its really interesting since the main point made is the state is too 'political' and 'democratic' which hinders progress and and any effort to fix the budget

Government is inherently unable to fix budget deficits. Doing so would call for the destruction of itself in one way, shape or form.

we gotta get you to hit the gym after work joe

I know. I need to start working out. But I need to get my knee and heel fixed first. I think I might have sprained my ACL. And my heel pains if I put too much pressure on it. Can't work out before fixing that first.

The state is unmanageable, made all the worse by a proposition process that has allowed voters to hog tie budget appropriations to the pet issue of the year which everyone forgets the following year, but is yet still beholden to. It's madness. I thought voter propositions were a good idea until I saw how it made budgeting so arbitrary and organic in this state.

Another example: the SF mayoral candidate was telling us how when the city has a 10% budget shortfall, every department gets a 10% budget reduction quota. Sounds sensible in theory, but budgets don't work like that.

You mean people in the SF government don't understand basic mathS?

Shocker.

More like if you have the budget to purchase a new replacement police car for your precinct, 90% of a car is really still 0% of a car.
