It amazes me that people just got through getting livid about trump trying to subvert the constitution by overturning his election and his supporters trying to seize the capitol and you want to go around overturning the constitution (by suspending the first amendment rights to speech and assemble, not to mention the fourth, and the individual rights of the states) chinese style to get authoritarian lockdown. It is pretty self evident the far left is totalitarian

incidentally my younger bro explained to me the reason for prioritizing the justice system is because there’s already a huge backlog of trials they need to get moving. So apparently they plan to suck all of us prevaccination into jury duty so they can get that calendar moving

This article makes a lot of excuses for his lack of knowledge on how to lead any part of this state. I almost would say it is flattering to someone who has failed so significantly. He has ignored calls from so many different groups on many different issues. Whether it is the lockdowns, taxes, unemployment insurance, youth sports, homeless crises, lose of large corporations, rolling black outs, fires, opening schools, you name it and he has screwed it up. All while smirking at the camera and telling all who will listen in his press conferences that he follows data and science. He follows money and political ideology and besides his good hair doesn’t have any redeeming qualities needed to be governor. I hope this has ruined any political future he thought he had and that he spends the rest of his life thinking about the suffering he caused through his horrible policies.My folks have both signed the recall petition in the last week.

Fact - every year more deaths are recorded in the months of December, January, and February than any other time of the year.
Fact - In 2018, the US had about 2.84 million deaths
Fact - Every year, total deaths go up by 50k to 60k people, i.e. projected total for 2020 before CoVid was 2.95 million
Fact - In 2020, roughly 3.10 million passed.
Fact - Excess deaths are only 150,000. One could say that is all Covid, others could argue some of those deaths can be suicide, depression and other illness.
So, in summary, excess deaths are half of what you are really being told. All of this data can be found on the CDC website. Nothing here is from fake news sources.

It is amazing. When people don’t earn enough money to pay for the things they want they cut back. Whether it is they lose their home or can’t afford to eat out or whatever it is. Our government today never cuts back on any program. Everything they do is thought of as must haves. I heard the other day California has unfunded liabilities in the form of pension promises in the trillions. This state is basically bankrupt but will not cut anything. Let’s stop building the speed train for our first cut. I bet it wouldn’t be hard for anyone with common sense to cut billions from this states budget. The tax and spending happening in this state is unsustainable. I am not sure how long the state government can keep this shell game going.Watch various tax increases and fee increases as states, counties and municipalities try to fix the big hole in their budgets due to the shutdowns.

The Ventura County vaccine website has crashed because there's no verification process for an approved profession to receive the vaccine. So many people who shouldn't be registered have registered it's unlikely that old people will be able to get on again until February-March. So my Dad is registered to receive it next week (as an active physician) but my mom (who let her license expired) will likely now need to wait for months. Once again, nice job California!
Send them to San Diego. We have a senior care facility advertising advanced vaccine availability for new residents and a mass vaccination site open for all associated with health care (volunteers included).

"The state is transforming baseball stadiums, fairgrounds and even a Disneyland Resort parking lot into mass vaccination sites."
While some are reluctant, we need to take advantage of those folks who want the vaccine ASAP. Don't worry so much about upfront administration/forms/sign ups. Bring your driver's license for proof of age and insurance card if you have one and line up. Give the vaccine until you run out. Give those who waited and didn't get a shot a higher priority for the next round. I have no first-hand knowledge, but the feeling I get is that too much time is being spent trying to organize the process. Put the inconvenience on people who want the vaccine. It's the government and it's a huge undertaking. People will understand and expect it.
