What's wrong w/California?

Just bought a new pair of work boots. Freakin' shoes! Inside the box was a warning that the state of California determined that they can cause cancer. It took me a while to figure out that it was the "work" part of work boots that they were worried about.

 

Haha. They are ok with some of us working so some of them don't have to. Just about everything is wrong with California at the moment. The proposed tax on drinking water by the new gov is over the top ridiculous.

 

Can't be specific because this is in general. So....everything.

 

Thanks for the reminder, brex...almost sent myself to banned camp.

 

Yeah, this wasn't the place to start this thread. Someone is going to fail.

 

What's wrong with California?

It's my understanding that it never rains there, but one must be forewarned that it pours, man, it pours.

 

When I worked in foodservice the gloves we used to handle food had the same warning on them

 

Proposition 65 warnings have been on everything for what - 30+ years now. You are just noticing?

I just installed a new sink, faucet, stove and dishwasher. All components used were in packaging with notices using that language.

 

Yeah, but how come all those tears from their SJW-ing isn't enough to thwart their droughts?

 

California is saving the world by stopping to use plastic straws.

 

Since they're eating Tide Pods, California figures anything is edible, and eating work boots could possibly lead to cancer.

 

Starts with D and ends with S.

Yes Im talking about...donkeys.
Thats the problem...

 

If I'm ever adrift in the middle of the ocean with nothing to eat but my work boots, I'll have to remember this.
On a more serious note, putting this warning on everything means nothing. So I guess Tide pods are OK.

 

Exactly ONE FDA approved manufacturer of those stupid paper straws. Not too hard to follow the money there... but, but it’s about the ENVIRONMENT!!

 

You're welcome!

 

But can you buy them in Rhode Island?

 

The answer is the people. They allow the government out there to happen.

 

So, we are down in Cali for some sun and Supercross. No foolin’—we walked by an apartment building the other day that had one of those Prop 65 signs on its underground garage. A garage. Like someone said above, what practical good is it if everything has one of those signs on it?

 

It sucks because I would love to live there. Except for... everything.

 

Nah. California is dope. Yes their politics are ridiculous, and some of the people are annoying.

But there’s also an ocean to the left and mountains to the right. Oh, and more national parks than any other state. Ohv riding areas galore, camping, backpacking and climbing opportunities too abundant to count, and at least where I live, perfect weather year round.

I always laugh when I hear someone from South Dakota tell me how bad California sucks. Okay, cool. More sunshine for me.
