Fabio: Why California is falling apart
The Tucker Carlson Show ^ | 29 March 2018 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 04/07/2018 11:21:14 AM PDT by Steely Tom

The Golden State is losing its glitter, rapidly. California has the nation's highest poverty rate. homelessness is rampant. State officials are focused on protecting illegal immigrants from deportation rather than reversing the flight of the state's middle class. Actor and model Fabio, an immigrant, weighs in on California's decline.

"I have heard from the romance writers convention attendees that he actually is very nice in person."

I think he must be.

One of his quotes I enjoyed: "I see celebrities being rude to fans all the time, and I don't understand it. You are rich, good-looking, and famous. You have every reason to be happy. I see no reason to be glum and unfriendly. Be nice, and grateful."

The worst part of the crisis is when those flakes move to, and destroy, other entire states. Worse than the plague. I could care less about kalifornia. I just hate it when those fools move out.

“”Tell me where I am wrong here... “”

As long as you’re not one of the FReepers who thought Arnold was the right man for the job against Tom McClintock!!!!! I really don’t think those can be found here anymore or at least not that they will admit Arnold was their choice....

::I just hope they don’t bring their beliefs and voting records with them
But they do...::

That is such a wild notion that people have in their heads and it’s difficult to dissuade them otherwise. We made it out of CA 12 years ago, took our conservative values with us to GA. Truth be told, more conservatives flee the state than the opposite. Yes - years and years ago when conservative was the WORD for CA - the liberals did flee to OR and WA but that was long ago and times changed. The liberals are perfectly happy now staying right where they are.

You too can get out....You don’t need a neighboring state...

Venezuela has a GDP of 371 billion. California is 2.5 trillion. Almost 7X

The number that matters is GDP per capita.

California ranks eighth highest among the states, at $58,619. Massachusetts was #1, at $65,545. Mississippi was last, with $31,881. But there was one stinking non-ranked non-state that came in at $160,472.

Among nations, the US ranked #11, at $59,495. Venezuela was #96 at $12,388. Liechtenstein was #1 at $139,100.

Not so sure about that. They seem to have no grasp of cause and effect. Many liberals also worry about rising crime, runaway taxes, outrageous housing prices, decrepit infrastructure, overcrowding etc. but don't seem to comprehend they're getting what they voted for. Instead they leave and take the same problems with them.

I agree there's certainly an entrenched liberal elitist class along the coast, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, etc. that enjoys the new feudal system in the state: an illegal underclass to serve them at very low wages which also votes for Democrats. But it's not just conservatives fleeing CA.

[CNY] == [Central New York]

which I would say includes Ithaca, and much else.

2/3rds of the state would secede from California and remain with the union.

"But...but...that's different! We can secede from the country, but you can't secede from the state!"

/Lib mentality.
