If it's the productive taxpayer who is now fleeing, it won't be long before the bloodsuckers follow. When will the productive get it? Fleeing only delays the inevitable. You have to start beating back the hordes to win. Beat them back. Mow your own lawns. Do your own dirty work. Otherwise, the slaves will eat you alive.

The people leaving are mainly retirees and those seeking work elsewhere.

Retirees leaving CA is an old situation, dating back to the 1970's property boom. Retirees would sell out and buy cheaper and better elsewhere, where they could live better on less. Still happens.

The labor movement thing is also old. People have shallow roots in CA and they are used to moving to where the money is. The same happened 1989-1993.

I'll bet many of the Californians heading to other states are bringing along their cheap servants. They didn't want to mow their own lawns or make their own beds in California, they won't want to do it wherever they go either.
