You know, I had a lot of clients in LA that also kind of either went bankrupt or had to move out of the state or got bought out or got bank owned. I mean, I've just seen this happen. We actually had a group chat where we would just say every week, we're like, hey, this business just shut down.
SourceOh, this place just shut down. You know, and we're watching this happen. So, you know, for being, you know, myself, friends, and people around me in my circles, none of us were political ever.
You know, we were just living the life in Los Angeles, in Hollywood, and we started to see this happen, and that's when we started to pay attention to what's going on.
So, you know, to what Hilton was saying, you know, yeah, we do want to see drastic change, and I think Mark and you were talking about being a centrist, and I love that. I love your message.
But whoever becomes governor is inheriting a shit show. Excuse my language. I mean, there's just, I don't know how to describe it, but Newsom really destroyed the state and our cities, and it's going to take a lot, a lot of work to correct this and to help fix this, and it's not going to happen under one term.
But we really do need somebody who's aware, who's strong, who's willing to take on this effort. But at the same time, I also want to see accountability. You know, I don't want to just say, oh, okay, well, you know, Newsom and these guys, let's move on and rebuild.
No. We want to rebuild. We want to fix.
But we also have to hold people accountable. Like Steph was saying, we're seeing all this money just disappear, go nowhere. No accountability.
