I agree 100% and I also live here.
Things just haven’t gotten bad enough for them to pull the plug on the big programs, amnesty and protections for illegals, and ridiculous impediments to a healthy business climate yet. More middle and upper class people need to flee the state before Sacramento really gets serious.
As I said to someone the other day, this is remarkably like an AA meeting: It’s not that I don’t “care”. The drunk, in this case, the St of CA, has to hit bottom and know that he’s hit bottom, and until that happens any effort expended is a complete waste. So the sooner it happens the better. And that’s really all there is to it.
