1. La Paradoja Económica: Riqueza Global y Pobreza Nacional.
California es frecuentemente citada como la cuarta economía más grande del mundo, superando a naciones como Japón. Sin embargo, esta riqueza coexiste con la tasa de pobreza más alta de EE. UU. (a menudo empatada con Luisiana) cuando se ajusta por el costo de vida (Supplemental Poverty Measure - SPM).
- Californias poverty rate was 17.7 in 2024, tied with louisiana for the highest in the united states. Not good for the biggest economy in the us.
- California is now the 4th largest economy in the world because of governor newsom! yay! yep. Its also 1 in poverty rate, 3 in unemployment, cost of living is 50 higher than nat. Avg., housing is 116 higher.
- California has the highest poverty rate of any us state california boasts more billionaire residents than any other state life in the usa.
- California leads the nation in poverty. New data shows 17.7 of californians nearly 7 million people live in poverty. Child poverty has doubled.
2. El Impacto del Costo de Vida y la Crisis de Vivienda.
La principal razón detrás de la alta tasa de pobreza de California es el costo de vida astronómico, especialmente el de la vivienda. El uso de la Medida Suplementaria de Pobreza (SPM), que considera estos costos, revela que millones de californianos, incluidos trabajadores a tiempo completo, luchan por cubrir sus necesidades básicas.
- Californias high living costs and high poverty sharpen its economic divide smdp.comopinioncali.
- California consistently holds the title of having the highest poverty rate in the us. 5 million californians were under the cpm poverty line on average 39,900 yearly for a family of two adults and two children.
- If californias rental prices matched the national average, its poverty rate would fall from the highest in the nation to near the u.s. Average.
- The bar to living above the poverty line is so high in the bay area that people drive hours in from surrounding areas.
- Half of all people living in poverty in the bay area are in families with at least one full-time, year-round worker.
3. Críticas a Gavin Newsom: Criminalización y Desigualdad.
El Gobernador Gavin Newsom es objeto de fuertes críticas por su manejo de la crisis. Se le acusa de priorizar la imagen económica del estado mientras implementa políticas que criminalizan la pobreza y la falta de vivienda, y de proponer recortes que afectan a los más vulnerables, como los límites de activos para Medi-Cal.
- Criminalizing poverty. The 4th richest economy in the world cant afford to give every homeless person a home and the treatment they need? shame on newsom.
- Newsom is scum. Limiting assets the poor may own is a recipe for perpetual poverty, since they cant save up for education, cant own a decent car to get to work, cant basically do anything but tread water in perpetual debt.
- I will never forgive newsom for criminalizing poverty and being unhoused.
- The governor has reinstated the medi-cal asset limit for disabled adults and seniors, demanding extreme poverty to access critical health care.
- He vetoed bills that would have protected vulnerable trans people and pushed for state and local lawmakers to criminalize poverty.
