California is losing population, whatever the amount, it is losing population.
Wait a second...I want to dig into these numbers of the lost population because it is actually even less than the pittance you're trying to magnify now.
During that same period of Apr 2020 - Jul 2021, 63,000 people died of COVID in CA, and you didn't bother to include that detail, so it's even less than 300,000...it's just 240,000 because CA lost 60,000 people to COVID.
So it lost population from Apr 2020 - Jul 2021, but nearly 1/5 of that were people who died of COVID.
So you're lumping in people who died from COVID in CA with the people who may have moved out of the state to paint a distorted picture of CA "losing population".
This is always the story with you...you say something that is wholly generalized and lowest common denominator, and it takes someone like me to set the record straight because of how you obfuscate.
That's a character flaw you have.
