Please no! Stay away!
I imagine some of the exodus are libs, but I'd bet most are conservatives leaving the state.
ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE: Once a week, bright and early, my wife calls a close female friend in Vegas for worship talk. Before the worship begins, they talk of other things. The woman in Vegas owns a moving company, and she informed my wife of a growing trend: conservatives moving to Texas. In fact, right after the election, this company moved 4 families to Texas! And, yes, she knew they were all conservative families.
On the negative side, I hate to see conservatives leave a swing state (Nevada), but I did the same thing two decades ago. My wife and I left California for Arizona and Nevada.
But we brought our Neanderthal conservative values with us.
Something to consider...
Just like termites.
Geez, Minnesota is 45th out of 50, yet we have one of the lowest unemployment rates around. I’m still scratching my head on that one. I can only assume it’ll get worse.
Oh no....there goes the neighborhood. They screwed up CA, bankrupting it, so now they are bringing their lousy politics with them to screw up TX.
If someon comes from CA, don’t sell them a house or give them a job.
I lived in Tulsa in the early 80s. The recession was hitting some of the northern and northeast states. Tulsa’s unemployment rate was about 2.8%.
The Tulsa Mayor went on TV and exclaimed to those in the northern states: ‘We have jobs! Come on down!’
And they did.
Every 3rd vehicle on the streets was an out-of-stater. Most were from Illinois and Michigan, but other states were represented.
By about 1983/84 the recession was hitting Tulsa. Unemployment shot up. You couldn’t BUY a job at McDonald’s. The ‘official’ UE rate was nearly 9% and the ‘unofficial’ UE was nearer 13%.
It took Tulsa nearly 2 decades to recover.
CA has one-third of the nation's welfare population. Who the Hell do you think are on welfare? 38% of the population is Hispanic, most of them Mexican-Americans and illegals from Mexico. The out of wedlock birthrate for Hispanics is 50%. They have the highest school dropout rate.
So after they have trashed CA and made it unlivable, they want out. And they will do the same to Texas what they did to CA.
“”I doubt the liberals are the ones leaving.””
True. We left for GA 6 years ago and we’re sure not liberals...50+ years of residence there for me (moved there from NY state)and my husband was born there.
“If someone comes from CA, don’t sell them a house or give them a job.”
The newcomers to NJ aren’t looking for either; they are looking for freebies (including Section 8 housing, food stamps, and welfare). They also need a sterile delivery room for their anchor babies, and all services provided in Spanish.
my sister inlaw (a liberal lesbian) voted voted voted then moved away because she cannot afford to live in Cali anymore. Conyers GA is blessed with her voting habits now. She cannot afford to move back, so good riddance to her, but the damage is done here. I am looking to move out when her parents die, (she refused to stay here and help out). I have been dumped on again.
Bookmarked.
” - - - The American people and businesses are voting with their feet - - - “
Americans are repeating what the East Germans did in the 1990’s: doing an end run around Commie constructed financial walls.
Will the fate of Commie Obamanation follow fate of Commie California? The 47 % on the Entitlement Welfare Wagon want to know!
To paraphrase Karl Marx: ‘All with ability come to TEXAS, all with needs go to California, or back home to Mexico.’
BTW, this pitter-patter of fleeing feet just might, could, become known as ‘The Revised Romney Plan of Self Migration.’
Texas needs to erect signs near El Paso and Amarillo to head off the influx.
Signs should point northward and say “Marijuana is now legal in Colorado. Go there instead.”
I think they create an impression of life in Louisiana that keeps most Californians away from the state.
