Atlas shrugged, packed and left.
California - great place to live, just wouldn’t want to reside there.
To make room for the mexicans.
The spin I heard the other day on our local radio the other day was that CA has actually “gained” population.
Methinks perhaps they are counting illegal alien births in that tally.
The only businesses thriving around here are the U Haul franchises.
It will get much worse now that Moonbeam is back AND the idiots here voted to allow the demtard legislature to force any budget they want on us with a simple majority.
(The pipple are continually being screwed by the Republik)
If you read the article, you’ll see that even the illegals are saying “No” to California. Wow, huh?
You can’t find better weather in any other state in the mainland.
The reason why many still stay is because the great weather is probably still worth thousands of dollars in taxes.
In a way, it's a consequence of the fact that Americans can move anywhere in America they like. The scumbags like nice weather and beautiful Pacific ocean views as much as any of the rest of us. More scumbags per capita moved to California, just like more of every other catagory of society per capita moved to California. Only problem is, the scum voted their own into the legislature, and that's making the state kind of unattractive to the non-scum, who don't have the patience to put up with it.
California has to hit bottom. It's always been out front of national trends; maybe it'll be out front with the "hitting bottom" trend too. We'll see.
Full disclosure: I lived there when I was a little kid, and I'll never forget what it was like back in 1960.
Worse yet, the liberals moving out of California are screwing up the states they move into!
California, which has been run by democrats for decades, is now feeling the effects of all their liberal policies forced on Californians by the legislature and a steady succession of liberal and RINO governors.
California now finds itself in the same boat as Michigan, Illinois, Massachusetts and many other states that are facing huge budget deficits and the distinct possibility of bankruptcies.
If it were up to the democrats, they would have turned states like Ohio and Pennsylvania into a failed state like Michigan which has been dominated by democrats for decades.
Such is the legacy of modern day unions.
The remedy is to get state and federal spending under the strictest of control and begin a nationwide campaign for pension reform.
No one in their right mind would build a plant in California. You’d go somewhere where they want you.
Like China.
California’s problems are self-inflicted and they have yet to face them. The first step toward fixing a problem is admitting that you are the problem and California keeps heading down the same road as stubborn as anyone can be.
They have oil gurgling up through the ocean floor that they refuse to go after. To sit, bankrupt and unemployed while huge resources sit untouched is criminally stupid, and thats California.
I left this month and am not looking back!
Of course Time, that piece of garbage, ran an article about the state that is out of tune with the rest of the country and far behind.
A message for all libs escaping CA, stay North. Do not go the the South. It's humid and the people are mean. You wouldn't like it there.
That ain't going to happen. I was born here, and have lived 50 years here.
Liberals own this state. The decline will continue because the middle class has no power or representation whatsoever. Ruling class elitists, government, and Mexicans is the future here. And I say Mexicans as in Mexican/Central/South American nationals. So, we have another leftist, corrupt, "Latino" style country that the scum at the top can play with, being created right in front of our very eyes.
The talented techies aren’t stupid enough to stay in California.
However, the bums are plenty smart enough to stay.
where did u move to ?
