Probably because CA politicians want to spend tax money on things like providing $150k of housing loans to undocumented migrants
Losing out on a house bid as an American citizen to an undocumented migrant thanks to this policy, truly the type of stuff only a CA politician could come up with.
"healthcare, education, housing, and food were secured for all."
Ah yes all of this provided to you by Big Government, who can at a whim withdraw these services if you are found to engage in WrongThink.
We already have seen Western governments like Canada financially banning grandmothers who donated to a trucker protest or the UK imprisoning people for tweets.
Do you really want a bunch of DC politicians to have the power of life and death, not to mention access to swaths of capital that they will inevitably use to engorge and enrich themselves?
Your 600k in taxes will go into the pockets of various interest groups that markup their goods and services because they know Uncle Sam will foot the bill.

I haven't updated this in years but this was my attempt at building a real time personal dashboard, connecting various API's and components.
Was pretty helpful for me, basically acted as a heads up display that I could look at to track my stats over the day (steps, meditation, focus time, etc.)
Wages are suppressed because it's _legal enough_ to suppress them
I'm not an Amazon defender by any means, but doesn't Amazon pay the best in terms of comparable work which is why the warehouse jobs are so competitive to get? Or is that just Amazon PR to stave off regulations
Redirecting blame is a lot easier when you have an external party. More interestingly though is it forces a conversation/decision on a particular problem, since you’ve already spent exorbitant sum of money on the consulting fees.
”Bringing in consultants is, among other ways, a way to bring in people who can get shit done, moving bricks at lower levels of the org with the political mandate of the top”
It seems more likely that it’s a politically expedient way to get cover for a decision (in other words CYA insurance). If the plan fails, blame the consultants. If it works, take credit for having brought them in. It also puts more pressure on exec to make a decision (we just spent $10M on this strategy plan, are we really going to it on it?). It’s genius, if it didn’t highlight the utter dysfunction of a firm.
McKinsey scandals also aren’t confined to Opiod work. It’s also been involved with Enron, corruption in Africa, peddling of mortgage backed securities during ‘07-‘08 crisis and I’m sure many more that they’ve done a great job at hiding from the public.
Policy wonks and lawyers have run America into the ground with reckless spending and forever wars.
I would venture that introducing fresh ideas and technologists with first principles thinking will yield better results.
