Being Under Employed/Paid

[JS80]

You're not underemployed, you're overpaid.

If anyone thinks for a minute that Meg Whitman will be able to do any better with her "run it like a business" mindset, they are sorely mistaken.
She has the same Pete Wilson Team that Arnie had.
She forgets that there is an entire Senate and Assembly with their own agenda, and she's not a part of either Party's grand plan.
Unless she has a private militia she plans on landing the instant she wins, she is relying on the mass' stupidity to elect her.

As long as she derails anything the senate tries to do with a stalemate, it's a win for people of California.

That money the assembly wants to spend is partially because the "box of rocks" voters in CA never meet a social proposition that they didn't like. All the time not understanding that someone (taxpayers) have to pay for it.

I want my high speed rail to Fresno dammit.

Actually, I think most states would probably approve the same measures we have done. They, however, were smart enough not to have a horrible proposition system like we do and a budget that doesn't require a super majority. I'm sure Grey Davis is laughing at us right now. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer becomes the Sanitation Commissioner and the incumbent's quote when it turns into a disaster: " Oh gosh. You know, I'm not much on speeches, but it's so gratifying to... leave you wallowing in the mess you've made. You're screwed, thank you, bye."

I understand that Kalifornia has one of the higher minimum wages in the US. $7.25 is actually closer to us than I would have though, it's $8/hr here.

At any rate sorry to hear that. Hope you find some form of compensation. California is one of the few states in the US I could see living in, others include NY (proabbly only NT City), WA, OR, but it must suck to be in a bankrupt state

It's not about the money. I just wanted to rant without ranting. They almost always backfire.
