That's not all the unions do in regards to prop 23 and dialysis clinics.  My sister in law runs multiple clinics and they have to watch out for people who apply that are employed by the union as they're only there to stir the pot, to try to unionize the workforce and threaten walk outs which comes at the expense of the treatment the clinics provide.  In an extreme case one of the individuals tried to sabotage one of the patients dialysis treatments.  I don't believe that case was indicative of the union as a whole but I've heard enough stories to know there's a right way and a wrong way to go about things and I wouldn't consider a lot of what they do to be in the right.

Would you say you’re skeptical of them?

Yet you can shit on the sidewalk next to a restaurant and shoot heroin and meth in the middle of the street. This deserves @tdawg87Life Goes On gif

San Francisco is definitely the Corky of California.

The makeup of California was a lot different when Gray Davis was recalled. Gavin Newsom won the 2018 election by nearly 3 million votes.

It's about the governor's actions, not how many votes he received.

Do you think the libs in LA and SF have turned against Newsom? It's possible, but if I had to guess, his approval rating is probably still very high. So even if they got enough signatures, it's very, very unlikely that a plurality of Californians would vote to recall him.

I voted for Cox, by the way. I'm not a Newsom fan.

No. He could rape babies on video and brag about and still get re-elected with a (D) next to his name in this state

Calif. authorities escape to lavish Hawaii getaway amid new lockdowns

California lawmakers are reportedly descending on a week-long policy conference in Hawaii as the Golden State urges its citizens to refrain from travel and indoor gatherings.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Independent Voter Project (IVP), which is hosting the conference, declined to name the fewer than 20 lawmakers, who collectively came from California, Texas, and Washington.

The conference is taking place at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui, where rooms reportedly run $600 and over per night, with policy discussions and "schmoozing" with corporate sponsors, the Chronicle said Monday. Its website says the event is four days long and the purpose "is to provide a setting, away from the Capitol, for elected officials and a diverse group of industry experts to consider policy matters in a nonpartisan manner."

News of the event came just days after the California Department of Public Health issued a travel advisory, urging residents to stay home and not to leave their "region."

Really, we need to jail them all and run a recall of every one of them.

They should really consider modeling better behavior.

We stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani last year for about $300 a night through a priceline deal.  I have no doubts our elected officials have no issues paying top dollar on the taxpayer dime but I guess on the bright side they didn't opt for the Andaz which is even pricier. 

[Blarg]

They are there to avoid oversight on bribes.

Pandemic.  Check.

budget shortfall.  Check.

It's a nice resort. When I stayed there my room was on the first floor so I was able to walk out of my patio onto the lawn and the pool area. It worked out really well for grabbing drinks. 

Love the beach there too.
