As you may have already noticed, there’s a lot of criticism of the Governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles for the fires that are taking place.
I’m not sure that there was anything they could have done to prevent this devastation.
This is a Katrina type event.
How do you stop a hurricane? You can’t. How do you prevent widespread fires where the wind is whipping around at 100 miles an hour? You can’t.
Nevertheless, the Blowhard-in-Chief Elect is blaming Gavin Newsom and Kaaren Bass for the devastation.
The fact that Trump is blaming them should give one pause.
Still Trump may have a point. California could’ve done a much better job with brush control and water management.
Why can’t California fix things?
Given the horrendous fires in Los Angeles, you would think that you would see a change in the leadership in California.
This will not happen.
Nothing will happen with the leadership in California. And that is because the citizens of California are largely programmed by the mainstream media to keep voting for these people.
Sure, you might see a few measures pass here and there, but nothing of substance to fundamentally fix the problem.
California has long needed new water projects, dams, to fix the California water shortage.
Nothing will change.
Nothing will change with controlling the brush either. The people will continue to live like Hansel and Gretel out in the woods with trees coming right up to their house.
It will be difficult to cut down trees because of existing legislation.
Currently you have taxation without representation in the state of California.
You have one assemblyman for 500,000 people.
You have one state senator for one million people. That’s terrible representation.
As a result, it’s very difficult for the average Californian to know his representative.
Consequently, the representative gets his ideas from celebrities, activists, and corporate CEOs. He also takes his cue from mainstream media, which he thinks represents how people are thinking..
The representative rarely listens to regular people.
To fix this, you must create nine sub districts of 50,000 people for each assemblyman.
Each elected subassemblyman will then vote for the assemblyman.
In this manner, it will be possible for the average Californian to know the guy who will know the assemblyman.
Thus by knowing the guy who knows the guy, the average Californian will be closer to his or her assemblyman.
This should do the trick in getting better legislation.
Indirect representation is the best way to fix what’s wrong.
That’s the system our Founding Fathers had set up in this country for the election of national senators and presidents before our Johnny-Come-Lately Know-nothings changed it to a direct democracy.
Direct democracy is horrible. Direct democracy kills people.
It is an indirect representative democracy that works.
