Oh, but what about all the negative nannies who complain about Commiefornia and how they state Uhaul as FACTS about the Commiefornia exodus due to all the liberal laws? LOL. Those people just make me laugh.

California will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be a desired destination for people from all over the country and the world.

Wonder how this compares with the counties of Idaho....

But it’s accelerating for tax payers, and you’re replacing them with poor, uneducated people who need state services. The whole reason California was able to afford this bloated bureaucratic nanny state for so long was because even when you were losing population you were gaining high income net contributors who were willing to pay the exorbitant taxes. The whole reason why this model works, to a degree, in Northern Europe is bc they have many high income earners willing to pay for all the government, very few people need the services, and there’s very little waste fraud and abuse. That’s not the case in California any more.

Those countries also had small and homogenous populations.

People are much more willing to help others more similar to them than "outsiders"...

From a raging torrent to a steady flow. California is saved!!

Look, the gaping hole in the boat was mostly patched and we won't sink today, but it might take a full week to sink.
