We've written here about the way poisonous politics have hamstrung Argentina, a country that based on resources should have it all, but doesn't. My native state, California, seems to be heading in the same direction.
In so many ways California could be said to have it all: great scenery, mild weather, coastal location with seaports, rich agriculture, world-class universities, even oil. And yet, the politicians in Sacramento, the capital, seem to be disfunctional, not unlike those of Argentina.
How sad that a place with so much to offer is so screwed up. Join me for a chorus of "I'll cry for thee, California" (sung to the tune of "Don't cry for me, Argentina," from Evita).
