I shared two columns of California-themed humor in 2022 (here and here), but none in 2023.
For a 2024 version, let’s start with this Babylon Bee video.
Since we started with a video about people escaping to Texas from California, here’s another example of refugees fleeing the state.
In this case, it’s the Beverly Hillbillies heading to Tennessee, which has no income tax (just like Texas).
Since Texas is a very popular landing spot for California refugees, that creates profitable opportunities.
Which leads us to our third item.
Next we have a cartoon that presumably was motivated by some of California’s bizarre environmental policies (such as preventing the clearance of underbrush, thus increasing the risk of dangerous fires).
But if you ignore the sign in the lower-right of the cartoon, it’s a general indictment of California’s bad policies.
I’ve saved the best for last, as usual.
Here’s a screenshot of the headline fro a Babylon Bee story about the big contract that Shohei Ohtani received when signing with the Dodgers.
But the reason this is my favorite is that Ohtani actually signed a contract that will keep an extra $100 million in his pockets.
Not the greatest-ever act of tax avoidance, or the most licentious, but what he did probably ranks in the top 10.
Maybe he learned from Trump and Biden?
