Newsom walked right into the classic Fox News trifecta of 1) 'lawlessness', associated with 2) anti-business sentiment, taking place in 3) California. He could spend $20B and he won't satisfy the outrage machine (because it can't be) while destroying lives and wasting tax-payer money in the process.

Thanks Judd and Rebecca, someone has to inform Gavin Newsome about what's going on regarding this issue. I'm sure that the governor knows and hears from corporate owners and those who own high end stores, but that he's not likely to hear from the low wage workers who suffer deeply when their low wages are withheld. If WAGE THEFT in CA creates a $2 billion dollar problem, 3 times the amount caused by regular theft and organized retail theft, how can this more serious problem be addressed? I'm shuddering at the prospect of more police, more people in prison, and simply more suffering by those who have no voice.
