This isn't really that weird for CA, they put warning labels on everything. You can find a "Warning [whatever we're labeling] is known to the state of California to cause [some really random condition]." Parking lots, food at the grocery store, beach water, you name it, CA slaps a warning label on it.

I'm seeing a lot of people "about to be affected." More, though, I'm seeing people jump on all of the new opportunity. Of the two jobs I've seen lost, the job loser ended up with a higher paying job w/in a couple of months. It might be a recession, but it's definitely a time of high opportunity.

What if you don't like any of the third parties?
