You really need to educate yourself on California and the CA economy.

Straight up Fox News talking point.

You want to know the mistake I made when moving to CA after college and forty years I have lived here?

I didn’t take every cent I put into 401ks and stocks and buy CA real estate. I would have had 3x (easily) the amount of money for retirement.

But yeah, the State is ruined! When I moved here the major employers were defense contractors, gone! Then Mortgage lenders, mostly gone! Yet we still have high income and college educated net gains in population.
