What's Weather Worth?

I asked this existential question on these pages a few years back.  It's time to ask it again...

Hey all you people out there in Internet-Land!  It's a balmy 62 degrees out today, January 17th, 2024.  It's sunny as all get out!  Bright blue skies, wafting cumulonimbus clouds, and a 3 - 5 mph on shore breeze!

But wait...  Crime is running rampant.  Carjackings and burglaries and muggings and shoplifting and rapes and murders have skyrocketed!  People are no longer safe on the streets of their own cities here in the once-Great State of California!  Even the Sheriff of Lost Angeles County advised his citizens not to shop in his City.  And if they must, he said, dress down, leave the Rolexes at home, and don't drive the Bentley.  Not exactly a Chamber of Commerce recommendation.  

Yeah, but it's 62 degrees out!  And sunny!  And balmy!  And you could easily freeze to death in Kansas City!  Where I'm from!  And why I moved here!  

But we now live in what's derisively called "Taxifornia."  We have the very highest tax rates in the Country.  13.3% on top of your Federal taxes.  And the highest sales tax rates.  As high as 13%.  And they're now charging a "mansion tax."  They scalp you for 5% of your house's selling price.  And don't try and leave the State with your wealth under cover of darkness!  Oh no!  They'll follow you with demands for taxes on the profit you made on the sale of your assets!  Face it!  Living in Taxifornia sucks!  

But the weather!  Did I mention it's 62 degrees out?  It may even get to 70!  And sunny?  A guy could actually get a sunburn today!  And have you checked the weather in Chicago?  Or Buffalo?  Or Denver?  Dayummm!  The weather here is fabulous!

Ummm, yeah, but how about the fact our BoyGuv Newsom just offered health insurance, for free, to every illegal alien, everywhere.  From everywhere!  Not to our own citizens, no.  Not even to our Veterans, thousands of whom are living on our streets!  Just to future Democrat illegal aliens!  This entitled bozo needs his ears boxed!

No No No No No NO!  I don't want to hear that!  The weather!  Ooooohhh!  The weather is so warmly fantastical that I almost get orgasmic!  62 degrees!  33% Relative Humidity!  A slight onshore breeze like one could expect in Kauai!  You could go surfing in the morning and snow skiing in the afternoon!  Did you know that?  Big Puffy Cumulus Clouds!  Wafting slowly across God's blue sky!  With lots of asterisks!

Did I mention you can't afford to buy a house in this Socialist Paradise?  It takes an average household income of over $121,000 a year to qualify for a home loan.  And our average home?  1,200 sq. ft., 4 bed, 3 bath, tiny rooms, 2 car garage, 5,500 sq. ft. lot, no basement.  In counties where the well-paying jobs are located, that house will set you back more than $1,200,000!  With a 30-minute 911 response time!  People are leaving in droves.  To places where they can realize the goal of home ownership.  And safety.  And it damn sure ain't here...

Oh stop that!  Have you seen the weather report?  It's like 25 below zero in Iowa!  And the looney guv of New Yawk State had to postpone the Bills-Steelers game because it was colder a their stadium than at the South Pole!  Nobody wants to live there!  Everybody wants to live here!  Except for the hundreds of thousands who are running like scared rabbits to other more friendly climes, of course.  They obviously don't appreciate the weather...

The dummmasss who runs this place seems to think that buying electricity from other states to supplement the juice made from wind and solar doesn't count; it's still a "Green Society" now.  No more gas powered cars here in a couple of years.  Whether you want to drive one or not.  Nobody asked me!  And nobody asked the 139,009,973 people who live between the Hudson River and the Sierra Nevada, either.  The people who have to drive more than 8 miles to work.  The people who actually have to WORK for a living.  Not just move pieces of paper around on a desk...

Have you checked out their weather?  It's terrible!  You have to have a completely separate wardrobe!  Big, puffy coats and hats and gloves and boots and the like!   Here you only need two pairs of shorts, 3 T-shirts and a swim suit.  They have Four Distinct Seasons!  Half of which suck!  Who wants that?

Annnnnd, BoyGuv has also proclaimed Taxifornia as the haven for abortions!  The Place to Go!  And he's invited preggers from anywhere, AT ALL, to just make their way here and he'll do the abortion.  Personally!  (Not sure about that, but probably.)  He LOVES abortions!  And my taxes are paying for it!  Whether I like it or not!  How about if it's against my religion?  BoyGuv doesn't have a religion!  His only religion is his hairdo!  He uses Brylcreem!   Remember that movie, "Escape From L.A.?"  Yeah, it's happening before our very eyes...

Blah, blah, blah!  Don't you know that the dummies who were born and raised here don't know any better than to remain here?  Like the infamous "Frog in the Pot?"  Withering away like Michael Douglas in "Falling Down?"  Just keeping on keeping on, forever stuck in this Hellhole.  Some of them will NEVER LEAVE!  And that's what BoyGuv and his minions are counting on.

Like the (in)famous blogger once asked, "What's Weather Worth?"  Only you can answer that question...
