The federal government should seize California.
And lease it to other states on very favorable terms.
It is not well understood how much Americans need cheap Disneyland vacations, California Agriculture, and … oh yeah … oil and gas refineries.

@SoldiersWhisper@JesseMock4 This was my Dad’s take. He operated with a large unit and was both highly complimentary and a little abashed. Given where things were, he found he got on well with them by simply giving them objectives and letting them worry about the details
That conclusion isn’t quite fair. Regulatory industries regulate things that are easily regulated. Corporate governance like SOX and SOC2 is created by idiots and the functionally illiterate. They shuttled everyone into their 3rd grade control schemes.
You could make a case that AI is an evolutionary response to replace this level of work.
The question then is: are we freed to solve bigger problems? Or is SOC3 on the way?

I grew up in the South. While there are social signals of division and racism, most are at the surface and disappear in human interaction.
In Chicago, New York, and LA, the racism is more real, more obvious, and nastier in general. Reevaluating with hindsight, I would say that much of it is driven by affluent and wannabe-affluent liberals.
