We have been following the hapless antics of California Gov. Gavin Newsom for quite some time.
But his recent move was more unfortunate than most. Newsom recently asked for design ideas for a new state coin honoring innovation to be released in 2026.
The responses he received on social media clearly show that Newsom’s experience in this state differs vastly from that of the average resident.
When people outside California think of innovation, they think of things like Silicon Valley and the tech boom as well as leading the way in wildlife conservation.But lately, businesses have been fleeing the blue state because of its failure to address crime, homelessness and the escalating cost of living.The constituents did not hold back on providing the governor with ideas that they thought seemed fitting for the state’s new $1 coin.Jim Stanley, the press secretary for the State Assembly Republicans, sent his ideas to Newsom with a letter shared by the California Globe, highlighting the governor’s accomplishments while in office.
The submissions show that Californians have retained their sense of humor…gallows humor.

I wonder if we can mint $73 billion of these to pay off the state budget deficit.
