As usual, your comment has nothing to do with the topic.

Katzshit is getting weirder by the day, almost up to Norman Bates level.

Sounds like breaking into the entertainment industry. As Bill Maher once said, you have a better chance of winning the lottery. There will always be the few that make it but like the Alaska gold rush, mostly broken dreams.

You're not wrong about the odds of success. But ultimately we all have one life and everyone wants to try and live their dreams. And worst case there are a lot of worse places one can live in their (single) 20's than L.A. or the Bay Area.

How about we stop giving the government money.

Every state for themselves................

Lets see who lasts.

Well it sure as hell won't be Cali as without the feds and other states helping the state will burn to nothing.

The states where taxpayers should worry most about pensions

24. California

The huge pension program in California is just 68.9% funded as is $190.3 billion in debt.

To fill its pension gap, California would need to collect $6,279 from each resident — including adults and children. That would provide enough funding to pay out all of the promised retirement benefits.

America's most populous state, led by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, is estimated to have 1.77 million state and local government employees.

See the Trumpkins are still harping on California, they should be happy, if California gets pissed they'll break into three or four States and own the EC plus Senate

It’s been proposed but we’ll never follow through. Just like we won’t seceed even though some folks wanted it on the ballot after the last presidential election.

Edit: How would we own the EC? Breaking up doesn’t give us more electoral votes

And as usual; you just cry about the info, instead of addressing it.

Well, you won't actually own it, but if you break into say four new States you will pick up six more votes, two per Senator, would have a dramatic effect on the Senate, especially if other big city States followed their example. Won't happen, but just the though has to make the Trumpkins nervous

There is no "info," just a bunch of Trumpkins dumping on California, Blue States in general, like there aren't a lot of Red States as boring and broken as Albania

Aren’t EC votes based on population? We wouldn’t gain population dividing our existing population. And from purely a political perspective Democrats could lose EC votes if one of the new states goes red

You might want to rethink your comment about picking up 6 more votes; because what makes you believe that all those in California will vote for the left??

So are you deliberately ignoring the linked articles or you just being obtuse, as usual??

If you feel so strongly about those "Red States", you are free to start your own thread(s).

Works for me, just so long as the government stops taking money from the States as well. Yes, that includes the people of those States. After all, the welfare is to people of those States, is it not?

Let's see how long the federal government lasts!
