The low hanging fruit would be a persistent ICE presence to detain and deport all the undocumented on these grows. Then of course come in with perhaps national guard and confiscate and burn the crops and destroy the infrastructure. This is addressable. Whether it is solvable is unclear.

Specific incinerators are typically used for such confiscations.

Why is this being allowed to continue? Does President Trump know about this?

Pot ends as a libertarian issue when you start thinking about the supply.

"...It really is another failure, under his leadership, whether he wants to own it or not.”

It really isn't. It's not a failure if it's what you planned to do all along. Gavin doesn't care about anything, except that the money spends when he tips his wait staff at The French Laundry. It's a feature, not a bug.

This reads like the dystopian plot of a crime novel-all here for a reckoning of some type soon. The collapse of any effective resistance to this system makes me think that the decision has been made with no regard for suffering humans-the communities, the workers and the users are left defenseless against pure evil.

"Lieutenant Governor Newsom, if Proposition 64 passes, the result will be massive increases in violent crime, dependency, and corruption, as well as catastrophic environmental damage."

It’s all by design. The country is beginning to resemble the set of the movie “Escape from LA.”

Call me naive, but even in Kalifornia, this seems sub-optimal.

Chinese assets are all over California.

And Hawaii, BTW. Just look at a global map. They start with the states closest to ... China.

Notice how Arizona and Nevada are now purple?

Good luck with Idaho, CCCP!

Well in this case we had definitely better trust China to regulate their AI development. I am sure it's fine.

"The governor, he thinks, is turning a blind eye to the illegal activity for political reasons."

Really? Useless newsome (doesn't deserve a capital) playing politics for money??? Say it ain't so.
