Imprimis, that is exactly what should worry people....these tax deaf fools hit one area help vote in people who turn a great place into a giant liberal shithole, then move when it gets to unaffordable or regulated.
San Francisco is getting ready to vote on a 1 penny per ounce tax (or 1.5 can't remember the exact amount) on sodas & diet sodas, which will raise millions more to piss away on this or that. Hopefully it won't pass but if it does watch out. No end in sight for things those dipsticks can dream up to tax.
Long ago we were working on a pipeline near Paso Robles and on the ROW there was a giant cottonwood tree. In it was the nest of a red-tailed hawk and they had some hatchling in the nest. The whole project was shut down for something like 12 days so the hawks could fledge and wouldn't be disturbed (now contrast that to the hundreds of BOP that are sliced n diced in wind farms). Couldn't believe what I saw or heard there. Those people are freakin bat shit crazy. Fortunately Texas has a deeper pool of conservative folks than CA. I saw the same thing happen when I lived in Jackson Hole though, in the early 90's.
