If you have any doubt, this video is worth watching in entirety. In 2020, ten years after this video was made, California is not doomed, it's just making some bad choices. Thanks to the history of our alliances in the east + long-term relationships south of the border, we should continue to grow- hopefully gradually. I appreciate the speaker's liberal view, even tho' I am nowhere near being liberal myself- I find myself in odd agreement with a good deal of what he says.

Beyond what "we know" to be now and in the future, I can also say that in many respects I could see where he might be right about aspects of the future. I wish Californians will watch this video, even tho' it is 10 years old- very interesting.
