California is so bad that the middle class flees—they don’t stick around long enough to be counted as “poor”.
Yep. They’re fleeing with their tax dollars and productive businesses - and being replaced by poor migrant invaders who will take FAR more from the system than they’ll ever put in.
Entirely unsustainable - but what does Newsom care? He’ll flee to Montana where his wife’s family lives after he retires - so he won’t be subjected to the same politics, hordes of destitute 3rd world invaders and onerous taxes and regulations that HE supported and imposed.
