Maybe you should stop reading commondreams and alternet.
Long was right, and many of his ideas were launched by Roosevelt as the second new deal, which made America the worlds super power
That post is loaded with unsubstantiated assumptions and pure partisan bullshit.The U.S. Census Bureau reported that 343,230 people fled California this year.
Governor Newsom begged people to stay, but even democrats are fed up with the ridiculously high taxes (California has the highest aggregate taxes in the nation) and rampant crime. Governor Newsom went so far as to ask Floridians to relocate to California for "freedom"! LOL
“Freedom, it’s under attack in your state. Republican leaders, they’re banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors. . . I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight. Or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom - - freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and the freedom to love.”
I wonder if any Floridians actually bought that freedom crap.
Anyways, many California businesses are pulling up stakes and moving to more business-friendly states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, etc. . . . Due to failed governance, doing business is tough in California - especially for smaller businesses who are forced to jump through costly hoops.
Red states saw an influx of people while the Big Blue states saw mass exodus.
Florida gained 318,855 people, Texas gained 230,961, and North Carolina gained 99,796 people.
Meanwhile, California LOST 343,230, New York lost 299,557, and Illinois lost 141,656.
The reasons for the flight from blue states and influx to red states should be obvious to any taxpayer/property owner.

It is correct however, people are leaving California and there is no case to be made it’s for any reason other than bad governance which has been exclusively handled by one party since the end of Pete WilsonThat post is loaded with unsubstantiated assumptions and pure partisan bullshit.
What a joke.
What we have in the "Trifecta" states (Where the Governor, Senate, and House are all majority of one party) is a case of groupthink. Depending on the size of the majority, no one slows down and actually thinks through their actions. This is the same in California as it is in Texas, just with different policies and results.It is correct however, people are leaving California and there is no case to be made it’s for any reason other than bad governance which has been exclusively handled by one party since the end of Pete Wilson
... the few of us who remain ...
Maybe you should try reading actual history and not nonsense filtered through misesMaybe you should stop reading commondreams and alternet.

They want to live in certain parts of SoCal, no one who grew up in America dreams of living in East LA or Gardena or Huntington Park, and unless you make a high six figure income you’re not going to afford to live in Burbank or El Segundo or MalibuAnd theres STILL way too many people in the Beautiful Blue areas.
People want to live in SOCAL.
Alabama: NOT SO MUCH. :-(
Perhaps if some of those Blue states weren't having to subsidize Red states, and got to keep those extra federal taxes they could lower their state taxes and/or improve their services??The U.S. Census Bureau reported that 343,230 people fled California this year.
