We get the ones where Jeff Daniels is telling us what a great climate for business Michigan is.

I’m a native Californian. I live in Northern Virginia now. My family goes way, way back in California. I remember it before we had the flood of people from everywhere else in the seventies and eighties- and the cost of everything went up. And the regulation of everything went up. Crime went up. And they went after the guns.
I’d like nothing more than to live in Marin and work in the City (SF), but all of that has been ruined.
I remember them coming. I remember hearing transplants joking with glee that they could go all week and not meet a native Californian. Now we’ve got those people fleeing the mess that they’ve created. And the hordes of illegal immigrants. And even good old Virginia is turning blue.

It’s enough to make you sick.

Well, speaking of sick, I have to go report for surgery. Wish me luck.

I pray your surgery is successful and that you have a speedy recovery.

Ditto for native Floridians.

Surgery? To perform it, or submit to it? Either way, best of luck to all involved!

As a native Virginian ... may I suggest a mirror?

;)

I remember L.A., before the freeways.

I remember this, too. "Welcome to California, Now Go Home". Well, they didn't.

Now we (non-liberal) Californians have to suffer the twin indignities, first, of watching a once beautiful state ruined by an influx of outsiders from everywhere, and now being considered pariahs by the same regions who, thirty years ago, plied us with their 'flower children'.

Life ain't fair.
