To return to the subject:
A Californian gets bitten by a coyote, goes home and starts fundraising for a "Jogger-Safe State" & "Let the Chips Fall Where They May!" candidate. The candidate is elected and introduces bills providing bllions for new, safer trails, wild animal preserves, children's educational programs, and finally, free medical care and lifetime pensions for anyone who was, or thinks they might have been, physically or emotionally harmed by a wild (expanded by amendment to include un-wild but angry) animal while jogging (later expanded by ADA lawsuit to include fast walking).
The citizens of Orange County, who protest the bill for being (allegedly) unsustainable, are characterized by the media as extremist Tea Party climate denyers and are shouted down by crowds chanting, "Hey, hey, let the chips fall where they may!"
The bill passes amid much rejoicing and self-congratulation, and Orange County is subsequently renamed Fenackertibben County in honor of Eustace Fenackertibben, the first Californian to die from a coyote bite-- allegedly while jogging across the border.
Five years later an ex-Orange County (now Texas) resident visiting LA during a riot between the Homeless People's Police and the Coyote Benevolent Society over pay cuts, is asked what he thinks. He replies: "I think chips are falling."
When we vote ourselves largess from the public treasury, we can't blame the politicians for the butcher's bill.
