As if you don't have enough problems in Californiya (gropinator speek) and you have the Gropinator, new housing developments being torn down, out of control wildfires, ...and the yuck with no underware running the State. Illinois or California, tied for the next "politicians gone wild" movie

Arnie can't even go back to his home as his birth country kicked him out. Just think if Arnie were in the building people would leave because of fear of catching what he has.
