The GOOD thing about Californians is that they're flooding with the homeless people that we don't want. They all go to California

Just to say in regards to the homeless, San Diego is facing a hepatitis A outbreak. Mostly among the homeless. Any Kiwis that been to San Diego, you better get your shots.

I like how they try to say this is to get help for those with HIV. Except you do have assholes that like to spread it to a person without letting them know they got a disease that now requires medication for life. While it is nice people can get care for it, it won't really get people to comply with test if they are the sort of asshat that wants to fuck with people.

I'm leaving the state in two months and I can't really say I'll miss it. The only thing I'm going to miss is the convenience of stuff like 24 hour grocery stores and late night Chinese.

One thing you could definitely give the middle finger towards would be housing. As far as one can remember, housing in California is fucking expensive.
 
I'm not so sure about this commie-fornia nickname. If you care to investigate fiscal and economic policies you will see that this particular state is not kind to their poor and not capable of allowing the existence of a middle class of any kind especially in the large cities.

Look how they treat their homeless. Welfare per person in California is about 157 dollars per person per month (lol). Rent is into the thousands with small homes into the millions. High taxes don't mean "high social services" (a common myth). It could just mean a greedy state government as nothing really trickles down to the citizens despite the taxes paid.

California is horrible for most people who aren't rich. That's the true reason people are leaving the place because it's not conducive to the middle class.

California may only be liberal in one area, certain social policies around abortion and queer folk but I think that's as far as it goes. They have the new "crown laws" for black women to wear laughably bad African hairstyles without getting dismissed from work over it and bring told to straighten their hair but that seems like racial pandering.

Almost just like the USSR, the CCP & the CPK.

This is how it's always been with every Communist regime that has ever existed, everyone is poor except for party members who get the best possible shit. Regular people are forced to be poor at best or forced into labor camps at worse. In California's case, people are just forced to live like they're poor even if they have money.

Newsome's victory at the recall election could also be considered party-related favoritism. Californians willingly admit that Gavin Newsome is a retard who probably embezzles money, but they would never choose Larry Elder as an alternative. They would rather have an incompetent ideologue for a governor than a competent outsider.

Communism has always had wealth disparity for inner party members, only in California it's for the already rich instead of just for ideologues. One of the first things Stalin did when he came into power was he purged the farming class & replaced them with randos with no farming experience.

I'm not making the assertion that California is exactly like a Communist regime, but it hits enough hallmarks to resemble one. For example, one of the few things it doesn't have is genocide or the legislative abolition of Religious faith.

What a horrible state for a middle class person. Could you even imagine?

Eventually they're going to make homelessness illegal there or have the homeless relegated to smaller towns to get them out of the big cities as it's going to be like 99% gentrified for wealthy people. They're putting up with the tents for now but I suspect that won't last. In terms of their ''worker class'' that will likely be replaced with illegal people desperate to work for dimes. The construction companies will likely buy houses for their workers (ten people per room kind of thing) and pay them peanuts. It's all in the cards and it's very sad.

LMAO no, they're not doing that. That's something a Republican state would do.

They've been putting up with tent cities and literal shit on the street for years. If they were going to do something about it, they would have.

This is the most accurate outcome, California can't rely on actual middle class people because they have rights & demands. Illegal immigrants will take whatever they can get, if they're the dumb variety. The smart variety will blackmail the employer for more money, since all that happens to the illegal is they get sent back over the border while the employer gets into deep legal shit.
