MA is also losing population. People flee Liberalism, it’s just that simple.
Calfornia is special, doncha know... They won’t wise up, they’ll merrily export this idiocy to the rest of the nation and ruin us all.
That might appear to be the case, but Balkanization will not be good for California's economy. In the long run, it will be Kosovo unless illegal border crossings are curbed severely. Gang violence, tit-for-tat racial discord— will cause entire neighborhoods to transform. Then it will be entire counties. It is very difficult for an area to remain united with more than one dominant language.
I begin to wonder about these “liberal hell-hole collapsing stories.” Since the 1970s!!!!!!!!!!! I have been eagerly awaiting the utter collapse of New York (city and state) MA, CA, NJ, DC, etc. The number of times I’ve read “the city stands on the brink of complete, total, and utter collapse. Bankrupt since March, and with no functioning g. since Dec, few see any hope for the beleagured city.” And yet, they chug ever onward, handing out ever larger sums of cash to ever more degenerate welfare begging bums. What gives?
“.....Adding to the humiliation is that Toyota will now take this investment and about 1,000 jobs to a more progressive and pro-business state: Mississippi....”
Hoot hoot! Yeah! LMAO!
‘Mississippi here I come........la de da...
.........to the tune of California here I come
It's easy to be lulled into illusions there, especially the illusion that so copious a bounty is inextinguishably self-generating and will always be there. Millions have been.
Like irresponsible, pleasure loving children of wealthy parents, unable to understand the source of their good fortune or to imagine that it could be taken away, California Leftists rebel against the very virtues that created the bounty they take for granted and even hold them in contempt.
They are deluded.
Reality can be evaded, but its consequences cannot.
Sooner or later, reality comes crashing through even the most convincing delusions. In fact, the more convincing the delusions, the more terrible the tragedy when reality shatters them.
It's fun to be irresponsible. It's also dangerous.
California is whooping it up in an endless party. It's going to be a bitter shock when the endless party comes to an end.
Wilson left them with a surplus which enabled them to get where they are now.
If the American people were foolish enough to empower the Left sufficiently, America would sink into a Third World Hellhole indistinguishable from Zimbabwe, ruled by a brutal, self-serving President-for-Life indistinguishable from Robert Mugabe.
The Left is drunk on pleasure and adolescent irresponsibility.
Let's hope and pray that the rest of the nation is wise enough to put a stop to the Left and its insanity--wise enough to ignore the Pro-Leftist Propaganda Machine, vis. the "Mainstream Newsmedia"--and to kick the Leftist Political Machine, viz. the Democrat Party, out of office and out of power.
Liberalism the Shaker cult redux.
>And the people who are leaving are disproportionately those with higher incomes: the very targets the Democrats want to tax more.<
The startling thing is that these people VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. So anywhere these people go high taxes, the powerful environmental lobby and excess regulations are sure to follow....
Do you know what happened back in September of 1850?
California became a state.
The State had no electricity.
The State had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
So, basically, it was just like it is today, except the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.
