To get a decent idea of the typical California, here is a thread dedicated to one.

Bill Maher keeps on insisting that the nation follows California, till Florida upstaged them, leading to a lot of butthurt by Californian moonbats and libtards and libcucks against DeSantis and Florida Man and Florida Woman. California also lost Joe Rogan, who decided to move to the Californian colony of Austin in Texas while Benny Boy from the Daily Wire ran to Tennessee.

Since there is so much news dedicated to California like the Warriors winning the NBA finals and the LA Rams winning the Super bowl, it leads to super smugness summed up in the meme below while the rest of the state resembles a third world shithole more than some 1st world West European nation that the liberals of California are obsessed with.

Might as well make a mega thread about the state, since everyone knows the drill over California doing whatever California does. And then tries to export it across the nation and shuns those that don't accept its "gift" of pozz.

Even recall candidate Larry Elder doesn't sugarcoat how much retarded the state still is.


Here are some threads that deal with California's dedication to wanting to dominate the other 49 states with their cancer, running away from their problems, destroying the 2A, spreading shitlib faggotry and actual faggotry.





And many more stories coming out of the Golden State for this work in progress.

The Golden State founded by racist white devils looking for gold, is in the current era filled with folks that believe the darkies deserve reparations for being slaves in California, never mind that California joined the Union as a free state during the Civil War. It is the home of Big Tech because of silicon valley but also started the sanctuary state meme for illegals despite trying to stop giving gibs to illegals in the 1990s but some kike judge overturned the will of the Californian. The same situation would repeat for faggots being able to marry, as it was banned by a proposition and the state government of California with butthurt faggots in San Francisco sued to get it overturned by the State Supreme Court of California. Apparently niggers don't like faggots but faggots also still simp for niggers.

Recently many slant eyes, whose younger folks are very pozzed, are being attacked by niggers and the response is to blame "white supremacy" since their own politicians are race traitors who obey the white liberal once they get elected, as the recent proposition to destroy the Californian Civil Rights Act showed but failed.

Joggers being raycist against Asians megathread

Californians through ballot propositions hate tax increases but will always vote in Democrats who increase it anyways while screwing up everything else as well. The state is a giant liberal bubble that can sadly skew the reality of many people. Its like being an alternative version of the United States where Fox News never existed.

California up until the 1990s was seen as the best state to emulate and live in, and now is just coasting off that reputation while many of its residents slowly realize that the California they knew is gone. California is now currently home to many American hating, freedom hating, gun hating, nigger loving and faggotry obsessed subhumans thanks to cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles and Berkeley and Sacramento.

California used to be a strong Republican state till Ronnie Raygun decided to give amnesty to many illegal wetbacks, as a result California has never gone back. But has gotten overall more blue, which leads to strong butthurt from leftoids whenever a Republican wins the electoral college but not the popular vote in federal elections.

There has been exodus from the Golden State which led to California losing 1 seat so far in the electoral college, but time will tell if it lowers those popular votes for the Democrats in general elections as well. But the conservative exodus might have strengthened other red states as well to some extent.

California has given America the following politicians, that always make the headlines and some are also shot callers within the party, since the California representation is the largest within the Democratic Party. The only thing more liberal than California is Twitter, however Californian politicians believe their constituency is Twitter and we are seeing the disaster by the Californian Democrats at the federal level because of this.

Lets go through a brief summary of many top politicians from California.

Like the current installed vice president of the United States hired because Biden wanted a black woman and just a black woman to be his running mate.

There is this pajeet progtard grifter known as Ro Khanna, who pretends to be for the "working man" when he isn't. How could he be since he was elected in one of the most richest zip codes in America where Silicon Valley is based.

Ro_Khanna,_official_portrait,_115th_Congress.jpg

There is this gun hating chink known as Ted Lieu, who loves to open his big mouth every now and then. And proof of why repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act was a mistake.

Looks to be an upstanding citizen who decided 120 mph was a perfectly good speed to do everywhere, nevermind on busy urban roads. Guessing this was a person of a diverse race high off drugs or drunk that had been arrested before but released on bail or probation or a light sentence.

One Nicole Linton was the driver. Black woman, nurse. Further details not yet available.
From what I gathered, she looked relatively normal. This whole thing started because she had a fight with her boyfriend and got drunk.
 
Apparently UCLA will be tracking wrongthinkers who refused CRT ideology.

And it was bad enough that UC Davis tracks gun and ammo purchases for Californian gun owners.
 
Apparently UCLA will be tracking wrongthinkers who refused CRT ideology.
Should we troll the UCLA by saying then CRT is a disguised form of white supremacy because Karl Marx was a racist bigot who disliked blacks? :story:

Btw, when they post billboards of this kind, they refuse to admit their ship is sinking.


California’s failed policies have led residents to flock to states like Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Now, California is begging them to stay by using disturbing rhetoric. Billboards are appearing across Los Angeles and San Francisco warning against moving to Texas. The reason? The horrific Uvalde School massacre that occurred at Robb Elementary in May.

“The Texas miracle died in Uvalde,” the billboards states. It is in bad taste to use a school shooting to promote an agenda. The gunman was apprehended by a Texas resident with a gun. The police failed those children. None of this has anything to do with California’s policies; crime is not as prominent in Texas.

Between 2020 and 2021, over 25,000 fled California to Texas, according to the US Census data. Overall, over 360,000 people left California in 2021. Most cite that California has become completely unaffordable, with the median home price at about $797,470. Companies have fled California since the beginning of the pandemic to tax-friendly states. They lost huge job creators and revenue makers such as Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, SpaceX, and Tesla, to name a few. Another less discussed reason is the intense woke rhetoric spewed by Newsom and others. Theft has basically become legal. Despite the beautiful scenery and weather, people simply do not want to live in the Golden State for a plethora of reasons.
Gavin Newsom is California's counterpart of Coleman A. Young.
 
Newsom trying to use taxpayer money from his failing state to sacrifice children to Moloch to try to secure presidency. Instead of, I dunno, doing something about the packs of meth-addicts stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

California is preparing to spend big to bring women from states with abortion bans to its clinics.

The liberal state has earmarked up to $20 million for the plan. It comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom has pledged to make California a "sanctuary state" for women seeking abortions who cannot get one in the wake of the Roe v. Wade reversal.

The cash plan was revealed as part of an amendment to California's budget on Friday. It will be voted on by lawmakers next week. However, despite the large sum of money being set aside, Newsom said more needs to be done by the public.

“As the Governor has stated, California is doing its part, but we cannot do it all — private donations and philanthropy will be critical to these efforts,” Newsom spokesperson Alex Stack said. “We all need to step up to support women who are being denied reproductive freedoms by their state governments and are forced to come to California for abortion care.”

It comes after Democratic governors of California, Oregon, and Washington proclaimed the West Coast of the United States a "safe haven" for abortion following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade earlier this year.

Newsom, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced the launch of a "Multi-State Commitment to Reproductive Freedom" as red states across the country have trigger laws on the books set to outright ban abortion in their states following the court's move to overturn the landmark 1973 case.

“The Supreme Court has made it clear — they want to strip women of their liberty and let Republican states replace it with mandated birth because the right to choose an abortion is not ‘deeply rooted in history,'" Newsom said in a statement. "California has banded together with Oregon and Washington to stand up for women, and to protect access to reproductive health care."
 
Their bill failed to pass by one vote about 6 minutes before midnight, though at least a lot of people got to watch the livestream of how their state legislature works.

 
Well Moms Demand Action is angry.

Link to Butthurt (Archive to give them no clicks)

The California chapters of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, both part of Everytown for Gun Safety’s grassroots network, released the following statement today urging California Governor Gavin Newsom to call state lawmakers back for a special legislative session to pass SB 918, an important piece of gun safety legislation to strengthen the state’s concealed carry permitting system after the bill fell short by one vote in the Assembly late Wednesday night. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen endangered a portion of California’s concealed carry permitting process that has helped to keep California safe for decades. SB 918 would strengthen California’s concealed carry permit system in light of the Supreme Court’s decision to ensure the law can continue to protect Californians from gun violence.

“A dangerous Supreme Court decision recently put California families and communities at risk, yet last night too many of our representatives disregarded that danger and neglected to take action,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action and California resident. “Lawmakers must act in the wake of this reckless court decision, like in New York, where a similar bill has already gone into effect after state lawmakers acted with urgency. Thankfully, Governor Newsom is a strong ally in the fight for gun safety, and now he will need to act because our lawmakers didn’t have the courage to: he must call a special session and get this crucial legislation across the finish line.”

SB 918 would make several improvements to California’s concealed carry license system to help keep Californians safe. Some of those measures include:

Ensuring that licenses are not granted to people who are found to be a danger to themselves or others following a thorough background check
Prohibiting guns from sensitive places such as playgrounds, polling places, and hospitals
Improving training requirements for concealed carry
Raising the age to carry a handgun in public from 18 to 21
California continues to be a national leader in gun violence prevention policy. During the 2022 legislative session, state lawmakers passed a number of lifesaving gun safety bills. To keep California safe, Governor Newsom should call state lawmakers back for a special session to finish the job and pass SB 918. More information about gun violence in California is available here.

And some news about Newsom.

Gavin Newsom campaign donors received billions in CA state contracts, investigation finds (Archive)

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's campaign donors landed billions of dollars in state contracts last year, an investigation has found.

The lucrative contracts went to nearly 1,000 entities that showered Newsom's campaign with almost $11 million since 2010.

The generous campaign donors, in turn, hauled in more than $6 billion in contracts from the state of California in 2021, according to an audit by government transparency group OpenTheBooks.

"The Golden State is the Wild West when it comes to the lack of pay-to-play prohibitions," OpenTheBooks founder Adam Andrzejewski told Fox News Digital. "Even in Illinois, state contractors of more than $50,000 are barred from giving in the governor's race. Since that law was instituted, no Illinois governors have been indicted.

"Major California corporations entrenched with public-private marketplace monopolies are recycling a portion of their profits back into political donations to Newsom," Andrzejewski said. "Although legal at arm's length, the pattern is troubling, and many people across the spectrum will find it highly unethical."

According to the investigation, the 979 state vendors that contributed to Newsom's campaigns and received the contracts include health care, utility and telecom companies. Law firms and big banks also were identified by the group.

The top 30 vendors accounted for over $5 billion in contracts, the audit shows. Those vendors, meanwhile, had pushed more than $1.5 million into Newsom's campaign coffers from their companies, affiliated PACs, key executives, employees, partners and/or affiliates.

Anthem Blue Cross was one of the biggest winners. Last year, the company received $844 million in contracts after its employees and affiliated entities provided $70,000 to Newsom's campaigns.

Centene Corporation and its affiliate Health Net raked in $206 million in contracts after its employees and groups donated nearly $243,000 to the governor.

Pacific Gas & Electric, whose workers and affiliates provided $123,000 to Newsom's campaign, received $323 million in contracts in 2021, while UnitedHealth Group employees and entities gave $120,000 to Newsom's campaigns and received $544 million in contracts last year.

"The state makes all contracting decisions based on the best interests of the state and its residents," a spokesperson for Newsom's office told Fox News Digital.

The watchdog group had to file hundreds of records requests to conduct its analysis.

"In the home of Silicon Valley, a $1.1 billion state government investment into an accounting and transparency platform still couldn't get their state checkbook posted online," Andrzejewski said. "Our team of auditors accomplished the task with 442 sunshine requests over the last four months."

OpenTheBooks said its findings show the Golden State needs a "statewide, pay-to-play prohibition."

"Major corporations with quasi-state monopolies in their given industries are recycling millions of their profit dollars back into the politicians," the watchdog said. "This practice is legal in California today, but that doesn't mean the public will find it ethical."

Trust linked to Gavin Newsom's in-laws made contribution to DeSantis PAC (Archive)

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been a vocal critic of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in recent weeks, but Newsom's in-laws seem to approve of the popular Republican.

According to contribution records on the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC website, the Siebel Family Revocable Trust made a $5,000 contribution on April 6, 2022.

That trust is run by Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, the parents of Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel, records obtained by Fox News Digital show.

Neither the Siebels nor Gov. Newsom's office immediately responded to Fox News' requests for comment. The DeSantis campaign declined to comment.

Newsom's father-in-law Kenneth Siebel has a long history of making donations to GOP candidates, according to Federal Election Commission filings. His most recent donations include contributions to the campaigns of Republicans Sens. Ron Johnson, Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley.

Both Newsom and DeSantis are among the top names being floated as potential 2024 contenders in their respective parties, particularly if President Biden and former President Trump choose to sit out in the next presidential cycle.

Newsom drew national attention in July for airing an ad in Florida, telling residents that "freedom is under attack" in the Sunshine State and urging them to move to California "where we still believe in freedom."

DeSantis responded by slamming Newsom's "terrible governance," mocking how he now sees "a lot" of California license plates in his state, adding "if you go to California, you ain't seeing very many Florida license plates."

Last week, Newsom pledged $100,000 to the campaign of DeSantis' Democratic opponent, Rep. Charlie Crist, who previously served as Florida's governor.

A recent Berkeley IGS Polls survey showed that 61% Californians, including 46% of Democrats, did not want President Biden to seek a second term and that Newsom and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., topped the list among registered Democrats as the potential 2024 nominee.

Newsom was also deemed by conservatives as the Democrat most difficult to defeat in 2024 according to a straw poll conducted at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit.

The California governor raised eyebrows for his July visit to the White House as President Biden was away on an overseas trip with critics joking he was "measuring the drapes."

Meanwhile, DeSantis has similarly been highly buzzed among Republicans as a potential standard-bearer in 2024 as the country awaits whether Trump will seek a return to the White House.

Both Trump and DeSantis performed the best in CPAC's straw poll in early August which showed the former president earning a whopping 69% of support among attendees while the Florida governor received 24% support. All other Republicans polled in the single digits.

In a hypothetical primary without the former president, DeSantis topped the straw poll with 65%. Placing second was Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., with 8% backing, followed by Cruz with 6% and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with 5%. No one else topped 2% on the second ballot question.

Notably, DeSantis edged out Trump in a New Hampshire poll conducted in June with 39% of GOP primary voters backing the governor versus the 37% who support the former president. However, the recent FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago has left some political pundits to believe that it will ultimately benefit Trump among the base.

Fox News' Matt Wall and Joe Schoffstall contributed to this report.
 
Interesting bit I learned recently from someone who came to visit who live sin the bay area. Most of the targets and drugstores in SF never resumed normal hours after they started closing at 6 because people were blatantly robbing them.
In general, CA has been clinging onto a lot of the shit from the past 2 years that everyone else already moved on from. A lot of restaurants are still doing take out only, or limited seating. The gym near where I used to live still had limited hours. It was initially due to the labor shortage, but I think they just decided "fuck it" since the other businesses in the area didn't care.
I moved to NV a few months ago after living most of my life in different parts of CA, and I might write a bit about why the state is so fucked up.
 

Newsom departs from his liberal image with controversial wins at the Capitol​

In a subtle departure from his national image as a liberal champion, Gov. Gavin Newsom successfully pushed state lawmakers to support a series of tough policies in the final weeks of the legislative year that bucked progressive ideals and ultimately could broaden his appeal beyond California.

Democratic and Republican lawmakers at the state Capitol heeded his call to extend operations at Diablo Canyon, reversing an agreement environmental groups drove six years ago to shut down California's last remaining nuclear plant out of safety concerns.

The governor won support for his plan to provide court-ordered treatment for unhoused Californians struggling with mental illness and addiction amid outcry from powerful civil rights organizations.

Newsom vetoed legislation to allow supervised drug injection sites in pilot program cities, drawing criticism that his decision was politically motivated as speculation swirls around his prospects as a potential presidential contender.

"He is making political calculations on all of these decisions in a very deep and nuanced way that considers where he wants to go next," said Mary Creasman, chief executive of California Environmental Voters. "That doesn't mean he doesn't care about these issues. I think he does. He's making political calculations around how to still move the needle for climate while also protecting some of the political interests."

Newsom successfully lobbied the Legislature to approve a $1.4-billion forgivable loan for Pacific Gas & Electric in order to continue operations at Diablo Canyon through 2030. He said the bill was critical to the state's ability to avoid rolling blackouts during heat waves, which have caused problems for California and presented political challenges for the governor. Newsom signed that legislation into law Friday.

He balanced the controversial ask with a package of bills to address climate change that Creasman and other environmentalists celebrated.

The marquee policy in Newsom's climate package, which he announced just weeks before the end of the legislative session, created health and safety buffer zones between homes, schools and public buildings and new oil and gas wells. That also squeaked by this session after lawmakers had tried — and failed — to pass those restrictions for years without his intervention. Other more contentious legislation addressed carbon capture technologies, which some environmental organizations argue only perpetuates oil extraction.

"That was 100% strategic," Creasman said. "It's strategic because he wants the headlines to be about climate action versus about these other things he's doing, which I get. But he's doing both. The authentic story is both. There were some really phenomenal things and there were some really tough things."

Newsom pressed for the climate legislation amid a clash with the oil industry that drew national attention. As part of a campaign to call out Republican governors and make himself a resonating voice for Democratic voters across the country, Newsom ran ads in Florida contrasting that state’s restrictive policies on abortion rights and education with California's more liberal positions.

Western States Petroleum responded with its own advertisements in Florida warning about the cost of Newsom’s climate policies.

Creasman said being seen as a climate leader is smart if Newsom has national ambitions. Though the term "climate change" has been politicized, voters nationwide want the government to do more to mitigate increasing drought, wildfires, pollution and extreme heat. It's also the only issue that will give Newsom a global spotlight, she said.

Since his sound defeat of the Republican-led recall attempt last September, advisors to Newsom have said his decisions are less motivated by politics and are instead a reflection of the confidence he feels to govern in a more nuanced way. The strong support he received from the electorate gave him the freedom to stray from a strictly progressive agenda that many in his party want him to follow.

In an interview with The Times in July, Newsom said his first term has gone by in a flash and he wants to take advantage of the time he has left.

"If I'm privileged to have a second term, you guys will be writing my obituary within six months and who's the next person coming behind me," Newsom said. "I know how limited my time is and I just don't want any regrets. I don't want to look back and join some panel of ex-governors saying, 'I woulda, coulda, shoulda.' I'm not going to do that."

Robin Swanson, a Democratic political strategist, said Newsom's also practicing "pragmatic politics."

She compared his legislative approach to that of former Gov. Jerry Brown. When Brown returned to the governor's office in 2011 for his third term, he was a more seasoned politician with less adherence to a strict political ideology.

"I think this is part of his growth as governor," Swanson said. "When you're managing a state of 40 million people, you have to do what matters and what works in that moment whether that aligns 100% with what you would do in a perfect world. Those solutions often are a little more center, more middle of the road."

Newsom disappointed many of his allies last month when he vetoed Senate Bill 57, legislation to allow Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland to set up supervised injection site pilot programs. Moderate Democrats and Republicans, who characterized the bill as government authorization to use lethal drugs, applauded the decision. They urged Newsom to pour more resources into treatment and rehabilitation programs instead.

But advocates and addiction specialists said the veto would lead to more deaths amid an opioid overdose crisis.

Mike Herald, director of policy advocacy for the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said the governor's rejection of the bill was disappointing because it seemed like the type of first-in-the-country bold action he gravitates toward.

Herald also suggested hewing toward the middle is not new for Newsom. While he was a county supervisor and then mayor of San Francisco, Newsom championed Care Not Cash, a policy to reduce welfare for single homeless adults and instead spend the funds on shelters, housing and services.

"I'm just not as surprised as some when he's more conservative-leaning on certain issues," Herald said.

Newsom also faced fervent opposition from civil rights groups for his Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court proposal, a far-reaching plan to provide court-ordered treatment for thousands of Californians suffering from a mix of severe mental illness, homelessness and addiction.

A coalition that included the American Civil Liberties Union, Disability Rights California and the Western Center on Law and Poverty — groups with whom Democrats in the Capitol often align — spent the legislative session castigating the proposal as an inhumane effort to criminalize homelessness and strip people of their personal freedoms. The Legislature overwhelmingly approved it, with Republicans and Democrats celebrating its passage.

"It runs completely counter to truly progressive ideals," said Susan Mizner, director of the ACLU's Disability Rights Program. "It's a throwback to an era in which we punish people for being poor and we punish people for having mental illness."

Homelessness and crime were among the top three concerns for California registered voters in a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted this spring, and Newsom is well aware of the potential political liabilities he faces if he fails to address those issues.

Despite the criticism from the left, Newsom isn't expected to face much, if any, retribution from California liberals when he comes up for reelection in November. A recent poll found that Newsom led his challenger, state Sen. Brian Dahle (R-Bieber), by more than a 2-1 margin. Many of the conservative Republican's policy positions, including his opposition to abortion rights and government mandates of COVID-19 vaccinations and restrictions, are denounced by Democrats.

Newsom and Democratic lawmakers this year did notch big wins on gun control legislation, an issue embraced by the left, after a wave of mass shootings this spring and summer shocked the nation.

Newsom and legislators pledged swift action on more than a dozen gun control bills, including one modeled after Texas’ vigilante abortion law that will allow private people to sue anyone who imports, sells or distributes illegal firearms in California. Nearly every measure passed, and Newsom has already signed the majority into law.

But Newsom couldn’t win over enough state lawmakers to pass a concealed-carry proposal. He made national headlines in June when he introduced the legislation alongside California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and state Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling against restrictive open-carry laws in New York, California and other blue states.

Senate Bill 918 would have designated dozens of places as “sensitive,” meaning off-limits to carry firearms, and added new licensing criteria to determine if applicants presented a danger to themselves or others. The proposal fell two votes shy of passage early Thursday morning, after several moderate Democrats either abstained or voted against the measure.

"He wants to be a player in national Democratic politics," said Jack Pitney, a professor of American politics at Claremont McKenna College. "He also has to attend to the mundane business of running California. And both of those things are on his mind."

Newsom surely remembers what happened to the last blue-state governor who won the Democratic presidential nomination, Pitney said. Michael Dukakis took positions that looked good in Massachusetts but made him vulnerable to GOP attacks in the 1988 presidential race.
 

Newsom's gun positions alone will doom him in a general election, more extreme than Biden has ever managed, and Biden has made some headway.

Plus being from California as well, will give him a struggle in the South during the Democrat primaries, since all those darkies down South are not the same kind of godless filth yet, compared to the average Californian nigger, who lives for gibs and gibs.
 
A company hoping to help California with its high-speed rail built one in North Africa instead, saying the region was ‘less politically dysfunctional’


1665408238312.png
  • French state-owned railroad operator wanted to help California with its high-speed rail project.
  • The company left after the state refused to listen to its recommendations, The New York Times reported.
  • "SNCF was very angry," Dan McNamara, a project manager for SNCF, told the Times.

The Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF), a French state-owned railroad operator, came to California in hopes of helping the state build a high-speed rail system from Los Angeles to San Francisco but left for North Africa in 2011 because the region was 'less politically dysfunctional' than the Golden State.
Within 7 years, they built a functioning high-speed rail system in Morocco, the New York Times reported.
California sought to have the first high-speed rail system in the country, but a new report from the Times showed political disagreement on the train's route slowed the ambitious project to a near halt — and raised construction costs by billions.

The bullet train system, first proposed in the 1980s, would transport passengers between LA and San Francisco in 2 hours and 40 minutes. The project, approved by a 2008 vote, was meant to cost $33 billion and be completed by 2020.

Cut to 2022 and the California Speed Rail Authority now estimates the cost will be $113 billion, the Times reported.

Dan McNamara, a project manager for SNCF, told the Times after recommendations made by the company were ignored by the state the company decided to pull out.

"There were so many things that went wrong," McNamara told the Times. "SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional."

Many of the issues surrounding the project are tied to different political figures who want the rail route to pass through their cities and regions, the Times reports. The original plans were meant to have a direct route through the San Gabriel Mountains, but politicians wanted to divert the rail into the Mojave desert and parts of Central California.

Politicians in desert cities like Palmdale and Lancaster argued that diversions would provide more riders and help their local economies, the Times reported. Alterations to the proposed route were made at the cost of a speedy build.

Former President Donald Trump also pulled $1 billion in funding for the project in 2019 after the Federal Railway Administration said the state failed to make progress on the project. However, President Joe Biden restored much of this funding last year.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority continues to build: The first section of the rail is under construction in Central California. The authority hopes to begin testing the section in 2025.
Some rail operators told the Times the entire project could potentially be a bust.

"I don't think it is an existing project," Quentin Kopp, a former rail chairman, told the Times. "It is a loser."
