Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but what the hell is going with California right now? Why are so many people leaving, especially those in LA? I say this because one of my favorite youtubers (Geography Now) has put out a video on it and I got sucked into the "Leaving California" rabbithole.
This is one of the most accurate depictions of Californians that I've seen.The state is self-destructing itself so the lefty hoards are forced to flee and subsequently infect red states of course. Like a fucking Cordyceps fungus exploding its spores to find new hosts.
A lot of non-Americans, and even a bunch of Americans, don't actually realize how big California is. It's better to think of it as its own country rather than a state like Kansas or something. Thinking of it that way, you can think of the Californian exodus not just like people moving from state-to-state, but as similar to mass migration in terms of the movement of wealth and culture.
Some comparisons:
- The GDP of California is equivalent to that of the UK
- The population of California is greater than the entire population of Canada
- California is 20,000 square miles larger than all of Japan
