Yes I'm with amlam
each person will ultimately make the decision that deem best for them and theirs
that they *
@amlam I already said i wouldn't force anyone to be some place. So that doesn't really change what else i said.
I'm moving because I cannot help, i can't fix the problem, I'm moving to protect my family
Selfishly I suppose
Which is fine.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
“We can’t just run away from these problems and expect them to get better.”
A true and irrelevant statement since nobody who’s leaving is doing so hoping it will get better.
There's a street in my city named after my family
It's just not the same place anymore
Obviously a tough decision to move a few states a way
Away*
@amlam
CA can't get better until it hits rock bottom. 😢😢😢😢
but if a state hits rock bottom, won't it just get more federal bailout?
Depends on what rock bottom is
honest question, not rhetorical
If it just turns into a place with no economic prosperity because everyone moved away from the murder and taxes then it’ll just be a poor place no one wants to go to
but CA has massive ag and food exports, we do need it
They can still have that and hit rock bottom compared to what they are now
as one who lives in the ag centrall of CA i can tell you it is tettering on the brink already
the ag industry will wall apart faster than the rest of the state
most ag people are local farmers barely in the black
it would be great if we could get more robots and AI to do the jobs that illegals do currently
imo
I cant see why the rest of the country wouldn't pick up the slack on food
But yeah
Cant just make California dissapear
I ultimately don’t care one way or the other about what happens to California. It largely doesn’t affect my life and as long as that’s true then I don’t care
LOL
Honestly yeah
This is why I like having states govern themselves. I’m happy to let California do whatever it wants to itself, good or bad. As long as I can vote in my state it doesn’t affect me
@Mandatory Carry many veggies (lettuce, spinach, avocados, artichokes) are grown primarily in Salinas valley and cannot be grown anywhere else in the states in sustainable numbers, save for Yuma AZ, but not as high numbers
Avocados be cheap here
I’m sure the world can survive without California’s plants
Sure it can, but the US would be importing them from california if california became another country
Only if they’re less expensive than Mexican avocados
You should consider caring *a little.*
Open your wallet, take out your ATM card, and look at it. ¿See that cold-colored thing? Card chip. CA passed a law requiring all banks doing business in CA to have them; Since all banks at some point do business in CA, all banks had to add that shitech to their cards- Even if they don't have a branch west of the Mississippi.
@Clive
Mexico.
And at the end if the day, nobody will care overmuch if there were no avocados, as amIam pointed out.
Not gonna accept CA as a net benefit because of card chips though
