anything headquartered in California is fucked. That state is a shithole

It seems that everyone who can afford it tries to move out of California right now, lol. At least that's my impression from Youtube where I follow a bunch of normie Youtubers, streamers, and couples, etc. Almost every month I come across a video from someone based in California, explaining how they plan to leave it, lol. But I guess California will soon be everywhere: a tiny minority of tech trillionaries ruling over a gigantic shithole of misery, poverty, insanity, endless immigration, homelessness, unaffordable homes, all streets blocked from traffic, etc.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers had that song "Californication" ... maybe that will come true. :(

Californians tend to bring their stupid ideas with them wherever they go. Look, for instance, at Austin Texas. Was a nice city, now rivals any California city for politics, traffic, cost of living, etc.

Of course, I'm exempt, I escaped California to Oregon and have done my best to never ever think like a Californian again. Also, not in Portland which helps.

What about Nevada? Is that as bad?

I lived in Nevada for a year, most Californians weren't fond of the weather so you didn't seem to see a lot of people moving there. You have either Winter(Reno/Carson City) or Summer(Las Vegas). I was in Reno and it seemed that Las Vegas had more California transplants but really there's not much of an economic driver for anyone moving there. Politically it seemed still very Nevada-like from my time there(aka 'red')

I have no idea what the LGB situation is there.

I have no idea what the LGB situation is there.

Well, one time I went there for a vacation and the Lyft driver was talking about having lots of tr-ns passengers.

As for the gay situation, no comment. ;)

If I’m to live in Portland, I might as well live in California. San Francisco and Seattle are the only two American cities I can think of that are worse than Portland. Thankfully, there is more to Oregon than Portland.

Sorry, no, there is only Portland.

(This message brought to you by me trying to encourage Californians to not move to the part of Oregon where I live.)

I feel you. I don’t want Californians moving to Ireland. They did send Silicon Valley to Ireland, and it’s going to hurt us in the long run.

Typical, ain’t it? People move out of California, and into states like Texas, Idaho and Colorado. Only to vote for politicians who will turn those states into California. And then these same-ex Californians wonder why everything in their new state is so expensive, and why the large cities have homeless and drug crises all of a sudden. The closest we have in Ireland to California is Dublin, but since Ireland is a unitary country as opposed to a federal country like America is, Dubliners don’t need to move to counties like Clare, Kerry, Mayo and Tipperary to fuck these places up.
