Some people ask "Why can't California be nice like Florida?"
We have Hollywood here in California, and Disneyland, and we can be a dream factory, we can create any atmosphere.
And for instance, we had a chef from Beverly Hills in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and so that casino had food that you would eat in Beverly Hills. And with that same train of thought you could turn Battle Mountain into Santorini, Greece, if you wanted to, just bring in architects from Greece and build housing like in Greece, etc.
The problem with California is that people are trying to make it into a gang war zone instead of being a resort. Florida is a resort, and so is California, and Hawaii. We do not need to live like poor gangsters. And now with the money pouring in from the Rams, there is no reason for the poverty in California, and people do not need to be violent little gangsters. This is Hollywood, train them for the arts, and for careers in film, etc. And it is just as easy to sell nice Italian sunglasses to tourists as it is to sell illegal drugs, but there is no punishment if you do things legally and according to the law. People can sell sunglasses and flip flops and suntan lotion to tourists and they can do it all legally.
And instead of doing "Blood In and Blood Out" movies then we instead need to do movies like "Beach Blanket Bingo." People need to have good clean fun instead of trying to be gang members.
California is great, just like Florida and Hawaii, we just to stop teaching our children that they need to be gang members. And we need for our wealthy corporations to reach out to our youth. Our sports teams and music stars can also help to reach out to the youth, along with Disney, and others. Our youth need to wake up, and learn that they do not need to be gangsters. Our youth can work at surf shops, and the teens can party with their friends.
Salute,
