California continues to favor PR (and PC) over citizens’ needs


American Thinker  "It's no secret that the liberal-run state of California has many present and alarming issues. If you live in one of the major cities, your commutes may involve evading medieval diseases like typhus due to a surplus of rats or stepping around used needles and human feces.
"California ranks at #2 out of 50 states in CNBC's 2019 most expensive states to live report with an average home price of $1,243,239. Despite being home to many of the world's rich and famous, California's homeless population is #1 in the country and rising steadily. Instead of devoting time and money to cleaning up the major cities of the golden state, the mayors of LA and San Francisco have prioritized other "needs."
"These PR-heavy pieces of legislation include banning plastic water bottles, plastic straws, e-cigarettes, rat poison, and even accommodating to felons by changing the terminology of their criminal status. These are all allegedly much higher public health concerns than rats, needles, feces, and rotting garbage.
"San Francisco's latest move sanitizes the language that is used to describe criminals, no longer referring to them as a "convicted felon," but instead a "justice-involved person." The soft new terminology also applies to addicts and juveniles calling them "a person with substance use history" or "a young person with justice system involvement."
"The Board of Supervisors voted this useless new bill into law merely days after banning the sale of plastic water bottles while leaving plastic soda bottles perfectly legal." . . .
