California since 2017 has spent more than $4 million of taxpayer money on surgical sex changes and cosmetic "gender-affirming" enhancements for 157 inmates, including 4 on death row

Yes yes, keep complaining about trans people existing. That's much simpler than thinking about why there are so many fucking prisoners for you, isn't it?

Awesome. Should probably expand it to people who aren't prisoners too though.

But that’s socialism. /s

California has like 40M people. That's ten cents per person, spread over 6 years. It's literally nothing. A road costs more to bankroll (I tried looking up a specific figure but they're all over the place).

That’s also ignoring all the other taxes California collects line from businesses/commerce

At first I thought this was good because this is actually what I want my tax dollars to go toward. But it seems like that is not what the writer of this article is saying...

Removed, California is not "World News".

World News is for things that happen OUTSIDE the United States. If we didn't make the distinction, it would be over-run with US News and Politics.
