To the editor: I doubt the Chapman College researchers whose gloomy report on the California financial system Joel Kotkin writes about in an op-ed article have spent a lot time on our blue-collar streets or speaking to the enterprise homeowners there. They could be instructed should you can’t discover a job (or begin a enterprise like a meals truck) in California, you possibly can’t do it wherever.
The small producers for which I labored and offered items for 40 years in Southern California didn’t whine about laws or social points. They had been extra frightened about uncooked materials costs and supply and how you can develop their companies. They didn’t have federal subsidies like Tesla, nor did they fret about shareholder battles over fattening quarterly income as Boeing and others who largely left California have.
The Chapman literati ought to climb down from their heights and choose up a few of their trash as they go.

To the editor: Wait — what?
Did this text simply state, “Over the past decade… the common annual pay for these authorities jobs was nearly double that of personal sector jobs”?
This sounds horribly unfair to the common taxpaying private-sector employee. Seems like one thing The Instances would possibly need to examine.
