      It’s a closer to one than Louisiana, though.

          Even so, the comparison is unfavorable to Louisiana, not California.

                    Some fun facts about Louisiana:

                    Unemployment is higher than the national average and wages are lower than the national average.

                    Nineteen percent of the population lives below the poverty level, and that is second only to Mississippi.

                    Only around 20 percent of students perform at an acceptable level on standardized tests.

                    Louisiana has the highest murder rate in the nation at 12.4 per 100,000 people, far above No.2 Missouri at 9.8.

                    Louisiana is ranked 49th out of 50 states as far as job and economic opportunities.

      We’re not in the dystopian future yet I was describing. We’re at possibly the middle point between what was, and what will be. The “what will be” would be when that utopia exists.

        • As someone who has lived all over the country, the drug problem in California is not worse than anywhere else. The worst I have seen was in the south and the Midwest. It’s straight meth country all over the US.
