I’ve got no argument there.
We exited CA towards the end of President Reagan’s last term as president and were there for his two terms as Guv. Also there during both of Moonbeams first two terms and his dads before that.
CA was once a great state and even though we left I still wish it would become one again but it’s probably wishful thinking on my part.
I got the hell out of there in 1979 and never looked back. Most of the friends I grew up with have left California, as well.
