DESCRIPTION:California has the world’s 9th largest economy – just ahead of Canada. 
 It has the planet’s most productive farmland, but based on 
 chemical-intensive industrialized agribusiness that has yielded the 
 country's most polluted air and worst toxic contamination. Fresno has the 
 highest concentration of poverty of any U.S. city; the 2009 BBC documentary 
 The City Addicted to Crystal Meth shows the social decay of the drug 
 epidemic in Fresno. Vast tracts of homes sit vacant alongside the squalor 
 of the newly homeless filling to overflowing burgeoning tent cities and 
 shantytowns. 11 of the top 13 cities for unemployment are in California (12 
 in the Central Valley); 6 of the top 10 cities for foreclosures are in the 
 state (5 in the Central Valley). California has become ground-zero for the 
 toxic effects of the global economic crisis, despoiling entire ecosystems 
 and destroying lives. The ruling class is using this to further the class 
 war, dismantling the public sector and attacking working class wages, 
 benefits and living conditions; it is here that the fight back must 
 begin.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/01/21/18669817.php
