California is a hot mess all around. Last time I wss there I couldn’t wait to get out. High taxes are absolutely the biggest reason by far though. And with good reason, if I had a business in Cali, I’d move too. Here in Nevada, there is no income tax, and the sales tax is around 8.25%. When I lived in CA, I was military so I didn't have to worry about income tax there, as I was still a WA resident. I'd love to live in San Diego again, but the taxes are definitely a killer.

Amazatron Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 So uh, got woken up in the middle of the night in the Bay Area by the loudest thunderstorm (with lightning show) I've ever heard around here. This is in the middle of our massive heatwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I think this really illustrates the frog in the boiling water problem that climate change represents. I think that stat speaks for itself, but the sense I get is that the way this is being covered in the news, especially while it's competing with COVID and the convention, is just kinda like, "Oh yeah, it's fire season again" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uaarkson Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I went to Kuwait City for a day and it was 114, which was enough to have me pouring sweat before we even got down the ramp to the bus. I can’t fathom how anyone could survive that heat without AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are increasing problems pretty much everywhere across the state. And even if we just talk fires, the effect of those can be significant in multiple ways.
