My sister-in-law, (both she and husband are in their mid-seventies), and entire clan of adult children with children left California last year. Reverse Okie. They were 3rd & 4th generation Californians from the Dust Bowl migration.
My wife reads me excerpts from a Facebook page dedicated to the people fleeing California. There’s a lot of risk averse folks who also are very unlearned about self sufficiency trying their hardest to live free.
These folks are saving their children and perhaps the entire nation with their migration?
