Newsom and the Democrats have failed us. Out of the 16 highest unemployment Metro Areas in the nation nine are from California. Give Gavin another year and maybe he will have 12—or 75%. Of the seven worst, six are in California—the Democrats know what they are doing. Within the month, as vaccine mandates hits, we could have all 16 in the nation and an economy that shut down, crime rampant and health care ended.
“Three metro areas were tied for ninth with August unemployment rates of 8.8 percent. These included the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif. metro area; the Fresno, Calif. metro area; and the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas metro area.
Two metropolitan areas tied for twelfth at 8.5 percent. These were the Stockton-Lodi, Calif. metro area and the Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina, Hawaii metro area.
Three tied for fourteenth at 8.3 percent. These were the Rockford, Ill. metro area; the Madera, Calif. metro area; and the East Stroudsburg, Pa. metro area.
With taxes going up, homeless and crime growing, with corruption in the government housing sector and cops afraid to arrest criminals, the former Golden State is looking like a State of Anarchy and Chaos. That will cause more productive people to leave, replaced by law breakers here illegally from other nations. A vicious cycle meant to destroy what is left of California.
