Good job governor. Required to stay off beaches, business’ closed, etc. Citizens being ticketed, and when protesting at the capital, armed guards with batons – ready to “control” those who are outraged about it all. Things have gone too far. Is this still America?
I truly believe the hardest hit in California are indigents, illegals, and those who live in poverty. I think that is probably what is happening in New York too.
Newsom allocated $50 million to BUY or provide rooms for ninety days for the largest homeless population of any state-108,000 people. Oh, he is also providing trailers.
He also is using 100 million more for grants to provide support services.
Let’s think about it: You can come to California and stay if you entered illegally, or are an indigent. California provides free phone and service to everyone like this. Redding provides tents, bikes, clothing and such. Now free food and motels and a stipend monthly.
I wonder if he leased or bought the motel 6 chain (one of many provided). Curiously I also wonder what will happen when the state “reopens” (if ever)….will all these folks just be told “Okay, times up. Leave. ”
Perhaps not. Newsom is talking about buying hotels so long-term housing will be provides. Hmmmm….I think that includes food, medical services, cleaning services, and of course, security services. What do I know, I am a peasant with a hard-working husband who exchanges his life for what these folks will be given for fee. After all Newsom says these people are California”s most vulnerable citizens.
I know in California we are experiencing “early releases” from jails. “You’re done. We don’t want you to get sick. Here is $200.00. Bye bye.
I may have mentioned, one non-violent offender was released, and 24 hours later my friend had to shoot and kill him because he was coming into her home. Police said she did the right thing.
California is still on a “STAY AT HOME order. I guess we are “lucky” we are ALLOWED to go out at all. I tried to get an accurate count on corona virus deaths – I mean the actual count, not these counts that are including deaths really not accurate, but “clumped together” with other deaths – no luck.
Just a note to give you CDC numbers on the flu virus this year thus far this year: between 39 million and 56 million flu illnesses, minimum 410,000 hospitalizations, and as many as 62 thousand deaths from flu. 169 of those were children.
Relax, it's just Life!
