Why I’m Leaving California (my honest thoughts will probably offend you)

Very interesting video by a millenial. She touches on California politics without getting political, and I don't think she ever says the word "liberal." But you get the point anyway.

Soon you’ll need special permission to leave California

Here's the fantasy: That's Why I Came To California, sung by Leon Ware and Janis Siegel (of Manhattan Transfer).

You can check out, but never leave….

” But with high taxes, expensive cost of living, and dwindling opportunity, there’s no longer any incentive to live here.”

But libtard politics, which causes “high taxes, expensive cost of living, and dwindling opportunity” is not one of the reasons why she is moving? (Disclaimer: I did not watch the YT video because of YT’s privacy policies) I get the impression that this is the type of person who relocates because of libtard policies, only to vote for libtards in her new abode.

She looks Asian and may have run into too many black racists.

Especially if you have any money.

We left with nothing but the clothes on our backs. My wife and I and two teen girls in tow.

We had to basically live in a tent and cook over a fire. Best thing we have ever done as a clan...

[arizonarick]

Don’t bother moving/ nobody cares.

“Soon you’ll need special permission to leave California.”

That’s not even a joke. Before we left in 2010 they were kicking around the idea of an “Exodus Tax”, and it was getting some interest in Sacramento.

[aquila48]

I didn’t see her mention of politics.

She’s going to keep voting the same wherever she goes.

Like most liberals she’s incapable of connecting dots.

Florida, Texas and South Dakota.People are moving there in the tens of thousands.

[matthew fuller]

Elon is bringing that many to Central Texas.

“...you can check out anytime you like, but you can NEVER leave!”

[Candor7]

I love it when reality impinges on ideologues.

[Steely Tom]

I checked out when I was six years old, more than sixty years ago, and Los Angeles is still a warm, sweet memory for me today. Even though what I experienced is long, long gone.

In 2019 I left California, crossed the Colorado River over the bridge into Yuma Arizona and the first song that played was Hotel California.

[Beowulf9]

That was possible in the year that song came out, 1982.

Now it’s 2022 and the new song for it is…*and it’s again Manhattan Transfer:

Good for you! Most don’t have the guts/_____, to do something like that.

How long ago was this?

Are you still living in the tent? What part of the country?
