This is not "California" as a whole. This is some commission with no power except to make recommendations, which was hastily founded in June 2020... yeah. These proposals have zero chance of becoming law. Quite frankly, shame on these people in the commission, because this does nothing but create a giant mismatch between expectations and reality, and it will only end with people getting pissed off at each other.

The commission was created by legislation authored by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber. It's not like this is some random group of academics with no political power. I agree that it has little chance of becoming law, though. And if Democrat machine politicians and true believers like Shirley Weber somehow push this through it'd be one of the few things that could make the Republican party viable again in California. We ought not to get complacent, though. It's an unworkable policy with a litany of obvious problems and it would be a catastrophe for California if it passed. Better to speak out now than complain later about how it all went wrong.
