Can anyone tell us wtf is going on?
Gas utility rates are 50% ABOVE the national average.
We are 11 percent of America’s population yet have 24% of the homeless.
It takes 4.7 YEARS to get through environmental review for prescribed burns to prevent wildfires.
Our government runs on old computing mainframes from the 1980s. Errors in these systems lead to $31 BILLION DOLLARS in fraudulent unemployment claims being sent out, equal to the GDP of Iceland.
Over a 5 year period we spent $24 BILLION on homelessness and a recent audit revealed we have NO IDEA how exactly those dollars were spent.
Our budget grew OVER 60% from 2019 to 2024. Where did that money go? Do you feel 60% better off than in 2019?
Prop 1 passed in 2024 allocates billions towards beds for the homeless at a cost of $650 THOUSAND per bed. At that rate, it would cost $320 BILLION to solve the homeless problem.
The Bakersfield to Merced portion of our failing high speed rail project is projected to cost $35 billion- exceeding the estimated cost for the ENTIRE system from Los Angeles to San Francisco. SHUT IT DOWN.
TEXAS has blown past us in utility solar energy production. We can’t even build the things we claim to care about.
Our prison system costs DOUBLE the national average.
California housing and electricity costs DOUBLE the national average.
We are a top 8 oil producing state yet gas for our cars is the MOST EXPENSIVE in the country.
We passed Prop 1 in 2014 to build more reservoirs and not a SINGLE one has been built.
We have the HIGHEST small business renewal fees in the country.
In 2021 for the first time in our great state’s history, our population DECREASED- an acute sign of absolute dysfunction.
A French train company working on our failing high speed rail project left for North Africa because it is “LESS POLITICALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL” The French don’t know much but they know something about building trains.
We are the only state in the union that has made it ILLEGAL to require sobriety checks or drug addiction treatment when offering housing to the homeless.
The Santa Ynez Reservoir in the Palisades had been out of commission for nearly a YEAR when the fires broke out and the hydrants went dry.
Our government workers are the highest paid in the country and make TWICE the amount of our private sector employees.
We were one of only four states to DEFAULT on our Covid era loan from the federal government. Footing California businesses with the bill.
We have a MILLION housing units that have been approved but are currently blocked by frivolous lawsuits our laws encourage.
I’m sixth generation Californian Dick Lucas. I run a business. I build software. I create jobs. I’m the only politician who has hiked our entire state.
Our options right now are boomers bumbling along or young communists who hate America. A new generation of leadership is needed or our state and our country are cooked. I will be that chad in the room, but you can call me Dick.
