After all the $$$ spent - Why does California have the highest poverty rate?

[Sam Odom]

Newly released federal estimates show California’s poverty rate remained the highest in the nation, despite a modest fall, and the state’s falling uninsured rate slowed for the first time since before Medicaid expansion.

Socialism only works in a homogenized society (Den, Swe, Swz)

Add multi cultural issues and values and you wind up a beautiful idea only accessible to a few

There has never been a case in history where communists didn't turn the place they run into a shithole eventually.

It's because in the bay area, if you make $100K for a salary (like me) you are technically poor. Can't afford a 1 bedroom apartment on that kind of salary.
