The real Calexit is taking place by corporations moving out of the Golden State. Many individuals are following their lead. Soon the buffoons in Sacramento will have no one left to tax but each other. A beautiful state, ruined by leftist insanity. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

This. Don't come to my place & tell me how you did it there. Don't come to my place & try to make it into the place you left. If it was so great, why aren't you still there?

Two things come to mind. First, moving to a new state because your culture/belief system has poisoned your old state is common, not only in Californians moving out of CA, but for many of the immigrants moving into the US. The problem is such people bring with them the culture that poisoned their former residence, and will poison their surroundings wherever they land. Second, the wife and I are planning our escape from CA within the next 12 months, I can guarantee we will not bring the CA virus with us. (Right now the most likely spots are Utah or Florida)  "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I hear you, brother! My wife and I are planning our exit, and the only reason we want to leave is because of the virus - so why in the world would we want to bring it with us?! My folks escaped to Idaho and love it there. But, a lot of other Californians are going there and trying to spread the mental disease known as Liberalism. They just don't understand why they bring it with them.  | |||

Do you have any real evidence that this is actually happening? I haven't. The tech industry around SF is booming. I haven't heard of any majors leaving.

I'm in Indian Wells CA for a few days. This is a relatively conservative and wealthy area surrounded by whackyland fools. I'm enjoying tweaking the libs noses and little brains. I've been asking every one about Calexit, lots of silly answers so far. I didn't come here to watch tv but it's always on, I'm seeing frequent commercials for free phones and others for immigrant support and diversity. I can't wait to get back home. | |||

A few years ago there was a piece in the LA Times re people leaving So Cal to live in Vegas or South Western Utah. They could arrange a 4 x 10-12 hour day work week in SoCal and commute. They wanted to escape the LA disease. But it turned out they were infecting their communities in Vegas and Utah. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Three tidbits come to mind. Tesla located their $Billion battery factory across the state line in Nevada to avoid CA taxes and regulations. Apple has located a number of their subsidiaries out of CA for the same reasons. For quite a few years Intel has located their manufacturing outside of CA, again, taxes and regulations. And as I think of it, Hewlett Packard has done the same. And I think my Google neighbors have indicated likewise. On the other side, American Apparel, proudly made in Los Angeles, recently filed for bankruptcy. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

This question has been asked a million times by Californians, emigrants from California, and those in the places ex-Californians have emigrated to. No one has yet come up with an answer. But it keeps happening. And yes, I'm saying that as an ex-Californian who refuses to leave free America in order to go back to the Jaded State. | |||

We just closed the sale of our house, we're in a temporary apartment looking at buying a home in Texas. We're basically hated outcasts in CA as conservative Republican gun owners, but I'm sure there will be raised eyebrows when our new neighbors see Californians move into their neighborhood. It is ironic because CA basically turned into a fucked up commie magnet state by out of state assholes moving to Liberal Mecca. Every gay, lesbian, uber leftist, social warrior moved here from the other 49, turning the state of Reagan into Cuba. Basically many of the commie politicians in CA came from somewhere else.

Yeah, right. Willie Brown isn't a native Californian?  Come to think of it, was Governor Moonbeam born and raised there? | |||

I believe Toyota closed the Fremont plant as well, however, Tesla may be using part of the plant. I'm unsure. It is difficult to measure the lost opportunities that California faces. You speak of the boom in the tech sector, but then you have examples of companies like Tesla that is building their battery factory in Reno, or Google that just purchased 1100 acres right across from there for $29 million dollars. Jet also built a huge facility in Sparks. That area in Sparks is booming, and I mean booming, with companies that were primarily California companies that are choosing to expand out of the state. Another would be American AVK, that used to be located in Fresno, but completely closed all CA facilities and is now located near Carson City, NV. DOW Chemical used to make polyiso insulation in their Tracy facility. CARB rode them relentlessly until they decided to close the plant altogether, and now they produce everything in their Illinois plant and warehouse their west coast demand in Washington state. Tech is big for California, but California can only dine out on that meal ticket for so long. When the tech sector moves on, and one day it will, California will be left without a manufacturing base. As far as agriculture goes, the state is making that more costly as well, and it isn't the boom it used to be. California is mostly doing well now, but is only one business cycle away from a world of hurt if they keep up the crazy, liberal, anti-business policies. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

March 7th was my last day in my native Golden State. I plan to go back a few times a year to visit family, etc. but I am NEVER moving back. CA has become totally unbearable. ____________________________ 220/229/228/226/P6/225/XO/SP2022/239 | |||

You'll be fine. Put a fridge in the garage/shop & stock it with neighbors' favorite beer, comfy chairs, fire-pit in the backyard, good boombox in the garage, and always keep a gun mid-cleaning on your bench. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "And it's time that particularly, some of our corporations learned, that when you get in bed with government, you're going to get more than a good night's sleep." - Ronald Reagan | |||
