My county is a shithole for sure. And that definitely increases drug related deaths and collateral and suicides and homicides and crime in general. And like all the economic damage created by an oppressive theocratic state that forbids justice and independence.
But, like, it's honestly a lot bigger than Ron DeSantis. Sure he's a scummy Italian boy and totally a jerk but like he's not personally responsible and not going to fix it. Because basically the laws and regulations creating this mess are Federal in nature. Cali slapping expensive bandaids and life support on the problems is basically a short term stop gap to blunt the economic recession until they can implement Demolition Man v2.
Needless none of that works when you're entire supply chain requires undocumented cheap labor and 3rd world economies and the few companies that pay even a barely livable wage are like Amazon and Blizzard. And hell bent on world domination. So they are OK with criminalizing self defense and individuals. Like you do not get to be a Dr, Lawyer, or Banker these days unless you shill for a subsidiary of a syndication of a franchise of a worthless Chinese administrated firm paying rent to Chinese landlords.
