WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Upper image of nation shows Cali as similar to North Korea.
Video looks like a war zone. A total burn out of L.A. would certainly clean up the homeless camps. I wonder where the homeless would move to next-
I don’t think the top picture is accurate. California has the same color as the ocean. The military bases near San Diego would not be blacked out. If California looked liked northern Nevada or Baja California I might believe it.
Probably be a good idea to start thinking about doing those overdue water infrastructure improvements right about now.
Was Deckard a replicant?

BR dystopian LA was better than the actual LA. At least they were welling gas!
