It seems to me that Trump's business acumen lies in marketing, showbiz, and real estate. When it comes to actually pioneering stuff, someone like Elon Musk has Trump beat by light years.

You're the one living in drought-ridden Cali—what are you going to do??? You're more than welcome to come live with Quanchi and I in our mother's basement in exchange for the occasional cup of coffee .

We're not in a drought anymore... There's also a slew of desalination plants being built. But if it makes you feel better, I live within 8miles of the pacific coast.

I would only be interested in the Bay Area. And that's only if I got a kick-ass software developer job at Qualicomm or something. Even then, a high-salary would be negated by the ridiculous taxes and cost of living. Plus I wouldn't be able to own a panther-body with all of the ridiculous emissions restrictions and BS; not to mention rush hour traffic and city parking in a V8

Easy, buddy, slow your roll. I live in the Bay Area and Qualcomm in not here, that's way down in San Diego.
You have this weird notion that everyone here drives a Prius which run on farts. Not the case. While California has the highest emissions standards in the US (and this is a good thing), basically all cars meet those standards. There's plenty of cars from 1975 and upwards still on the road, as they're grandfathered to emissions standards of their specific era. ie a 1987 car doesn't have to meet the same emissions standards of a 2017 car. The tests are even different. eg Before I got ride of my 1997 Montero (I regret doing so), the last smog check it had was still an old fashioned tailpipe "sniffer", none of the real-road testing via dyno modern cars need to pass today in California.
