Lmao, imagine having to boil water and heat your home with literal coals and still screeching lies about how bad CA is.

Keep this shit in your outhouse. Or did y’all somehow fuck those up, too?

Growing up back east I was raised that a earthquake was gonna separate California from the US and it was gonna float away…

When I told my family and friends that I’m selling everything and moving to California they thought I was crazy.. “your crazy, your gonna get killed, what are you gonna do? Fires, earthquakes!! Ahhh” you’ll be back..

20+ years here and I have some incredible opportunities that would have never happened anywhere else… I came here with legit nothing, and have an entire world to show for it. (Homes,cars, kids, businesses,)

My friends and family I still talk to are back home still doing the same shit they were when I left…

I have always thought, they were the crazy ones continuing to go through the same shit instead of taking a chance on something new..

At the end of the day, now I pray that California will break off an float away, as long Vegas can come with us. 🫶

Even at the height of the oil price spike gas was not $7-8. The average around CA is about $5, but even here in LA county I haven't paid that much per gallon in months.

Sure, but as a Californian, did you factor in the cost of you having to buy waders to swim through a sea of dirty gov-supplied drug needles to the gas pump, the the dozens of homeless drug addicts surrounding the pump that you are required by law to give your money to, and the cost of your legislated penis removal in order to buy gas while someone yells at you for being white? /s, but I mean consider the type of drooling moron you are replying to lol.

40 million people in the state and they should give a shit about less than 1% leaving? That sounds like less than expected after the mass exodus from cities during and after covid.

I would like to point out.

California 40 million people - 97,437 covid deaths

Florida 22 million people - 82,875 covid deaths

So California has 18 million more people but only had 14,562 more deaths..

So maybe relocating due to the fact that some states didn’t take a global pandemic seriously may not be the best way to gage where to move.

But they are correct, the gas is a $1 cheaper…
