The builders sow the seeds of destruction in the glorious and useful world they have created. It’s a great ironic gut punch in the historical cycle. California is doing heroic labor to show how it works.
At a Congressional hearing in Sacramento this week, a pro-activist named Erin Friday made a statement that seemed to dampen the debate. That is, “Women give birth.” Yes, she actually said that out loud and in public. It is wonderful. If it’s too intense for you to handle, take a moment.
Lawmakers in the room had no intention of ignoring that statement and immediately went on the offensive to set the record straight.You can watch the entire amazing clown show here.
Two California members of Congress led the rebuke. First, the eternally weird Laurie Wilson explained that men and non-binary people also give birth. Afterward, Mia Bonta thanked Wilson, saying, “She stated the obvious.” of course Men give birth. In other words, clearly. Tonight, in between sips of whiskey and deep bicep curls, I might even drop a few babies myself, just for recreation. It is the ultimate expression of masculinity, the creation of a newborn baby from within. Please wait a moment while we review the manual. Because I don’t fully understand this part yet.
Mia Bonta, who realized it was normal for men to have children, is married to Attorney General Rob Bonta, who passionately fights for childbirth. confirm Schools are having secret sexual discussions with children and not telling their parents. Rob and Mia Bonta have several children, but of course we don’t know which of them actually gave birth to the couple’s child. But from the press conference, I think it was Rob.
I’ve been thinking about California all week because I’ve been doing some pretty tiring driving, burning fossil fuels up and down Interstate 5 and the generally relatively pleasant Highway 101.
A drive through this state reveals our history. In the Mojave Desert, space-age aircraft were built by a bunch of brilliant lunatics strapped to extremely fast objects that flew skyward, sometimes never coming back at all. In Silicon Valley, tinkerers and college dropouts built the computer age while also looking like a bunch of damn hippies. The San Joaquin Valley has fed tens of millions of people around the world.
By the way, we also have an amazing number of cattle farms. But they hide what they’re doing by putting up signs everywhere saying the cows are organic and very happy.
Thursday night, I drove south past the ship in the pouring rain. carry oil A few hours later in Richmond, I was struck by the short distance between Apple’s multibillion-dollar headquarters and a city known for its growth. garlic and lettuce. We are people who make things, and that’s why California is so important. My grandparents immigrated here in the 1950s, seeking opportunities here with economic growth and significant productivity growth.
you probably remember how Chicago It was once “the world’s hog butcher, tool maker, wheat stacker, railroad player, and nation’s freight forwarder.” It was also California for an amazing few decades.
And now we know that men give birth.
Productive, efficient, creative, competent people make things, which leads to prosperity, which leads to comfort and leisure, which leads to depravity, decadence, and Lori Wilson.
In other news, California voters approved high-speed rail. 2008 referendum It also authorized the issuance of $9.95 billion in bonds to pay for the costs. Last month, officials in charge of building this thing said there hasn’t been a mile of rail laid yet, but it’s only been nine years since we’ve been actively working on this thing. announced The final cost to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco would be nearly $135 billion, and a much shorter initial section could be operational sometime in the 2030s.
Our grandfathers, who built an aerospace industry, a massive agricultural powerhouse, and a globally dominant computer business, were the ones in a state where they couldn’t toast without starting a fire and ruining a billion-dollar bond issue. The foundation was being laid. You, in post-war America, with all your efforts and efforts, made everyone too comfortable, and now look at us.
But at least we have the consolation prize of a man giving birth, so the lights should stay on even when we close our doors. the last real power plant.
