Last year, I reported that the tech giant Oracle moved its important annual conference from San Francisco to Las Vegas, citing dirty streets and high hotel costs. The streets have certainly not gotten cleaner, nor the costs less. Add the state's pandemic business shutdowns into the equation, and it is little wonder that the California cash cows are seeking greener pastures.

The San Francisco Unified School District targeted 44 schools for possible name changes back in October. The list included Abraham Lincoln. Dianne Feinstein, Herbert Hoover, and others. The school district voted this week to rename Abraham Lincoln school due to his comments about black people and "the majority of his policies proved to be detrimental to [Native Americans]."

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced the strictest lockdown orders yet, an announcement which caught the LA County Sheriff off-guard. Sheriff Villanueva told local news that his department will not participate in enforcing stay at home orders saying that it's the job of the health department and that he doesn't want to make businesses who've worked hard to comply only to have the rug yanked from beneath them more "miserable."

The Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns and mask orders are purportedly intended to protect people from getting and spreading the virus. However, the trouble with this is the long (long) list of lawmakers, governors, mayors, and others in power who are issuing these job-killing, soul-destroying orders and then carrying on their own lives as if there is no deadly plague sweeping the planet.  Are they suicidal?  Homicidal, even potential serial killers? Or do they know something we don't?
