No, these voters know exactly what they are doing. All the gig-economy folks and trade unions are loving this. Soon there will be only rich corporate a-hoes and $50 an hour asphalt spreaders left in Cali, with all the cheap illegal labor that La Raza provides with their believers voting for the Rats because “racism” and/or “open border”. Mass exodus of small biz owners, who can take their talent (and hopefully a lessoned learned for future voting) to another state.
I got out when the getting was still good in 2007. San Dog was still a relatively conservative place to live, and cost of living was pretty much in line with income. When I saw that starting wage for electronic tech jobs hadn’t increased in 4 years or so, the writing was already on the wall. Moved back to Floriduh (no state income tax, not so duh), and got a tech job in manufacturing that started me out at a little less than I was making after 10 years at a job in Cali, with much less cost of living, and a lot more Red in the state.
Yep, same thing forced me into my own business here in NY. Wages stopped going up, cost of living kept going up.
