I had a co-worker at a previous company who's hobby was roasting, that is the only thing I missed working there. His coffee was absolutely devine.

I just don't get it does CA not want anyone to have any fun/consume anything/or are they in some league with certain health care companies who are noting the rates of cancer are actually falling or what?
Placebo can be a pretty powerful thing, so any time I get that dang "hazardous to your heath" sticker (although they seem to sort of fallen off, of late, not sure what that's about) I immediately and fully tell my entire system that the sticker is bogus, it's a lie, and I think a lot about that damn video game that promised me "cake" when really all I got was a series of logic puzzles.... Although, I do love logic puzzles so there's that.
I also love vaping (sticker or not) and coffee (sticker or not). 100% cancer free so far. I figure why not harness the power of placebo to MY use, not whatever regulatory agency's use and etc.

California has a Very Strong Tea Lobby.
So BP funded them thru a 501(C)(4) so people would get Distracted and Not Talk about Deeming.
So no sex either??? Jeez.
Also, WTH???? I worked with a population over 50% positive for HIV at that time (can always count on Baltimore) that's not something that needs a quarantine for God's sake. Everything was perfectly fine.
I can admit that I (largely) ignore California (now that I've seen the redwoods) kinda hoping it either secedes (quietly) as you should see how much water it steals from ARIZONA (and we're a desert) largely, that or falls into the ocean or whatever it wants to do (less that, since I do actually care about some of it's residents and human beings generally) but I do wish the State House and some of the Courts would like, fall into a sinkhole or something.
Quarantines for HIV, OMG, it's starting to sound a bit like Nazi Germany and etc. I have no clue how that arose as an issue and I'm not sure I really want to... Although, I did find a wee bit of amusement over the fact that Wikepedia's first word on the topic was PANIC, with a definition.
Otherwise, yeah, it appears CA thinks it will do better killing off or "placebo poisoning" a large number of its residents. Holy Goodness, I'd be invoking my powers of "not falling prey to the placebo effect," almost constantly.
I'll take my homeless, my elderly, my snowbirds, the roads and etc. compared to CA. Also, given the choice of CA and Flint, Michigan.... I would move to Flint in a heartbeat.

They are also #2 in country for highest Vape tax, how in the world did Minnesota mange to beat them out.
What the Deeming doesnt get, the States will........

I don't blame the politicians who enact these taxes. I blame the people who vote for them. I'm way past blaming pols. We get what we vote for.
Indeed it did, but those taxes are actually fairly low compared to Cali's vape/tobacco taxes...
Well, then we need to stop having kids, or at least raise them properly. As far as I'm concerned, being a kid has now been "conscripted" into the propaganda machine, so yes we get what we vote for, but if you do enough "propaganda" on a child, it's going to take quite a few decades to ah, learn some "sense" as it were (if it ever happens).
I'm sort of for raising the voting age to 33 (arbitrary number, based on when Jesus died, but at least by then, a brain is "fully hooked up" and ready to use).... and lowering the age of drinking, vaping, whatever else to 16. The military.... IDK. If we lower the "age" of sin taxes far enough, perhaps the kids can't be used in the anti- wars.
Although then, we'd have sweeping tales of middle schoolers Juuling.
I 100% agree that we get what we vote for, but I feel the Southpark episode covered that adequately.
I will say, one Halloween, my son handed out candy (he was about 14) along with the statement "Happy Halloween... Vote Gary Johnson."
LOL, the families were mostly bemused. It was great.

I agree, but most of the time, the choice is person #1 (bad, don't want), or person #2 (really bad, don't want even more), so we vote for the better one of the choices, but BOTH are BAD choices.
And most of the people in charge of doing the deeming, we don't vote for, they are appointed by the ones we did vote for, with no input from us.
Yes hence my Southpark reference which really can't be stated, but it was one of their "top 10 episodes of all time" in my book. They were voting for a new school mascot and the two choices were so unappealing, Stan, I think it was refused to vote, and then was tarred and feathered and had to go live with PETA.
So I agree that with two almost as bad as each other choices, well, your "choice" to vote for a third party candidate EXISTS, but the pols did a pretty great job about hollering how "one" side "handed" the other the election by voting third party. It was a shame, IIRC, as that was the first time a "non sponsored" candidate actually hit more than about 2% nationally. So, you'd better believe both sides (and the media) were all over THAT.

Somebody voted for the lesser of two evils. There's a thing called primaries and turnout is anemic.
About California
Oh yeah I loved that South park Episode and that is exactly what our electoral process seems like most of the time. You have to vote for who will take the least from you.

Why vote for the lesser of two evils?The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Vote Cthulhu!

My vote goes to the Flying Spaghetti Monster...which...given enough inebriation, could be a poor description of Cthulhu...
I think I see your point.
