Yes, the absence livable wage non-tech jobs in California is a problem. I don’t understand what isn’t fair in highlighting the issues that are disappointing about the California government. There are alternatives beyond the two party system, but if we don’t even have the ability to recognize our issues, we’ll never get anything better.
- majormajor 6y agoThe "not fair" part is only ascribing responsibility for the bad stuff. Something that gets discussed here a lot is CA law on non-competes, which could have a pretty big impact on that tech business part of the economy. But you said the economy is due to "tech culture and weather" - not possibly any policy-related things. CA has gotten some things right, and some things wrong. But I don't think you did a good job demonstrating why you think, say, the state government is more to blame for cost of living than the private sector economy is (from a "infinite growth forever isn't sustainable" point of view, say, or a "things are inflated by a flood of private VC investment to unprofitable companies that are distorting markets").
