5-Points

Looks like I picked the wrong ones again.

Remind you of anybody that used to post here but ran away with his tail between his legs?

Anybody wanna go fly a kite with me tonight? I hear it's great weather for flying KITES! I wonder if there's any KITES around here we can fly!

I didn't say the source is unreliable, I said your excerpt doesn't say what you think it says. Your lack of comprehension is astounding.

Hey, genius, the only people who can take a survey about contemplating leaving California are people still in California. All the libs that already left weren't around to take the survey, dummy.

Bump for Atlanta. It would be great to see Harvick get the win tonight.

Not quite. Somebody posted about separating blue states and red states. I said those red states would have to enforce their own immigration policies to prevent blue state dems from relocating to red states and bringing their voting habits with them. I then made the comment about living with the results of your votes. If you're going to interject, you should prolly keep up with the conversation. Better yet, don't interject in the first place. We're done here.

But they didn't lose THAT many congressional seats or E.C. delegates so it's not really happening. The guy is delusional.

111,000 people leaving a state in a year is a big deal to anybody but you. 300 people a day, every day for 365 days in a row. Yeah, that's nothing. And those are just the people on the books. How about these stats? California is in unprecedented demographic territory, one in which population declines characterize the state. Lower levels of international migration, declining birth rates, and increases in deaths all play a role. But the primary driver of the state’s population loss over the past few years has been California residents moving to other states. It is a remarkable turnaround for California—long the epicenter of population growth in the United States. Moreover, while net migration losses were once concentrated among lower-income Californians, newly released data suggest that departures have spread beyond this group. And even as more people move out, fewer are moving in: the state is no longer a significant draw for people from other states of any age, education, or income. Much has been made of the California exodus to other states, and rightly so. This migration, over the decades, has the power to reshape the state. According to the American Community Survey, from 2010 through 2021 about 7.7 million people moved from California to other states, while only 5.8 million people moved to California from other parts of the country. According to Department of Finance estimates, the state has lost residents to other states every year since 2000. Over the past few years, the movement out of the state has accelerated with a record net outflow of 407,000 from July 2021 to July 2022. Now tell me almost half a million people leaving a state within a year is no big deal. Somebody is clowning themselves but it isnt me.

Thanks! In both cases I was just trying to place the one yellow tile in the right spot. Today I chose a second word that had that letter in two different spots. Got lucky.

That is the most people leaving California at one time in the history of ever. But dogcows says it's no big deal. And I didn't say 40% of California businesses left for Texas. I simply bolded that portion of what they said. My point is that it isn't just people leaving the state but businesses too. And I'm correct on both.

Really? Number of Californians moving to Texas up 80%, study finds The exodus of Californians moving to Texas has continued to pick up steam, with a record number of Golden State residents leaving California for the Lone Star state in 2021. Researchers found that 111,000 people, or 300 per day, decided to make the move from California to Texas in 2021, an 80% increase compared to 2012, according to data from the U.S. Census and IPUMS. And it isn't just people. Others may have decided to move to Texas due to its business-friendly environment. Texas Standard reported that about 40% of businesses from California relocated to Texas, including a few high-profile businesses.

Rich libs have left NY due to the ridiculous taxes. Of course, it's easier for rich people to just up and leave. For most people it's a more difficult undertaking.

Agreed, on all counts.

Yes, there has. Ask states like Nevada and Texas who have seen a huge influx of dems leaving California for a safer, more affordable place to live. Or states like Florida and S.C. who have seen an influx of New York dems for the same reasons.

Wow! Twice in 3 days. Wordle 750 2/6* 🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Framed #485 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟩 https://framed.wtf

I didn't think it was the least bit confusing. You voted for it, you live with it. You bought it, you got it. It's pretty self explanatory.

I completely agree. If "Team Red" were to take their ball and go home, it would mean the end of the game for "Team Blue." Whereas, Team Red would simply design a new game and thrive. Which is why Team Blue can't allow Team Red to quit their rigged game. Hence the opposition to an amicable split by guys like Sho. Also, those states all have National Guard units that could serve as a temporary defensive force while millions of sympathetic others flooded in to assist and take up residence. It would definitely be interesting to see play out. Of course, the left could just stop with the anti-American stance they've adopted and save us all the trouble, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

You voted for it, you live with it. What's not to understand? Yes, there has been mass exodus of liberal voters from states like California and New York because they don't like the results of their political choices. That's buIIshit. You shouldn't get to fock up sh!t for everybody then leave and continue the practice.

If that were to happen, those states could build both. It wouldn't happen overnight but they have the ability and the wherewithal to do so. Not to mention, most of NASA is located there. So, satellites could be shutdown almost immediately. I don't see why any of that would be needed, though. Secession should be allowed on principle.

Exactly. If they would do that, and stop with the never ending new federal law buIIshit, we could probably live in peace.

I've already explained how I want this to play out. You vote for it, you live with it. No running away when your choices fock everything up. Unfortunately, too many leftists are focking poosays and can't deal with the fall out of their voting history. And any state that wishes to secede should be allowed to do so. It's a founding principle of this nation. We're united by choice, not by force.
