California City Files For Bankruptcy

well I never thought i would see US citys go bankrupt

A federal judge has ruled that Stockton, California will be allowed to enter bankruptcy. The city, located near San Francisco and home to 300,000, is the largest yet in the US to file for bankruptcy, marking a new low point in a trend sweeping California.

US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Klein ruled Monday that Stockton would be allowed to begin reorganizing its debt in order to continue carrying out ?its obligations to its citizens on fundamental public safety as well as other basic government services.?

Next, city officials must win the judge?s approval for a specific adjustment plan that allows them to adjust financial debts held by Wall Street creditors who have fought Stockton?s bankruptcy claim and, in the opinion of Judge Klein, acted in bad faith.

?The creditors got a big black eye today,? attorney Karol Denniston, who helped draft bankruptcy legislation for city officials, told the Los Angeles Times. ?Now the stage is set for the real dogfight.?

I'm actually shocked this doesn't happen more often. Most cities are run by people who are not really qualified to run them so it is a wonder more of them don't end up in bankruptcy.

all the regulation involved in running a business in California has caused a lot of businesses to pack up and leave

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
