A reader comments on California’s ongoing woes:
I would say for the next 5 to 10 decades, this will be the new normal. I’ll also say the really unpopular idea: there are too many people in California, in the USA and in the world for anything resembling our current way of life to be sustainable.
Someday I must dig up the libertarian retort to charges of overpopulation. As I recall, they applied some fairly sophomoric math in their attempt to prove the assertion wrong, and lately it’s occurred to me that it might be fun to tear their freehand equation apart and point out why it’s an embarrassment.
Although the subject is moderately morbid in itself.
