By Samuel Strait – Reporter at Large – May 10, 2022 It seems that everything that the "empty suit" Gavin Newsom does now days is somehow attached to his obsession with "Climate". In a new announcement, our beloved Hair Gel has announced a "public-private partnership" to spend more taxpayer dollars in an effort to appear to check all the boxes of issues that he has failed miserably at solving. California will now become involved in creating "workforce development programs" focused on good paying careers in climate, public health, and other "jobs of the future". These programs are meant to focus on disadvantaged communities, say homeless, the poverty strickened and any other victumhood that can be attached to it. Hair Gel goes on to say that he has roped a couple of nonprofits, High Road Construction Careers and Jobs for the Future into sharing $18 of their investment with $562 million of the State's California Workforce Development Board's budget allotment to fund training for workers in construction, forestry, agriculture, hospitality, public transportation, public utilities, health care, trade, and logistics with a decided slant on these jobs being beneficial to the "growing need for the State to address Climate Change". This current basket of funding is supposed to , in Newsom's words, "build a workforce of the future to create a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous California". Well, maybe the prosperous might be a stretch, but he goes on to wax elegant about"public-private partnerships like these are critical to achieving our shared goals as a state." Then more word salad about "all hands on deck" to create workers with the training and education that prioritizes these "new" jobs to fashion a "more sustainable and resilient future for all Californians". Sounds more like a stump speech than anything that remotely resembles solving some sort of employment issue with the impoverished or the homeless. Then the heart of the spending is revealed in a statement by one of the aforementioned nonprofits, where "broad-based income inequality, climate threats, climate resiliency, and economic inclusion" is the name of the game. Another virtue signaling pronouncement in the holy grail score card of being progressively "woke". More millions spent for equity, inclusive regional economies alongside climate resilience and environmental protections. Gag me with a fork. The Governor doesn't appear to have anything else in his bag of leftist pandering. Newsom no longer even pretends to be anything other than a political hack, bankrupt of any notion for what will make things better for all Californians. It is an endless prattling of progressive garbage that has done nothing to quell even the slightest of issues in this State. Climate Change, homelessness, health disparities, and preservation of natural resources roll off his lips like the ultimate version of a vaccine to solve all the world's problems. Unfortunately this is nothing new for Newsom, as we have heard all the supposed "virtues" in an endless stream since he first stepped into the Governor's office. Nothing changes, more money spent, and the issues remain to be solved. This latest effort, like all previously inane announcements, do nothing more than make Newsom's efforts to throw mud at the wall in hopes something will stick, will likely crash and burn like so many of his "State Changing" policies and expenditures. The only problem with his naivety is that hard working Californians are having a difficult time paying for his extravaganzas. As more of the state's citizens head to the exits, large populations of the needy are filling the ranks of those that formerly contributed their tax dollars to this dystopian world that makes little sense. Hopefully, those that voted to retain Newsom are enjoying the emptying of their pockets, as it is something they richly deserve. Democrats like Newsom have created third world cities in abundance in this Country, and Newsom is vying with other West Coast State governors to become the first governor to turn an entire state into a third world parity of success.
