Timeout? No, timeouts are for Plats
LOL.
I hate it when they move to Vegas, and bring their socialist agenda with them.

Yeah but we have awesome weather - and a massively robust and strong economy. Jobs everywhere.
But at a price. Standard of Living sucks. LA is just traffic jams, mexican restaurants, walmarts and starbucks.
I love leaving the city - which I do a lot.

lol@ plenty of jobs. Low paying jobs I bet. Not everyone can be making a million dollars a year there for a salary. My hubby and I would have to be pulling in over a million a year in order to have our Ohio lifestyle in LA.(housing is too wicked there).

Cost of Living is obscene. Blame the nice weather and everyone, including those lovely people down south, wanting to move here.
Jobs, Low paying yes.
High paying yes. Middle paying average.
Doctors? IT workers in Irvine? Entertainment workers? Long shoremen? Construction workers? Govt workers? Jobs everywhere. I see little unemployment.
Salaries are based upon someone going 'above and beyond' in their field. So if you want to make that million - become that acclaimed heart surgeon, a-list actor, construction firm owner, IT services VP, etc. Really it is up to you - and the opportunity in LA really is, tremendous.
Honestly, there is little competition if you come here with skills. I have to literally turn down work - I just can only do so much.

I lived in Northern CA. in the late 70's(1976 to be exact). When my dad bought our home, he paid a lil over 250K for the place( above average home price in those days). 3 1/2 years later, he sold it for over 800K. He had wished he could have seen the housing boom waaaay back then, he would have bought 2 houses! I'm sure a lot of people wish they could turn back time to do the same.
I have a sis who lives in Napa Valley. I'll go visit her to get my Ca. "fix".
I am proud to live in California.
I don't see what is wrong with long term thinking. Why continue to put pollutants into the air? Its time to take action to reduce this. SMOG tests are good, but we need to do more.
I don't get why some people want to continue to pollute the earth (we only have one earth right now) for the sake of profit and pleasure, why not act a BIT more responsible and think a little longer term (and about people other than just yourself).

Yeah, we need to consider a californian tax.
75% of their income should go to natives for having to put up with them.
Also they should not be allowed to drive and can only live in 5 points.

while GW is a problem that they should start worrying about now........this is just another excuse for uncle sam to get more money out of us because he's spending it all overseas. And before anyone say's what the fed spends oversea's has no impact on states........think again. Very shortly cops are going to become intolerable as they're going to start handing out tickets left and right.........it's the only way they're going to be able to survive without having to make layoffs. Uncle sam has become the teenage girl that couldn't manage her credit cards and daddy finally ran out of money to subsidize her. So they only place left for the govt. to go is to FURTHER get in our pockets. We need to overthrow our govt..........forcibly if need be. They've run away with shit and expect us to bail them out when we're about to hit a major recession.

i am in a transportation tech. and policy program and a lot of the work we do and material cover involves GHG emissions and a lil bit of global warming as well. It is interesting because nobody agrees on the extent of the man-made contribution to global warming; we have some profs who swear that CO2 is the antichrist, and others who think that water vapor (completely natural) accounts for 99% of the greenhouse effect (and laugh at the other profs.) I am honestly torn as to how bad transportation really is for the climate; but i do know that nobody knows for sure and that scientists continue to make good points on both sides of the argument. I think the issue definitely still needs to be studied more, but i get upset when people just instantly dismiss global warming as a hoax and mock people who consider it a possibility, because i know that they haven't seen all the evidence, and i know that they don't have real proof either.
I do beleive that global temperatures are trending upwards overall though

Global warming was never "debunked" there isn't really much to debunk.
Also there is a difference between global warming and pollution/destruction of the environment. Some people lump them together becuse certain emissions directly lead to the warming of the planet, but even if global warming was not an issue, I am still in favor of restricting the amount of pollution people can put into our water, air, and land.

And vice versa. The general issue I have with global warming is that all the parties which are using the atmosphere as their dumping ground want everyone to believe there is no penalty for their actions. So they pay scientists to take up their position. It becomes even worse when municipalities and gov't spend billions trying to research or fund research on a topic and pass off those costs to people who are already having trouble making ends meet.

this is the budget for BC highlights
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/02/19/bc-provincial-budget.html
"As part of the new tax plan, carbon-based fuels — including gasoline, diesel, natural gas, propane, coal and home heating fuel — will be taxed at $10 per tonne of greenhouse gases generated, starting July 1, 2008."
That will translate into a new 2.4 cents per litre tax on gasoline at the pump and 2.8 cents per litre for home heating fuel. (about 9 cents per US gallon)
The carbon tax rate will rise by $5 a year for the next four years, until it hits $30 per tonne of greenhouse gas generated in 2012, said Taylor.
