Newsom treats capitalists like vampires treat garlic. He wants their money, but he hates their existence. And when Lemonis pulled the plug, Newsom lost it.

California’s economy is Hollywood with a calculator. Spend first, make excuses later, then demand a bailout. Look at Colbert — a weak product, bloated ego, endless funding. That’s California in a nutshell. And it’s no accident. They don’t care about profitability. They care about applause.
