Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

Gavin Newsom put out a Top 10 list: “Ten Ways California Leads the Nation.” Some are vague, like “belonging and unity.” Others are farcical, like "high-speed rail." And there are several key omissions from the list: -homelessness (1 out of 50) -poverty (1 out of 50) -Retail crime (1 out of 50) -Anti-business regulations (1 out of 50) -frivolous lawsuits (1 out of 50) -unemployment (1 out of 50) -wage stagnation (1 out of 50) -restrictions on workers (1 out of 50) -gas prices (1 out of 50) -housing costs (2 out of 50) -water bills (2 out of 50) -energy/electricity costs (3 out of 50) -inequality (3 out of 50) -income tax (1 out of 50) -gas tax (1 out of 50) -budget deficit (1 out of 50) -road disrepair (3 out of 50) -illiteracy (1 out of 50) -educational inequity (2 out of 50) -COVID school shutdowns (1 out out of 50) -COVID business shutdowns (1 out of 50) -COVID mandates (1 out of 50) -illegal border crossings (1 out of 50) -funding for illegal immigrants (1 out of 50) -People leaving state (1 out of 50) This is what Newsom and Kamala Harris call a "model for the nation."
