SACRAMENTO, CA—Governor Newsom has announced a lottery sweepstakes where five lucky vaccinated Californians will be allowed to leave California for a better state. Each winner, chosen at random, will get a free U-Haul rental and a nice property in another state of their choice, no questions asked.

"Do you want to leave this hellhole? Then get the shot!" Newsom said at a press conference Friday. "We'll even spring for the long U-Haul and a trailer so you can bring your car along. Which is great, since your car will be illegal here in a decade."

"Come one, come all, step right up and win the prize of a lifetime!" he added, donning a top hat and a cane and dancing around the U-Haul lot. "Who's gonna win? Nobody knows! It could be you! So get the vaccine and see just how much freedom there is once you leave the Golden State!"

At the announcement, millions of Californians rushed to get vaccinated, bringing the total number of vaccinated people in the state to 138 million.

Next up: U-Haul announces they’re out of trucks; statewide. Folks going to Nevada to rent them and bring to CA to load up and leave. Newsom to require a tax both ways on them.

Go to Colorado or New Mexico, stay out of Arizona, you won’t like it here.

Next up already arrived....no trucks available nor any box trailers...a six months wait to book up,,,,and in any case you have to pick up in Reno.

Can rent a trailer for $22 or so day...and will install a tow hitch on my car.

When we moved from California to our wonderful new very red state six months ago, the cost of the Budget rental truck was about four times more than the cost of that same truck going the other way.
