Dear Gov. Gav…


Listen Later

Yo dude it’s been a minute since we connected at the Balboa Cafe in our younger & wilder ass chasing, beer chugging years so thought I would drop you a few lines of friendly subjective advice while you still happen to be governor of the great state of California. 

These are obviously tough and “unprecedented” times so let me start out by saying as much as being the governor seems like a pretty cool job and all, I clearly realize the difficult position you are in and understand there is absolutely no way to please everyone. 

I also understand family ties and loyalty are some of the greatest qualities a man can ever possess, and although I fundamentally disagree with just about everything you and your people stand for, I commend your long time commitment to the San Francisco Elitist...

That said, I realize this may be tough to comprehend based on our current political environment, but this nation was actually founded on basic principles and civil liberties that have been the cornerstone of the republic since George Washington and the Continental Army sent the redcoats packing at Yorktown in 1781. 

As a matter of fact, it was that B.A.M.F (badass mother fucker) George himself that fired the first bullet from the front lines of the final Revolutionary War battle.  

It was a different time back then though, nothing was ever GIVEN and leaders actually had to get onto the battlefield and into the fight to EARN their political stripes. 

Speaking of front lines, while this state has been at war against a virus, it’s been AWESOME to see all of the people on the front lines step up and risk their well being for the greater good of humanity.  Hospital workers, firefighters, police officers and so many others have in many ways confirmed my faith in the fabric of the American people and my gratitude is infinite. 

I am definitely not ignorant to the magnitude of the virus’s harmful and devastating effects.  I know countless people who have attracted the virus and a college roommate of mine passed away with Covid.  

The battle is real, very REAL..  

The solution on the other hand is a bit more complex and how to best navigate our current world is still virtually unknown and highly debated.  

I get it... This is a “PlumpJacked” uptime because we simply don’t know the right plan of attack.  California has received more PPP loans and more PPP money than any other state, yet our businesses keep closing in record numbers. 

We have also been the most aggressive state when it has come to unconstitutional lockdown orders but somehow just last week we clock in with the highest number of daily Covid cases ever tallied in the United States… 

WTF ?‍♂️

Unfortunately, I don’t know what the best way to move forward is but there are a couple of things I do know that might be able to guide our path a bit… 

Time is the most precious resource any of us will ever possess. 
We all will die. 

One reason why I am so humbled and proud to be an American is because we have the freedom to choose how we want to spend our time while we are still blessed to be on this earth and living in this country.  

Put simply, state imposed mandated widespread lockdowns and stay at home orders are not only ineffective, but they are illegal and are also robbing so many people of the greatest right we will ever hold as human beings... The right to freely LIVE OUR LIVES. 

Taking away a business’s right to safely operate under protocol or a child’s right to in person education and outside play has devastated local economies and has literally taken LIFE away from our children.  

We officially now are in an entirely new fight against a virus that wasn’t created in a lab in Wuhan,
