That's California for you, stupid policies that feel good but make no sense.


sort by: page size:

California's whole proposition system is stupid in general.

California screwed itself over with such a stupid mandate.

What an absurd and completely unenforceable idea. Its almost like California is intentionally trying to throw away their economic blessings…

Exactly! California can go F itself. They should not be legislating this crap.

Foolishness from the California legislature? Nahhhhh.

This is an example of ridiculous government overreach. Should fit right in for California.

California didn't mandate material changes, just stupid labels.

Everywhere else with more reasonable tax and zoning laws. I'm amazed that Californians vote this nonsense onto themselves and then are astonished that nobody else does.

Its california, so some useless regulation for sure

It is fun watching the Democrats running California to self pwn themselves over and over with idiotic legislation like this.

This is silly, and case in point why the California statute should be federal law.

The hate for stupid laws in CA is stuff like CEQA which is ostensibly about protecting the environment, but really used as a blackmail tool for residents to block more environmentally friendly apartment buildings they don't like to protect their city subsidized parking and in the end causes housing to cost more than it should.

Or the useless "anything could cause cancer" labels that get slapped on everything so everybody just ignores them.

Or the classic prop 13 which helps fuel housing affordability.

Or AB5 which will get rid of a lot of gig economy jobs outright and needed 100s of profession exceptions to not destroy even more people from getting employed.


That doesn't work at all in California.

Really doesn't apply in California.

That and practically disallowing the sale of incandescent light fixtures. It's all typical California insanity. You don't have to deal with that in a lot of other parts of the country.

Sounds like typical California legislation to me.

Making that kind of tradeoff is something that California legislators seem very bad at.

There's no way this would ever pass. There must be an ulterior motive. Or even scarier, California legislators are just that dumb.

That hasn't worked super well in California, from many accounts.
