California Got What It Wanted

The same is true of California. Our elites liked the idea of stopping new gas and oil extraction, shutting down the nuclear power industry, freezing state east-west freeways, strangling the mining and timber industries, cutting off water to agriculture in the Central Valley, diverting revenues from fixing roads and bridges to redistributive entitlements, and praising the new multicultural state that would welcome in half the nation's 11-15 million illegal aliens. Better yet, the red-state-minded "they" (the nasty upper one-percent who stole from the rest of us due to their grasping but superfluous businesses) began to leave at the rate of 3,000 a week, ensuring the state a Senator Barbara Boxer into her nineties.
Since illegals pay more into the system than they take out we should incourage another 5-10 million poor to immigrate to California, that will solve the $28 billion budget deficit.

Yes, we are proud that we have changed the attitude, lifestyle, and demography of the state, made it "green,"and have the highest paid public employees and the most generous welfare system--and do not have to soil our hands with nasty things like farming, oil production, or nuclear power. And now we are broke. Our infrastructure is crumbling and an embarrassment. My environs is known as "Zimbabwe" or "Appalachia" for its new third-world look that followed from about the highest unemployment and lowest per capita income in the nation. Again, thanks to the deep South, our schools are not quite last in reading and math. So of course, like the Greeks, we are mad at somebody other than ourselves. Californians are desperate for a "them" fix. But who is them? "Them" either left, is leaving, or has been shut down.
Darn, those pesky Republicans keep leaving the state.

#3  How long before California implements Directive 10-289?

Probably not long since Moonbeam was sworn in to office yesterday.

#1  Darn, those pesky Republicans keep leaving the state.

What do you call the Democrats who are leaving the state? Are they disillusioned yet? Are they going to change their evil ways? Or are they off to destroy some other economy with their evil ways?
