What precautions, if any, should California continue to take to cope with COVID-19 and its variants?

Biological warfare was committed, this virus will be around with or without heard immunity, we can only adapt and overcome personally and bring accountability to those who let this. Greater oversight of all those in government who allowed this to happen, by accident or purpose, CDC forgot their P so why was prevention not used in the first place?

California provided cash support to individuals and small businesses during the pandemic. To what extent should that assistance continue?

It should have never been issued in the first place as was this lock down order, the lock down was manufactured as was this virus. When the State says we’re giving you free relief remember they are paying you your money, remember Biological warfare is 1% bug and 99% thug. Hydroxychloroquine? Doctors choice of treatments? Patient’s choice of treatment? None of these items were ever explored. why was that?

What more would you do to address California’s housing crisis?

Without correcting the corruption within our halls of power all the problems, crisis’s and hardships have been manufactured for our consumption. Housing crisis? would that be a poor choice crisis? The ebb and flow of all commodities is politically and market driven. Including the housing market ... and when did they start making more land?

What should California do to build up its middle class?

Enforce the law and constitutions of California and the US upon those in governance, polices that usurped the law and Constitution provoked the middle class and business to vacate.

Would you propose any new policies to address climate change?

The climate will always be in a state of change. ( ask the Native Americans or others around the world). Personally I am still awaiting Carter’s Ice Age, and for fuel to become nonexistent . The State can only encourage citizens to be good stewards of their cities. They have failed this miserably for many years

What should California do in the long term to address wildfire and drought conditions?

Remove policies and those in the legislature who fail to provide a water collection sources and return forest husbandry (campaign contributions to those with conflict of interest in those areas needs to be investigated). PG&E and Conservation money in someone’s back pocket.
