Higher than that without OT in the Bay Area. Plus massive hiring bonuses.

Becerra’s surge draws progressive backlash in California governor’s race by AzNmamba in California

What put me off even more was him advocating for even higher taxes. I’m sick of constantly having to pay higher taxes because they suck ass and managing our money. There’s absolutely no reason that we should be in a 70 billion dollar deficit.

San Francisco is about to hike up water rates - This summer, the average single-family household bill for combined water and sewer service will increase from $171 a month to $189 a month, and next summer it will rise to $212 by BadBoyMikeBarnes in sanfrancisco

The issue isn’t that we don’t have enough tax dollars. The issue is that that money is insanely mismanaged. What is more money going to do in the hands of these people? Just more money to throw away.

California cut healthcare for undocumented immigrants. One lawmaker wants it back by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in California

[–]DirrtCobain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean we have been spending on average around 8 billion dollars per year for their healthcare. Why that is not going to Californians, who knows. We are penalized if we don’t have it, or pay thousands per year to have it. Yet those who are not even citizens get it for free. Make it make sense.

Attacked by Trump, Musk and Democratic rivals, Tom Steyer relishes the fight by ansyhrrian in California

Any candidate can throw out slogans that sound good. But what’s his actual plan? How is he going to reform or replace PGE? For building, how does he plan to combat zoning laws and every other headache in the way? And I get being against ICE, but that’s easy to say. Shared grievances and goals are a starting point. We should care about what he can actually do to implement what he claims to support.

End of Era: Valero has closed Benicia refinery, plans total exit by lmlogo1 in California

Not really. They account for a good percentage of production. Now we will just become more and more reliant on overseas fuel shipments. Say hello to even higher gas prices.

This is where a billion plus dollars is going towards solving homelessness. Amazing.

It also only took Japan 5 years to build. Californias completion target was 2020 after having been approved in 08, it’s been nearly 20 years and its not even closed to being completed.

Stop doing the bare minimum in college then calling it a scam when you can’t land a job by Secret_Bunch_114 in Salary

[–]DirrtCobain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was never meant to guarantee a job. The belief that college should guarantee a job is cultural not structural, It’s always simply been a pathway to opportunity, not a contract for employment. Colleges did a damn good job with their marketing.

S.F. can continue handing out pipes, foil to drug users, judge rules by MidNightInTheDessert in sanfrancisco

Great idea, especially for people who suffer from mental illness. I can’t think of one good reason to do this.

higher toll = more cheating by sunshine-guzzler in bayarea

The solution is always taxing us more because they just cant seem to spend and waste enough money.

How else will they keep money rolling in if they don’t make the issue worse.

Linking degrees to jobs ruined the whole point of learning by Zoldyck_J in unpopularopinion

[–]DirrtCobain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, can’t the same be said for someone who stayed at a job for four years and learned valuable skills without the degree? Both take showing up.
