How many high earners can you lose before malaise or worse sets in

It’s not the high earners leaving California, but the solid middle class. That leaves California a state of very rich and very poor.

Ah... It's so nice to be a rural, agricultural flyover state.

Sorry, Texas...but better you than me.

I am in Idaho. They are building everywhere. Houses, industry, factories, money is pouring in. I asked a realtor friend where is everyone coming from? California, Las Vegas, Arizona, Washington and Oregon. A nearby small town just trucked in a dozen portable classrooms. Entire companies are moving in. My 66 year old daughter-in-law just got a job making more money than she did in Cali. She went on one interview. Her son in law did the same thing. First job he applied for he was hired.

I used to live in Boise....
Things were tough out there in the 80's. Jobs were hard to come by.
There was no Walmart in the entire town at that time.

And I lived out 5-mile road....
Considered suburbs at the time.
The plethora of jobs you describe is wild.
There were only two big employers at the time. HP and Micron.
Boise State was there of course...but not a major employer. The Sugar factory looked like a prison in Nampa. Nobody wanted to work there. Boise Cascade had its main office there too but it really didn't have many people in the office. They all were out of town.

That was 45 years ago. I'm sure I wouldn't recognize the place these days. My favorite place was the old train station park overlooking the Capitol Building and the road leading up to it. That was where I took dates as there were benches surrounded by hedges....and I could steal kisses. Nobody could see....but we could see all around. Good times!.

Hellifornia died a LONG time ago.

Its just now decayed to where it's all falling apart............literally.

Mother Nature has tried her best to eradiacate the political infestations there, but like cockroaches against a nuclear blast..........they survive.

Amalgamated Sugar is still here. It's surrounded by smaller businesses. I pass it by several times a day. They grow acres and acres of Sugar beets. There is corn growing everywhere. The harvesters will cut then stalks, separate the ears from leaves and stalks, grind up those leaves and stalks and plow it all right back in the ground. It's all just level plowed up field.

Is CA dying​

lol...no. The receipts from tourism in the city of San Francisco are greater than the state budgets of many red states.

vs.

It reflects the level of poverty in most red states. You'd figure they would wake up at some point and realize the squalor that surrounds them. But then as was said in Caddyshack..."the world needs ditch diggers too."

Idaho has nowhere to go but up.

like most communist countries .

It is fabulous here. The legislature just eliminated all tax on food. Compared to California, this is paradise.

A friend just sent me a picture of Redondo Beach where I used to live. There are now tents for the homeless everywhere. The streets are open sewers. It's not safe after dark. This was a sleepy little beach city with bikini clad girls roller skating on the Esplanade. It's destroyed. Burn the ******* state down and start over.

I doubt you have any friends.

You can find squalor in Idaho as well... The difference is that most people don't go around looking for reasons to be pissed off....that seems to be your life's work.

California used to be a wonderful place to live, I spent most of my life there. It only took three decades of unrestricted democratic rule to ruin it. That is what happens when either party has unrestricted control of a state.

Idaho has nowhere to go but up.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Nah, CA is not dying.

Mississippi is almost 40% black, the highest percentage of coloreds in the US.
