Soros money can't buy everthing - even in Cali

[oldag]

Soros spent millions on DA (that is District Attorney) campaigns in Cali. Most of his candidates only garnered ~30% of the vote. One did make it to a runoff.

Nice surprise. Seems even Cali residents decided they wanted some law and order.

Unfortunately, most the politicians that beat out his aren't any better.

I’ve been reading where that was his latest political strategy - to win influence at “the local level”. Glad to see that apparently failing too.

Also have seen articles where some Californians have been leaving the state because it’s gotten too expensive to live there in trying to maintain a “middle class” life style. The ‘American Dream’ seems to be escaping them.

The very socialist agenda ‘welfare state’ hasn’t been working for Cali for quite some time, now. Their tax base will never be able to keep up with the nanny state’s promises. I’m not even sure they fear failing (i.e., state-level bankruptcy), because they know the U.S. Federal government (which has its own proclivities toward being a nanny state) will declare California is “too big” to allow to fail. Thus, the feds will step in and bail their a$$es out!

California is turning into a state of the rich and poor. The middle class is moving out in droves. Middle class is the sustaining class to a state, without it, it can only fail.

And unfortunately, Texas is one of the top destinations for those leaving Cali. Move the Border Patrol to the Texas - New Mexico border...

I have seen some studies done on this and the reality is when they move from Cali to other states they bring the problem with them, what they left for they bring.

Those that left Cali because illegals were getting to many benefits, welfare, free medical, tuition etc and they come here and want open borders...WTF??????

New residents are lured by red-state perks, but unfortunately, they bring their blue-state values.

Recent Census data (2014) shows that the top seven states with the biggest percentage increases in in-migration — those gaining in number of residents — are North Dakota, Nevada, South Carolina, Colorado, Florida, Arizona, and Texas. All red states except Colorado, which is purple.

The top states with the biggest percentage out-migration, which is to say the states losing the most residents, are Alaska, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, New Mexico, New Jersey, and Kansas. All these states are blue, except Alaska and Kansas.

According to the American Community Survey in 2015, New York had 69,289 migrants to Florida. In total, the survey counted 1.5 million people living in Florida who were born in New York. In comparison, only 0.9 million people who were born in New York were living in New Jersey — right next door.

New York wasn’t the only state hemorrhaging population. California had 65,546 migrants to Texas.

While we’re looking at California, you may know that Orange County is famous for being the only Republican stronghold along the Pacific Coast. Unsurprisingly, the American Community Survey also found that one of the largest county migration flows was folks moving from Los Angeles County to Orange County.

As you can see, this is a nationwide trend. And yes, it’s happening here in Virginia.

In 2006, Virginia was 42nd in terms of net out-migration, bringing in 34,203 more residents than we lost. Number 51 was Texas, which brought 173,243 more than it lost. New York lost 228,444.

In 2016, Virginia slipped to 11th in net out-migration, losing 11,507 residents.

Why are folks beginning to leave Virginia? Because over the same time period Virginia has slipped in the business rankings due to blue-state policies creeping in, driven by an increasingly blue Northern Virginia.

To put this in perspective, let’s compare where the commonwealth ranks in various surveys on economic competitiveness and the general climate for business.

Between 2010 and 2017, Virginia slipped from second to fifth in Forbes’ “Best States for Business” ranking; from second to seventh in CNBC’s “America’s Top States for Business” ranking; from second to seventh in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Enterprising States” ranking; fourth to 15th in Chief Executives’ “Best and Worst States for Business” ranking; and from fourth to ninth in Site Selection Magazine’s “Business Climate”ranking.

Say whhhhaaaat? Noooo way! Lol. I always laugh when liberals spout their nonsense with no idea how to keep a good life affordable.

I'll be right behind you, trust me.

It’s what I’ve been trying to say [advocate] for at least the last four or five years now. Seriously.

That would be good.

Would be an interesting experiment. Might work following the "enclave" model. Would need to create a sanctuary city from the state's gun laws and business regulations.

Can we send all the liberals from Austin, Houston and Dallas?

Can we send all the liberals from Austin, Houston and Dallas?

And San Antonio, and El Paso, and the Valley, all of which voted majority blue

You don’t know how much what map that represents truly disturbs me.

If you look at the Houston/Dallas/Austin triangle, that blue represents unTexans moving here with unTexan ideals. San Antonio has been solidly blue for all my 45 years, and the politics are full-up f’d up, much like El Paso.

I’ll just go back to my all American bourbon now.

I know exactly how much that map disturbs you.
And then some.

Then you would only be replacing liberals with other liberals, so it wouldn't do anything to help the California problem.

[jrbfishn]

But it would help some of our problems. Close enough.
