Technology To Save Lives. How Much Would You Squawk

And again, the OP is not domiciles in California and is thus not entitled to a CA license nor to register vehicles there.

I do not understand why he/she is upset.

4X4van,

Thank you. My wallet can relax.

Just to get this thread back to the OP's original opening suggestion...there is no pending legislation (even in CA) for requiring breathalyzers on all vehicles.

We have a friend in his mid-70's. All he has is disability income, a used but good condition pickup, and furniture his friends give him ... including a large screen TV.

He lives a in beautiful new apartment on the first floor of a new building with green grass and trees around it. It's located in a great place - weatherwise and otherwise - just south of Santa Cruz, CA, and inland only about a mile from the coast. It's within walking distance to groceries, fast foods, etc.. He just had knee replacement surgery at Stanford Hospital ... probably(?) at no cost to him whatsoever.

HIs particular apartment has a real low controlled rent due to a county (or state?) program designated for those on low fixed incomes.

Mexico is not necessary to live well on a nickle or dime. It can be done in other places ... even good old terrible California (whether you spell it with a "C" or a "K").

Gotta ask. If you are not domiciled in CA you can not (legally) obtain a Driver's License there, correct?

Wow, maybe California isn't the place for you since you have nothing but problems with it. Maybe you need to move elsewhere and no longer depends on California for your needs. We have no such issues here in Missouri, but we don't have beaches and mountains either. You pays yer money and you takes yer cherces.

Wuwee, the undocumented do not decide where public taxes are spent. The legislators do.

The answer above is a great illustration of the warping of perception of reality. Why legislation attempts utterly fail to realize goals. Come. Sit with me in a healthcare waiting room. The last visit was me, and nine expectant mothers who I could only converse with in Spanish. A 2:00 appointment? Promptly, at 2:36 I was called. The six minute "I have other patients waiting" visit had the harried doctor forgetting to FAX four of my 24-font written listed medications. Three of which where cardiac medicines. THIS has become "the norm" It was too late to call the doctor from the pharmacy.


Why is a two thousand dollar machine is being "looked at" in an attempt to augment public safety? Tackle the abstract not the reality?

With Dystopian mentality the absurd becomes the normal and normal becomes undesirable. Favorite people-points to champion are the broad swath known as "victims".

The only problem is, the cure is far worse than the malady. If a point of contention clearly urges a particular course of action, it therefore (to legislative0 is not usable.

If anyone knows of a place in California that hosts dwellings fit for a social security budget please yell and scream...

The silence is deafening...

You certainly do have issues.

No offense, but that sounds a lot more like the choice you made for living in Mexico not a failure of California or the fault of the undocumented.

/My chair neighbor said he had am 11:10 appointment, it was then 1:25PM
California wants to spend tens of millions of dollars to shield undocumented immigrants. Read tens of millions of dollars PER LARGE CITY.

Additional government offices to LESSEN THE MAN HOUR WASTE of a thousand people waiting hours for service? You MUST be joking. I telephoned AUGUST 21 for an appointment. First one? October 11, at 0930. That means I would have to start driving at 0430 in Mexico. A border crossing can take anywhere from an hour and a half to four hours.

Now that I know my next doctor appointment is on 9 Oct. I can get an appointment for sometime in December*. My next cardiologist appt is for 12:30. This means departing at 0600. The closest I can come to renting a place "up there" is 25 mi east in El Cajon for 220% of my total pension check. You know, the neighborhood where bars on the windows and a washing machine size burglar alarm bell on the side of the house is standard operating procedure. By the way that price is for a third floor unfurnished appt.

When I arrived, the line stretching Outside the doors was so long I lost count at eighty something. When I was directed indoors the only reason I got a seat was because of my crutches.

Money for undocumented immigrants. Something like 200 million and counting...

*nothing after 11:00AM
