The California recall system seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Is there any serious thought in California about making it more difficult to initiate, or other reforms?
Over the past decade-plus, there's been a serious effort to rein in the excesses of the "direct democracy" structure. That was part of the argument of the 'California Crackup' book I mentioned. I would expect that this expensive recall fiasco will increase the incentive to do so.

For a quick view of California’s good fortune, see the beginning of today’s Apple Event at https://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2021/. I almost thought it should end with a ‘Vote’ tag.
Will check it out, thank you.
