Political leaders in New York and California are pulling out all the stops in an try and lure individuals again to their destroyed states.
The query is, will any of their progressive incentives work?
This week, Gov. Kathy Hochul introduced that each one new autos bought in New York will must be zero-emission fashions starting in 2035.
I wager all the individuals who fled from New York through the lockdowns really feel silly now. They will all be begging to return to the Empire State as soon as they hear about Hochul’s formidable 12-year plan.
“We had to wait for California to take a step because there’s some federal requirements that California had to go first,” she admitted.
In late August, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proudly touted the state’s vote to ban the sale of recent gasoline engine autos by 2035.
Hochul added, “That’s the only time we’re letting them go first.”
But to this point, it seems to be like New York is destined to play catch-up in relation to rolling out woke insurance policies.
On Thursday, Newsom signed a bit of gender-transition laws which might enable out-of-state youngsters to obtain “gender-affirming” well being care in California with out the consent of their mother and father.
The media wasted no time celebrating the information that California had change into the primary sanctuary state for trans youth within the nation.
However, that is removed from California’s first rodeo in relation to reaching “sanctuary” standing.
After the overturning of Roe V. Wade in June, Newsom made a degree to purchase up pro-abortion billboards in crimson states.
His message? “Need An Abortion? California is ready to help.”
That’s not all. The billboards additionally included a passage from the Gospel of Mark: “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these. -Mark 12:31”.
Uh-oh, Hochul. He means enterprise.
Andrew Cuomo’s successor has solely exploited Christianity as a way to push the COVID-19 vaccines on individuals, to this point.
Last 12 months she advised a bunch of Christian parishioners in Brooklyn that people who find themselves not vaccinated, will not be “listening to God” and “what God wants.”
But working in faith in relation to pressured vaccinations is so passe. Hochul higher play up her piety once more if she desires to one-up Newsom’s blasphemous billboards.
While Hochul and Newsom are each attempting to woo individuals who fled their states for the likes of Georgia and Florida, their ways are noticeably completely different.
Hochul appears to be on the defensive and has a tough time hiding the truth that Gov. Ron DeSantis resides rent-free in her head.
In early August, at a ceremony for a Holocaust training invoice, she begged the viewers members to remain in her progressive paradise.
“Don’t go anywhere else,” she advised the group. “Florida’s overrated.” Her ramblings continued and she or he blurted out, ”I shouldn’t say this, however have a look at the governor. It begins on the high down.”
Here’s a tip Kathy: Maybe it is best to spend much less time worrying about Florida and extra time worrying about Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s disastrous bail reform insurance policies. Just a thought!
On the opposite hand, Newsom has taken a much more aggressive strategy.
In August, he positioned an advert in Variety by which he defined to “those in power” in Hollywood why they need to do enterprise within the Golden State moderately than Georgia or Oklahoma.
The most essential cause? “We share your values. So now it’s time to choose.” The threatening advert was an odd mixture of each sanctimony and hostility. Come again to our woke wonderland … or else. How attractive!
The most elite politicians in California and New York will proceed to lose residents to different, much less insane states. What these leaders lack in widespread sense, they make up for in ego.
Narcissistic politicians like Kathy Hochul and Gavin Newsom are extra involved with checking off their woke to-do lists than they’re with saving their struggling states. Perhaps they lack the self-awareness essential to take inventory of how their woke agendas are hurting their constituents. Or perhaps it’s worse. Maybe they only don’t care.
Which self-important, tone-deaf governor will drive individuals out quicker? Only time will inform.
