The problem with “bad apple” directors isn’t that they have a bad attitude, the real problem is that boards of directors exist in the first place. The longest lived companies have replaced nearly all human judgement with risk analysis and market analysis. In other words, statistics–and therefore computers–are much better at running companies than people. In the face of these facts, upper management’s (inclusive of boards) only possible contribution is unintentional corporate sabotage, by mistaken directives and misappropriation of finances on exorbitant payrolls.

I suppose if you add the seemingly endless recreational and educational opportunities, environmental stewardship, and the world’s best weather (at least here in Orange County), then If all of the above makes California a loser on your list, then count me among the luckiest losers on the planet!

Maybe it is because most people aren’t concerned with one of the U.S. left’s main concerns nowadays, i.e., “protecting” transgender rights.
