Texas - This state isn’t just growing — its economy is getting richer per resident

Edso - do you realize as teachers the CA pensions are underfunded by $232B; the worst in the country?  It won't be fixed anytime soon as the state is facing multi billion deficits for the forseeable future.


You're lying, Tom, but in any case, why on earth do you care? You can live in Senior Shit City in the desert. Edso can live in CA. 

People are so happy in Ca they can't wait to leave

 

California -530,886 (2020-2024) California experienced the second-largest population drop, losing approximately 75,000 residents in 2023 alone during its third consecutive year of decline. The number one reason people leave is cost, with California ranking as the nation’s second most expensive state behind Hawaii. Housing expenses often exceed national averages by double, while the state carries the nation’s highest income tax rate at 12.3 percent. Slow job growth and 441 businesses relocating headquarters since 2018 compound the challenge.

 

U-Haul data shows California leads the nation in net out-migration for six consecutive years, with Arizona, Nevada and Texas attracting the most residents.

 

Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Illinois also ranked among the five states with the biggest net losses.

As usual when kevin is faced with facts he screams liar but actually kevin is the liar.  

 

The collective unfunded liability across California’s state and local public retirement systems is estimated to be in the range of hundreds of billions of dollars.1 Currently, the total debt for these systems is approximately $250 billion.

By the way Ca is in the process of passing a new gas mileage tax of 6 cents per mile; in addition to the highest gas taxes in the country.

 

They will track this by accessing the recording systems already in cars, Big Poppy is watching all the time.

 

And then there is AB 130 which is a tax on new construction of homes on areas which the govt determines is a "high driving area"
