America's most conservative state has run its own bank since 1919, turned a profit every single year for 107 years, and never defaulted once, which leaves the most reliable financial institution in the country owned by the people who hate government most.

Cops Continually See #DeadPeople In 'People's Park" ...

Another body found
in #Berkeley's "#PeoplesPark", this Tuesday a man in 30's died where tents remain in wet winter weather despite #UniversityofCalifornia's long stated but stalled desire to #redevelop site for much needed #Housing .

Rabid opposition from fans of the longtime #homeless camp and #PublicDrugUse mecca stopped #construction crews on the edu's economically invaluable eyesore campus lot numerous times over past decades.
