      Honestly California, especially as of late, has a habit of mandatory compliance and it’s obviously not a good thing. California is littered with the poor and everything is so expensive that they’re only a rich state on technicality and it’s no wonder why people from there are leaving.

      I'm British with USA friends and I love this channel esp these sketches! My only criticism here is that counterintuitive is something that works that defies your expectations, the word there should've been "counterproductive" even if I don't necessarily agree with that part.
      People with mental health problems + illegal drug abuse issues together, need both a carrot and a stick to want to get better, and ready access to therapy, maybe good CBD products perhaps and certainly not that uber strong herb the USA has now. We're at the point now the flower is stronger than 60s gold seal.
      Flower then: About 5%. Flower today can reach 33% before extra special processing.
      The California hippies are now living stereotypes, MEMES of the Reefer Madness propaganda, which started off back in the day as literal racism against Mexicans and Black Americans.

Didn't matter that he'd lived here almost his entire adult life, served in the Texas Air National Guard, did hurricane relief, graduated from a Texas College, and had lived here longer than she'd been out of diapers. He was born and raised in California and that was all that mattered to her.

    This video encouraged me to ask my friend how bail/bonds work and, while I already hated the U.S. government, I now know how much more I should hate it. It gets worse every day!
    In other news, California's stuff reminds me of what it's like as a mentally ill person dealing with the mental healthcare system. Psych wards are terrifying. I went to one for teens and younger willingly and came out traumatized. It was horrific hearing the stories of people who were forced there, and we all had to follow spoken and unspoken rules if we wanted to get out. Most horrific was some kids saying they were in worse hospitals, such as a common one they went to involving patients fighting each other and staff not interfering. I already felt stripped of my personhood. I can't imagine what it was like in that hospital.
    TL;DR, yeah, some people need a push to get help, but when that help might involve your loss of personhood or worse, sometimes the other option is to stay free with no support.
    If not for a lot of poor/disabled programs requiring me to get mental health help, I wouldn't be working with some doctors. It's hard to find good ones if you can't afford it.

      Edit: I did go back and read through some of the document and while I do believe some of these changes are good, I feel some do more harm.
      Its good that officers are required by law to have body cams on them and that they can't review the footage before writing a report.
      But its also stupid that an officer can't remove someone from private property unless they are threatening. Say for example a squater comes into your house and makes themselves at home. You call the police to have them removed for trespassing yet all they can do is give them a citation so long as the squatter isn't being threatening. That makes no sense.
      Another thing is that the legislation makes it illegal for officers to taze someone in the back despite in training it is recommended to target the back.
      Another is that should an individual under house arrest leave their place of detainment, the officers are unable to go after them for 48 hours. You can literally leave the state in that time.
      Again, while some of the newly implaced laws are good and beneficial, some of them are going to do more harm than good if not looked at more thoroughly.
      But then again I live in Florida so I guess I shouldn't really be talking.

    Sadly here in alaska it's like a revolving door with criminal acts, get caught in the act and your released on sight because many of the judges don't care and those who are guilty go free to commit more crimes before their day in court. Our court system here is so clogged up with repeated offenders who get arrested and released 2 or 3 times before the initial court date is obscene

    So, as a Floridian, I would like to ask that our governor gets his own character. Maybe like the federal government but with a red tie and pitchfork?

    Ben, Can you do one about Gov Newsom/California not signing AB 2183 which would keep farm workers safe from intimidation when it comes to voting in union elections?
