  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

That's a thing alright... But also not a thing... I have punched cows with fellers from down in the Sierras.
Rednecks are rednecks, even in California. Them kind fit in here just fine.
Yep. (Real) country folks are awful similar, no matter where they are from.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

When you move to Montana, just don't let anyone there know you're from Cali.
That's a little farther North than we're currently looking, and thanks for the advice.

But I daresay, I'd have to remove the tags from the car we're driving or get a rental to not give it away.  :whistle:

If they could run generators on bullshit we'd have it made, there is an unlimited supply in Sacramento. Who'd a thunk it, California has socialist democrat control that foists green energy upon the taxpayer while eliminating nuclear and NG power generation, no meaningful improvements to the power grid all the while pushing EV's. But wait that's not all! Instead of building and filling reservoirs to insure the supply of water to residents in the midst of periodic droughts socialist demorcrats opted to waste billions of taxpayer dollars on a boondoggle to glorify Governor Moonbeam, a bullet train to nowhere. And in the middle of all this is the democrats hammering the weak grid and dwindling water supply even more with the traffic (with their aid and approval) of hundreds of thousands of illegals to the state lavishing them with food, housing, cash and MediCal, all on the backs of the taxpayer.

Personally I wouldn't be to upset to see a massive quake flatten from north of the O.C. line to north of SanFranshitco. At the very least Sacramento when the Pelosi and all the rest were there.

Just do what people do here in Georgia.  Write "LOST TAG" on a piece of cardboard and tape it to your bumper.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I hope the Arizona environment has been better for you and your company... :0001:

It's parts shortages that are killing us right now. Xilinx FPGA orders that were supposed to be delivered now have been delayed indefinitely. Quotes are 52+ weeks with no real date provided... What parts you can find went from $50 a part to $700+ and are all overseas. You send cash and hope they send real parts... Generally, you have to build the assembly to find out. It's a nightmare.

Another issue is the quality of the parts after the fab houses shut down and then starting up again is poor. They don't seem to have things dialed in yet. We've gotten reels of bad ICs and lots of unexpected failures. These are on parts made by normally quality manufacturers like Analog Devices and NEC which wasn't expected.

Can't ship product if you can't build it. And the cost and pain of building things has gone up dramatically.

I don't know if we'll survive the year.
