A chunk of #CA's Hwy 1 (known as PCH [Pacific Coast Highway] for much of its length) near Big Sur collapsed Thursday, as debris from the hillside above came down during heavy rains. There were fires in the area last Summer, but the Weather Channel did not say this was a burned area.

Gov. Newsom plans to return #CA kids to in-person school in 2021. https://www.ksbw.com/article/gov-newsom-covid-19-briefing-dec-30/35098860 [www ksbw com]
This despite figures showing that children are effective vectors for the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19. I read that 85% of #2019-nCoV infections were passed from someone younger than twenty.
The little germ factories will bring it home to their families.

I'm picturing Governor Newsom's glee when I file my taxes and the state of California ( #CA ) piles on extra taxes for me not having medical insurance the entire year. (NOTE: I had no income other than unemployment insurance, but I've seen no indication that the state will suspend or revoke it.)

The “auto warranty” spam robocallers are back in action. Until a couple of weeks ago, it had been months.
Today, they were spoofing a #SoCal number from Long Beach ( #CA ); area code 562.
I know AT&T can usually identify them as “potential spam / scam”, but this call was not so identified.

According to a commentator on Politico, #CA Prop 16 is going down in flames. This would repeal prop 209 and allow state and local government and educational institutions to once again use ancestry / race and sex / gender in hiring and admissions decisions. Proponents painted it as affirmative action needed to right historic wrongs. Opponents painted it as enabling racism.

#CA state senate bill tries to stop garment industry wage theft. https://nu.federati.net/url/277125 [www latimes com]
I think one thing that could help is to treat wage theft as a serious crime on the same level as bank robbery. Get cross-agency task forces and strike teams to arrest and prosecute the ringleaders and send them to decades-long prison sentences. Take the proceeds of their theft and use them to reimburse their victims with interest.

Why is it that I can find salt-free potato chips in #MO, but not in #CA? I thought California was supposed to be the land of healthy diets.

There have been over 100 #earthquake s near Westmoreland, #CA, in the last few days. They have all been small. (Less than M.5.0.)

Several years ago, I was in a hotel near there when an earthquake left hairline cracks in the walls.

#CA #EDD unemployment benefits must be quite a bit higher than some other states. (That $20K number must be over the entire claim and extension.)

I have a dim memory of a forestry management intentional burn that escaped to become a destructive fire. It could have been the turning point in the way forests are managed in #CA.

Thinking about the link @geniusmusing posted about prisoner firefighters now being eligible for post-release employment ... #CA also has or had a program called the California Conservation Corps, which trained young twenty-somethings for wildland firefighting. I don't know what the hiring process is like, but I imagine mom and dad will wuickly tell them to go work at McDonald's instead of waiting for the governmental hiring process to complete.
