Eventually, California will be as irrelevant as Vermont on the national stage

irrelevant? We haven't been relevant for a while now.

I prefer to think of it as being rather liberating to be irrelevant. However, I am glad that you live in a more relevant state like Texas.

I'll just have to stay here and suffer.

I hate to tell you this, but I'm in on your game.

I try to bad mouth California as much as you do, and for the same reason. I'd like to live there, too, but without all the fools who are currently there overpaying on their rents and mortgages.

The bubble is due to burst, and I waiting to get in when it does.

Oh God please don't move to Montana! We have been over run with all these environmental whackos! They don't want us to fish-hunt-log-mine! That is the sum total of our economy other that tourism and farming! Our legislature and leaders have become transplants who push their "diversity" agendas. STAY IN KALIFORNIA!

" I'll just have to stay here and suffer."

Does this bear any resemblance to: "I'll just sit here in the dark a little longer."?
