nice. beyond the medical advances now in the offing, if anything I like the idea of an influx of employment opportunities here in CA that other states sadly just lost out on.

I didn't know you were fluent in doublespeak.

So... Publicly funding research = influx of employment opportunities

That's like saying:

Military Deployment = open ended travel possibility's with cultural exchange opportunities

I'm not keen on the government funding of it and don't really hold high expectations for it being the panacea they hope.

Nor do I think it will ever prove to be a net financial positive for California that it has been sold as (it isn't like California is an an employment crisis and the people employed by these projects are not the ones who have difficulty finding work).

I also don't approve of the initiative process that brought this entity into existence.

But it is a moral decision that was made through the democratic process so I agree with letting it go forward. Even if it is likely a boondoggle.
