I’m surprised you don’t understand how many people feel similarly.

It’s not that anyone hates all Californians.

But the state and various local governments are well on their well to transforming the place into a failed leftist hell that they plainly expect the rest of us to help pay for one day.

We already pay now for the impact of California emission standards and other product regulations that make their way into the U.S. economy as a whole.

How do you think we are going to react to news like this?

I don't trash talk any other state, although I have a list of states where I have been and would not choose to make them my home for a variety of reasons. The idea that you advance that somehow California is responsible for the emission standards where you are is ridiculous! Your state had to pass laws to implement any such standards. The fact that you don't like them has no bearing on what was done here. Sure the RATS in Sacramento are nuts, but the idea that this state is a "leftist hell," is BS. and I don't expect anyone to "help" pay for anything that has been done here. And by the way, California, with all its problems, is stiil the economic engine that drives this country. Our economy, as bad as it is today, is still something like the seventh largest economy in the world. Just where do you think much of what you eat comes from? Texas, Illinois, The Carolinas, The Dakotas? How's that Texas wine? You know, the stuff that tastes like cow piss. What will you do if FR decides to go out of business because California is such a lousy place. If you don't live here, you have no room to talk. If you've left here, same story. You know, one of my kids went to school in Boston. I hate MA politics, but the people there seem to go about their daily lives in spite of a political system I abhor, and it's the same here.
