  • These screenshots imply the family’s wealth is built upon the father’s full time gambling addiction “working out” (he never quit, apparently).

    Realistically though this is either a shitpost, satire, or pointing out the stupidity of thinking gambling will support your family. (And this is the place to repost lol)







  • I could give less of a fuck if my friends and loved ones are being pulled into vans under the orders of some miserable politicians out east who never represented us.

    If D.C. can fix their own shit, my tune will change. As of now, California’s my refuge away from federal hell, and I don’t see the flames extinguished yet.







  • Very high concentrations of educated citizens among the populace, a functional tax system that actually reinvests into its people compared to many other states in the union (especially below the Mason-Dixon line), and key cities center to high-tech development and critical US industries, military or otherwise (Seattle, LA, San Jose, San Francisco).

    Additionally, because these states were some of the last to be incorporated into the United States, they largely were able to develop in less rigid ways in the 20th and 21st centuries compared to other states in the union (Cheaper land also allowed developing industries like computing to invest heavily in the region).

    Though not a perfect summation, here’s a video from Vox about why Silicon Valley is located in California: https://youtu.be/6xvrKW2H_hA

    I can try to explain any other questions about our politics and social norms as a Californian (though I’m less familiar with Oregon and Washington State, sadly).
