That law still pisses me off. I heard that it got a court check because of a clause in the amendment required a 7/8ths majorty vote in both the Senate and Assembly, but I don't recall if the judge ruled to keep it or abolish it.

California can be such a great state, but sometimes we vote for the dumbest shit because companies lobbied for ads that make no sense but to the dumbest voter. The most recent set of props come to mind.

I know the courts upheld it in 2023. I haven't heard of anything changing since then.

I never understand why we keep voting for it each election, but more:

https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/11/california-propositions-election-results/

  • Voted no on rent control because of successful propaganda by landlords
  • Voted no raising the minimum wage because of successful propaganda by companies
  • Voted no on affordable housing because "muh taxes"
  • Voted no on banning prison labor, because "Hey if they went to jail, they should burn in a forest fire, paying them is icky!!"
