I get it. California used to have a successful economy. My state used
to have one too. Businesses are definitely leaving my state, and the
media suggests that it's due to high taxes, but I honestly have no
clue.

It's due to Ignorant Elitist policies that are well-known to be failures. High taxes being part of those policies.

Some people think of it as a bad word, but I don't. It's just an
economic system that in some cases benefits people equally.

Socialism has **never** benefited people equally. It claims to do so, but never does. The end result is **always** an Elite class that lives in luxury and a non-elite class that lives in poverty.

I agree, but the working class can consider themselves to be "equal." Equally getting the short end of the stick.

Law enforcement in California... the LA area especially but not only... has not done a good job at all keeping theives from targeting rail shipments. It has become so bad that the rail companies are moving their intermodal yards far away from the cities they are currently near.

Maybe the the rail companies need to secure their operations and work with law
w enfocement when needed.

Law enforcement is not the problem here.

There is not a whole lot a private company (or citizen) can do if the local
DAs won't prosecute the crimes. Taking the law into their own hands would
be illegal.

So I half-agree with you. Local LEOs may not be the problem, but the local
DA offices sure are.

In the USSR, they were called the nomenclatura. Not sure what China calls them. In the USSR, there were even certain makes/models of cars that were reserved for purchase by those who were nomenclatura and above.

DA's can only be effective if they have evidence or witnesses to work with. Theives don't leave any of that behind if they can help it.

Failing that DA's will not spend their time.

Taking the law into their own hands would be illegal.

I guess so.

So I half-agree with you. Local LEOs may not be the problem, but the local DA offices sure are.

If theives find a weakness they will exploit it. That is true in your local neighborhood as it is in the rail yards. Rail yards may be able to invest where needed to make that exploitation hard, or less valuable to thieves in their haul.

Which is why they are moving their yards out of the high-crime, low-prosecution, Democrat-controlled urban areas of CA and into the relative country side.

If they wonder off too far they might step foot into the Badlands only to be never seen again.

But remember that Alan thinks only what he's told to think. He's unable to think for himself. All evidence that goes against what he's been
told to think is "false news", or "conspiracy theory".

That's why these Ignorant Elitists disappear every so often. The
evidence that they were wrong is so strong that it can no longer be denied. So they have to go back to their masters and be told what to think.

Hence why they will deny saying something when we all have records of
them saying it.

The funny thing is that people like him have been around for literally decades on the BBSs. They will never admit that they were wrong.

LOL.

About this time last year, I traveled out west. If I had my choice of
being in the various badlands that I visited, or Los Angeles, I would prefer
to take my chances in the badlands. ;)

Since Kathy Hochul's rogue regime took over, now businesses are being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars just for breaking bank policies.

I couldn't find any info about this.

Google 'New York state banking nra unconstitutional" and I think you will
find plenty about what Aaron is talking about. The state attempted to
coerce banks and insurance companies to coerce them into not doing business with the NRA and other second ammendment support groups. The state did so by promising, among other things, to be more lenient on them, regulation wise,
if they did as asked.

The NRA won their case with the help of the ACLU.

This assumes I know what Aaron is talking about.

If someone commits fraud, they should be punished.

I understand that some question whether or not fraud was actually commited,
and it is their right to do so.
