Normalizing Insanity: Lessons from California’s Crazy, Crazy Politics

"If you [are] transgendered illegal immigrant, California is the place you want to be. For most normal people, the other 49 states are a saner choice."

"Explaining why California’s quality of life is literally in the crapper."


"The data is in, and it turns out that the quality of life in the Golden State is the lowest in the nation, confirming my reports from the front lines of California’s cultural war against the rest of the nation:
…The Golden State ranked 50th in quality of life by fairing poorly in the natural and social environment categories.
The report, released Tuesday, ranks states based on a healthy environment and a sense of community. It takes into account each state’s urban air quality, pollution and voter participation, among other measures.
California ranked last in urban air quality and 45th in “low pollution health risk,” although it was 13th in drinking water quality. The state also found itself second-to-last in voter participation, 44th in community engagement and 38th in social support.
Despite its beaches, redwood trees and Hollywood glam, the state’s blemishes are often highlighted. Los Angeles consistently leads as the world’s most traffic-congested urban area and even its own citizens have tried to secede multiple times.
"I think I have an explanation for this result: The progressives in this state have promulgated regulation after regulation that tries to normalize insanity.

"Two examples that are related to my work as an environmental health and safety professional highlight this point. Both aspects involve postings at worksites that employers are required to make.

"The first of these posting requirements is that employers must post notices when federal agents are intending to conduct a review of employment eligibility records." . . .

"But there even more crazy to enjoy! California’s employers must have a posting about transgender rights." . . .

"Conservative pundit Tammy Bruce, who is also and the newly minted President of the Independent Women’s Voice, noted that the descent into madness accelerated during Obama’s two terms in office." . . .
