain View, etc - NASA/Ames research center, Jet Propulsion Labs). Intel, AMD, Marvell (chip makers), Qualcomm - they design and manufacture critical items such as computer chips (actual fabrication happens overseas but the design / development and revenue lives in CA), Seagate, Western Digital; Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Salesforce, etc.
Entertainment and Agriculture aren't even in the top 5 categories, yet they are monstrous compared to most other states. Agriculture can't simply be relocated - there is massive infrastructure involved in making it work.
Also, keep in mind; there were MORE (counted) votes for DJT in CA than any other state - 6M votes for Trump in CA, 5.9M votes for Trump in TX.
The bad parts of CA are basically restricted to LA and SF. The vast majority of the place is fairly 'normal'.
