California's $1 Innovation Coin Request Backfires, Sparking Public Outrage

加州要求 1 美元创新币适得其反，引发公众愤怒

Governor Gavin Newsom's call for public input on the design of California's new $1 coin has ignited a storm of criticism, with social media users seizing the opportunity to highlight the state's myriad problems.

州长加文·纽瑟姆 (Gavin Newsom) 呼吁公众对加州新版 1 美元硬币的设计提出意见，引发了一场批评风暴，社交媒体用户抓住机会强调该州的无数问题。

Newsom's initial request, posted on Twitter, was met with an outpouring of suggestions, but not the kind he may have been hoping for. Instead of celebrating California's innovations, many responses focused on the state's persistent issues, particularly those related to homelessness, crime, and fiscal mismanagement.

纽瑟姆在推特上发布的最初请求得到了大量建议，但并不是他所希望的那种。许多回应没有庆祝加州的创新，而是关注该州长期存在的问题，特别是与无家可归、犯罪和财政管理不善有关的问题。

Twitter users flooded the governor's inbox with satirical and sarcastic designs, mocking the state's struggles. One user submitted a coin featuring a bonfire surrounded by tents, symbolizing the widespread homelessness in California. Another user suggested a coin depicting a defaced California flag with broken needles and human feces, reflecting the state's deteriorating urban environment.

推特用户在州长的收件箱中充斥着讽刺和嘲讽的设计，嘲笑该州的困境。一名用户提交了一枚硬币，上面有被帐篷包围的篝火，象征着加州普遍存在的无家可归者。另一位用户推荐了一枚硬币，上面描绘了一面被污损的加州国旗，上面有断针和人类粪便，反映了该州日益恶化的城市环境。

The backlash extended beyond social media. Jim Stanley, the press secretary for the State Assembly Republicans, sent a blistering letter to the governor, accompanied by a series of proposed coin designs mocking his "bold leadership."

这种强烈反对不仅限于社交媒体。州议会共和党新闻秘书吉姆·斯坦利向州长发出了一封措辞严厉的信，并附上一系列拟议的硬币设计，嘲笑他的“大胆领导”。

"Under your bold leadership, California has developed a truly unrivaled method of incinerating money," Stanley wrote. "While most people would think it impossible to spend $24 billion on homelessness only to see the problem grow rapidly, you have proved the naysayers wrong."

斯坦利写道：“在你大胆的领导下，加州开发出了一种真正无与伦比的焚烧金钱的方法。” “虽然大多数人认为不可能花费 240 亿美元解决无家可归问题，却发现问题迅速恶化，但你已经证明反对者是错的。”

Stanley's letter continued with a scathing indictment of the governor's policies, accusing him of "breaking the laws of physics" by pouring "an unlimited amount of energy and resources into homelessness programs while producing no results."

斯坦利的信继续严厉控诉州长的政策，指责他“将无限量的精力和资源投入到无家可归者计划中，但却没有产生任何结果”，从而“违反了物理定律”。

The public's response to Newsom's request has exposed the deep-seated frustration among California residents over the state's persistent problems. Homelessness, which has reached epidemic proportions in many California cities, has become a major source of concern for residents. Crime rates have also risen in recent years, with cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles experiencing a surge in violent incidents.

公众对纽瑟姆请求的回应暴露了加州居民对该州持续存在的问题的根深蒂固的不满。无家可归现象在加州许多城市已达到流行病的程度，已成为居民关注的主要问题。近年来，犯罪率也有所上升，旧金山和洛杉矶等城市的暴力事件激增。

Furthermore, California's fiscal situation has come under scrutiny, with the state facing a massive budget deficit. Critics have pointed to the governor's spending priorities, arguing that he has neglected essential services in favor of pet projects.

此外，加州的财政状况也受到密切关注，该州面临巨额预算赤字。批评者指出了州长的支出重点，认为他为了偏爱的项目而忽视了基本服务。

Newsom's $1 coin request was intended to celebrate California's innovations, but it has instead highlighted the state's challenges. The governor's call for input has provided a platform for residents to air their grievances and express their dissatisfaction with the state's current trajectory.

纽瑟姆要求发行 1 美元硬币的目的是为了庆祝加州的创新，但它却凸显了该州面临的挑战。州长的征求意见为居民提供了一个表达不满和表达对该州当前发展轨迹的不满的平台。

As the state prepares to issue its new $1 coin in 2026, it remains to be seen whether Newsom will consider the public's feedback and incorporate their concerns into the design. However, one thing is clear: the governor's request has touched a nerve, sparking a public outcry that is unlikely to subside anytime soon.

随着该州准备在 2026 年发行新的 1 美元硬币，纽瑟姆是否会考虑公众的反馈并将他们的担忧纳入设计中还有待观察。然而，有一点是明确的：州长的要求触动了人们的神经，引发了公众的强烈抗议，而且这种抗议不太可能很快平息。
