People have been saying Saudi Arabia is ridiculous, it’s going to collapse any year now. They’ve been saying that for 40 or 50 years. But you know, if you have a giant oil field you can pay for a lot of ridiculousness. I think that’s the way you have to think of California. There’s things about it that are ridiculous, but there’s something about it. It doesn’t naturally self-destruct overnight.
CA is a beautiful place with a world-beating climate and immense geographic variety, that’s their ‘oil field’ that others cannot replicate. And before the Sierra Club got a stranglehold on Sacramento, Gov. Jerry Brown’s father built the infrastructure CA still relies on. Hat tip to Stephen Green blogging at Instapundit for the link.
