The rat rot syndrome
I hope he’s posting this as he’s closing up the house or after he left.
I was born in Santa Monica in 1954. I’m going on twice as old as the author of this article. I can see that no matter where you go in this country the Left is going to screw it up. But if you’re younger then you have time to run.
Don’t come here.
Democrats thrive on chaos. They get re-elected simply because they pander to their base. With a pet dog media they can say , claim or promise anything without question or accountability. They freely give more and more to unions both public and private because a lot of it comes back to them in the form of campaign donations or more direct assistance during the campaign.
Democrats are like parasites sucking the life blood out of the host until the host dies. Will California recover? Don’t know. It is said an alcoholic has to hit rock bottom before even considering changing their ways.
California has not hit rock bottom yet, there is still wealth to plunder from those that work and save but that wealth is not endless and a lot of that wealth is mobile.
At some point, no matter how ‘nice’ a place is, 99% wonderful is not good enough if the 1% you stay in daily is a cesspool.
He is obviously in the process of leaving.
Like all those celebrities that said they’d leave the USA if Trump won.. Crickets.
But I left for the Marine Corps, only coming back when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton (enjoying the occasional earthquake) but appalled at the increasing costs, the filth, the danger, the increase in Spanish-language billboards.
Ended up in Virginia. Reasonably safe, pretty weather but insane Democrats leading .. where next?
When I was willing to move almost anywhere and take almost any job, I balked at moving to any state where I could not carry a gun. I balked at moving to the inside of any major city. It wasn’t city life I opposed, it was the way these cities allow predator’s to prey on their citizens.
Along with the financial and demographic damage that liberal political entities directly inflict, we should consider the indirect infliction of what I would call opportunity losses. How many other good candidates will not move to a liberal area regardless of whatever the wages are? I would bet it’s a high number. Just talking to my own friends, admittedly, a skewed sample, none of them would even consider moving to a liberal pig sty area.
BTW, Oklahoma has moved. We're no longer next to Texas. We have moved 55 miles due east of Novia Scotia. Come on up. The water's fine.
I take it you're not a fan of Ben Shapiro?
It is Ben Shapiro. He would make a good neighbor.
Conservative Calis flooding to other states could make a big difference over time. 4.48 million wasted Trump votes there. 100K each to VT and DE would flip 4 Senate seats to us if we could find a way to get people to settle there.
So where’s he going?
California is the future of America. People will flee states like that to destroy other well 'run' states.
Left in ‘93 after 26 years and 4 kids. Never to return.
Thanks but no thanks.
