[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1565221, member: 39584"] I grew up there. I love the weather and the geography. I got to watch Sacramento systematically put small farmers out of business. My Dad was a small farmer at the time, so I may be biased. What I most hate today is that when the state goes bankrupt, it will be deemed "too big to fail". Too many votes to buy is more like it. Then the rest of us will get to reach into our pockets to pay even more Cali tax. We're already paying Cali tax every time we buy a car. Because the market is so big in Cali, we all get to pay extra for cars that supposedly will save the planet. Meanwhile the average Cali commuter spends two to three hours a day driving... It's just nuts. Oh, and we pay Cali tax for electricity. Since only clean electricity may be generated in Cali, they cover the shortfall by buying out of state, so our rates go up. Everything produced in Cali costs more because of the overhead. It goes on and on, meanwhile California acts like it's butt is dipped in chocolate. Holier than the rest of us poor benighted heathens. More woke, more aware, more compassionate. It's a great place to live if you're rich or if you're poor. So it isn't the rich or the poor that are leaving, and society there gets ever more stratified. Since relatively fewer middle class people live there, it drives the insanity even harder. It's hands-down the worst-run state in the Union. Overspending and under delivering everything they touch. And as a nanny-state, they touch everything. Watching a place that you used to really like go into a death spiral is not pleasant. Knowing that you're going to have to pay to bail them out in the end is frustrating. Like good socialists, they're freeloading on the rest of us. So Cali gets the heat. [/QUOTE]
