Strong centralized government always ends the same way, an oligarchy and the peasants.
That is where we are heading. We may already be there.
its the goal of progressives
😂😂😂😂😂 you must be new in the USA.
Millions of illegal immigrants does not help the problem either 🙄
They only exist because the people that hire them are not prosecuted.
They are part of the plan to replace the fleeing citizens. See, the Congressional appropriation is based off of population (The apportionment calculation is based upon the total resident population (citizens and noncitizens) of the 50 states.) This impacts the electoral college. So the influx of illegals helps the Dems maintain where the Presidential votes are in their controlled states (CAli/NY/Ore/Ill..). They are insuring "their" desired result.
Just had a friend from HS that moved back from Cali. He lived there 20 yrs and says the weather is great but everything else is horrible
just wait a while, it'll get worse...
The smog in Los Angeles caused me depression--I love the Colorado blue skies.
@@paulbrungardt9823Back in the '60s, smog was so bad in LA, we werent allowed outside to play. Ill never forget that it literally hurt to breathe. Needless to say, I havent lived there for over 50 years. Wackofornia is hopeless. It was obvious well over a decade ago.
Im in san diego. not going anywhere. hope more people leave. better for traffic!
agreed
Gavin is doing a great job (getting rid of everything good in CA!)
Joe's replacement.
Gavin sucks
Stop focusing on Newsom. The problem did not start with him…and it will not be solved by his removal. California is a single party state, with people being people, all the corruption that brings. The fault lies with the people of California. They keep electing these people who have their head up their a$$. Want someone to blame…look at your neighbor and in the mirror. Don’t think because you are a Republican this does not apply to you. I watched that state party commit suicide in the 80’s and 90’s in order to secure one more term cycle in office for their incumbent politicians rather than adjust to future reality.
You voted him in
@@ronxlii I hate that argument. I'm Canadian and I NEVER voted for Trudeau. Others did and now I'm living with the consequences of THEIR vote....not mine.
My wife and I found our little piece of heaven in South East Arizona. Escaped Komiefornia in 2019
Remember why you left. Always
@@jacobmackey4142 Thats a good respectful comment. I resent when people say "you voted for it"...... When I never EVER did. From my point of view, elections have almost always been a choice of least worst. With a few rare exceptions..... From my long experience, I doubt elections are even the 'people's will'. 2020 just put it to rest.
And Arizona is becoming slowly like California
No no no not Arizona ya'll keep coming here I am going back to michigan
“You voted for it” commenters are 🤖🤖&🪴🪴 Divisive Or the victims of prop0ganda Stay positive and love comes first
He's on point. California is for the rich, State Government workers, and the poor. I can't wait to move out of here next month!
Basically sums it up
oof. I am a Cali native and live in LA. It's so frustrating to live here.
I see so many California license plates here in Arizona. It's hot here in the Phoenix area. Not good.
Are you moving to another state?
It’s not even for a good number of state workers anymore ( at least not for ones that have entered the work force within the last 10 to 15 years). Salaries aren’t keeping up with the cost of living for state workers to live here. They are losing workers or having a hard time filling positions (especially with single people). You have to have a dual income household ( both working) to get by.
Let the Tech giants care for the thieves and drug addicts - soon there won’t be stores to steal from - imagine having to put basic necessities under lock and key - what a mess they made of that beautiful state
It is a tragedy what has happened in California. I see the same thing happening here in Victoria, Australia. Two once-great states falling literally into ruin. And most probably on purpose since I will never be convinced that any mentally fit adult could systematically enact inept and destructive policies over decades unless it was done intentionally (with the goal being to secure power indefinitely and unopposed since you have created a welfare state).
They easily can. Look at any non western Christian country. Good choices are the abnormality in the world.
Look into the Great Reset strategy being executed by the elite. The destruction is part of their plan to tear down western civilization from the inside. The elites want only peasants and ultra wealthy.
It is a fundamental failing of liberal democracy. People keep voting for more government and more government handouts until the economy collapses.
I live in a cluster of small farming and ranching towns north of Sacramento. A woman who had four acre horse ranch used her land to rehab drug addicted youth using horse therapy. Placer County wrote her a check for 2.2million dollars take it or leave it to build a 200 unit low income apartment complex. I am moving next month for the Midwest.
The problem with refugees from California is that they tend to vote left and turn their new homes into the mess they ran from. Please don't do that! If you're not like that, then welcome!
Best wishes for your east-bound journey into what will hopefully be a better world for you.
Just be sure you do your research. It gets below FREEZING in the winter -35 and colder, in addition there has been TORNADOES that just swept through NE, KS, IA, OK, and MO.
Leave that liberal, woke ideology behind my friend. Good for you. 👍🏾
@@barbaraallen7164 I used to live and work in NE MN.
Such a wonderful nature in California. I was there as a tourist from Germany and it's terrible what happen in the state and in so much other countries at time
Here in Oz we have the same thing happening in social housing. The decent folk are driven out by the drugs and criminals and become homeless...
Like British Labour They support poor so long as they remain poor
Retiring and moving from CA to WY later this month and taking our pensions with us. Crime is high in the Golden State and there are scary, lawless individuals around every corner who are unafraid of possible punishment. We'd rather not be the next victims.
Wyoming is so beautiful! Good luck to you.
But if you vote Democrat, please stay in California. America doesn't want you.
I'm so sorry for the locals in WY.
There is no punishment. That is why the criminals feel emboldened.
Just don't vote like a liberal. Don't ruin Wyoming.
It’s all by design
Liberal democracy is economically self destructive. People keep voting for more government and more government handouts until the economy collapses.
A truly sick and decaying society. I don’t see it improving for 10+ years
Optimistic on the 10+ years I think.
@@sailingaeolus I think so too I really think 50-100+ 😅😅
Why in ten years? Nothing has changed for the better.
It may not improve at all. It is so greed consumed that planet may reclaim it for geographical renewal.
The late Isaac Asimov referred to the phenomenon as “deterioration” . It appears to be a fundamental failing of liberal democracy. People keep voting for more government and more government handouts until the economy collapses. The Coastal Commission costs California many billions of dollars of lost property development each year. The state is over governed and over regulated.
Extraordinary.
True, California is indeed extraordinary. More BS from the envious. Most states would LOVE to have an "economic exodus" like California. Californians are least likely to move from their state. Why? #1 economy in the US, #1 agricultural, 4th largest economy in the WORLD, #1 entertainment, #2 in average life span, #1 in aerospace, state that people are LEAST likely to move from, # 1 in pro sports, #1 in technology, #1 in venture capital, #1 tourism, # 1 in innovation, # 1 in patent creation rate, #1 fun state, #1 in national parks (9), # 1 in state parks, one of the happiest states, one of the highest rated for infrastructure, # 9 in pollution, average debt to GDP percentage, # 1 cleanest state, # 40 in drug use, #1 most beautiful state, #1 in GDP. #1 in most new businesses total & per capita, #1 in higher education, # 2 in educational quality K-12, #1 in creativity, #1 most innovative state, #1 destination for foreign immigration, #11 most tax-friendly state for the middle class, drag shows, history, abortion, gambling, books & ideas are not banned, #1 in natural environment, 20% LESS crime than the national average, 43rd in gun violence, #1 most popular state, #1 state best for business, #7 for health care, #1 healthiest state, # 1 in diversity, best weather by far, etc. The rest of the country needs to catch up.
I live in SF. It's both better and worse than Dave made it out to be. Yes, some large parts of the city experience what he described, but I'd say 70% of the city is not full of the fentanyl zombies. That said, they show up everywhere, and break-ins, automotive theft, etc come for all of us. You unbelievably do get used to all that, but what you don't get used to is how unreasonably expensive, dirty, and unaccommodating it is. Everyone here will at least somewhat openly hate on white men and touts horrible politics and opinions, many people are overpaid and work 20 hrs a week, so they don't mind the $20 cocktails and $25 sandwich combos, but as a startup founder, it's subjectively awful.
Silly. To identify the happiest cities in America, according to residents, 24/7 Tempo reviewed the happiness score of all 383 metro areas in the U.S. from digital health company Sharecare’s Community Well-Being Index. The index measures whether individuals feel a sense of purpose, have supportive relationships, are financially secure, satisfied with their community, and are in good physical health. Sharecare surveyed more than 450,000 U.S. adults, concentrating on these five areas of individual well-being, as well as analyzed more than 600 elements of social determinants of health from additional data sources. The West and Rocky Mountains regions, specifically California and Colorado, appear to be the states with the most cities where residents feel happy. The happiness of residents in the GREATER SAN FRANCISCO area - the winner for a second year in a row - is bolstered by strong performance in several categories, including housing and transportation, food access, and financial stability, according to Sharecare.
Shhhhhhh! Don’t tell people that things aren’t as bad here as people are claiming. I want all of the techies to move to Texas and then I can maybe afford to buy a house. Also I live in Diamond Heights, one of the nicest neighborhoods in San Francisco, and the thieves have been stealing so much from the Diamond Heights Walgreens and Safeway so much that they’re half empty and the stuff that’s on the shelves, shampoo and such, is all locked up. I witnessed a Walgreens manager get hit in the head with a skateboard in Diamond Heights. It’s definitely come up the hills to the nicer areas also. I saw a tent encampment on Portola recently. It’s reaching into areas that were considered practically the suburbs before.
"...better and worse"? Sounds from your own words that it's worse and worse. Maybe some people can become acclimatized to madness.
@@Accountdeactivated_1986 Try living in the most miserable area of the country namely the South. SF is relatively free of violent crime as California is 43rd in gun violence.

Some of our relatives have moved from CA great weather, to WA bad weather.... to escape taxes and high real estate costs.
If you work in California, run. If you have a business there, move it out of state. Things are only going to get worse.
*Agreed, it's in a permeant death spiral.*
Guess what license plate I see here most often? Texas.
@@dannysullivan3951 Since we don't know where "here" is, it's hard to know what you mean.
@@theophrastus3.056 Well let me spell it out for you. CA.
@@dannysullivan3951 Unfortunately, your “evidence” is laughably inadequate. CA is becoming a 💩 hole, and everyone knows it.
I went to grad school at Stanford from ‘87 to ‘91. I was back there in 2018, only to see a bunch of broken down campers lined up alongside the campus boundary on El Camino Real. I left CA in 1991 partly because the cost of living was so high and I hated the politics. As much as I didn’t want to live in San Francisco, I loved visiting the city and my wife would accompany me every time I attended a conference in the city. It is such a tragedy to see how the misguided soft on crime politics have destroyed that once beautiful city. These days, I would refuse to travel to San Francisco if my boss asked me to go.
Manufacturing left California in the early 1990s when the Cold War ended, as it was lots of military equipment manufacturing. Its not coming back as the land prices to build facilities on, or the lease rates on existing facilities, are way too high, and the wages needed to get skilled people to live and work in the suburban areas would also be too high.
Wrong. According to Business Wire despite California’s famously high cost of living, the state remains the largest contributor to the U.S. manufacturing industry in terms of both employment and output. A comprehensive new analysis examines the manufacturing industry in California and reveals some surprising findings that contradict the popular perception that the industry and its workers have been priced out of the state. “But the headlines we read miss the striking advances that have occurred in output as a result of innovations, improvements, and investments in production processes - particularly in high tech.” The report, produced by Beacon Economics LLC and commissioned by California Manufacturing Technology Consulting (CMTC), found that the state’s manufacturing output has exceeded the national rate by 83% since the late 1990s. And contrary to widespread belief, California’s share of manufacturing jobs in the United States has ticked up slightly since 2000, currently standing at 11%.
One of the problems with "Tech Billionaires" is that many are a pure product of investment capital, and not any real value. Elizabeth Holmes is a great example, she was a "Billionaire" at one point, thanks to Theranos stock, but that company was apparently purely fraudulant. Any billionaires created by Moderna would be another great example, as Moderna has only gotten one product to market, and that was only because that product was allowed to breeze through FDA authorizations and approvals. Had those standards not been lowered 90%, Moderna would be a 13 year old company with zero products ever sold.
Gates and China created the disease and sold the cure.
Dave Rubin can be trusted as far as you can throw him.
Great Britain tried this many years ago were they were going to make the rich pay their fair share which is basically extort money from the movers and shakers and innovators of Great Britain. What they didn’t think through was the fact wealthy entrepreneurs can and will relocate where they are treated best. I’ve heard it called the great exodus of intellect and great Britain has not recovered from this. Their shortsighted money grab has had long lasting consequences.
Thank you so much John for bringing all this to our attention and helping us to understand this. It seems t o me that in the cities it is getting so bad that it cannot be stopped. The best then is start new somewhere else. That eventually shifts the problem else where to.
What John had to say was no revelation ... we've known all of it for decades.
We enjoyed CA for so long (50 years). Watched the class split happen.
on my television, I have the app for Pluto television channels. I found a channel that shows local news in different cities across the country. There was one for San Francisco, so I clicked on it. On that channel was local news from San Francisco, and they were reporting that the population of San Francisco had actually increased over the last year. What’s all that about? Are people leaving San Francisco and Los Angeles and California in general, but does that mean the population is going down? Could it be that California is getting an influx of new people from who knows where?
“ America finest city “ 🪦 San Diego, California is sinking FAST, I’ve seen that since recreational cannabis was legalized, it has had horrendous consequences, in hospital and clinics increased schizophrenia, seizures, depression, anxiety and suicidal behaviors, and I don’t see or hear anyone sounding the alarm, is like they ( government) want to destroy society, God help us. 😞
California is nice if you're Hispanic, with cities named Petaluma and El Segundo.
You can still read them right? If you don’t speak Castilian.
California used to belong to Mexico thus the Spanish names. Haven't you read ANY history? Sheesh!
I moved out of CA last year and am so glad I did. San Francisco used to be the most beautiful city in America, and now it is a disgusting sh*thole.
California fails to supply all the basics for citizens and business, high energy costs, high food costs, high transportation costs, poor educational systems, bad water supply issues, bad homeless and immigrant issues, high crime and slow or non-existent police response especially at a person property and safety issues...there is more, suprised more people especially families haven't left already...
Those Police are busy handing out indirect taxation tickets to people….. to Servers and Protect of course … mo fo s

I'm an Aussie expat out of CA. But the state ruined my life in 2008, so now I'm allover OTR, thankfully. I've been *within* the decline in America, so I understand parts of it. With what the U.S. has been exporting internationally over the past decade and a half and more, I simply do not understand why a former Australian politician is not more focussed on what is happening downunder, rather than the lost and failed state of California?
The unions are in control in California.
And the union members are lawless poc.
CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH is over again 😢
It started in the 80s…ramped up in the 90s. Sad
Goodness. How can people afford everything in California these days?? It’s brutal. Talk about transfer of wealth!
I moved from Los Angeles (where I'd lived since 1958) to Israel in mid-2022. It's safer and more pleasant here. The dangers here are acknowledged and confronted.

And they buy sports teams, and want the taxpayers to pay for their stadiums.
Gas over $6 per gallon and rising. And it’s impossible not to drive in California.

A lot of people from California have moved to low tax, southern states like my home state of Tennessee. Unfortunately, native Tennesseans are being economically forced out. My husband and I had to move to Mexico to survive. I miss my grand babies but what can I do? I feel hopeless.
What a contrast ! Listening to John Anderson ,(once Deputy PM here) after listening to anyone in the current Government. Just to be clear this bloke didn’t lose an election in leaving politics , it was for health reasons. It is the greatest disappointment to me that he did not end up with PM after his name. This country may well have had a good future ahead of it if this were so, instead we are being run by Green Socialists who are running us into the ground, (just like LA ). Dave from Australia.
Welcome to the world of Neoliberalism... Duh! 🙄
What about Neoconservatism? The following is a list of America’s most miserable states according to a Gallup study: 1. West Virginia, 2. Kentucky, 3. Mississippi, 4. Alabama, 5. Ohio, 6. Arkansas, 7. Tennessee, 8. Missouri, 9. Oklahoma & 10. Louisiana. These states correspond to the Bible belt is also the divorce belt, the teen pregnancy belt, the misery belt, the obesity belt, the opioid belt, the homicide belt, the poverty belt, the smoker's belt, the infant death belt & the low life expectancy belt. What do you notice about the politics of these states?
If only one thing,property rights and their strict enforcement is the key fundamental necessity to economic growth and success.

Enraged by what? You live in the richest country in the world with opportunity everywhere. Why do you think billions of people around the world would like to take your place? Back in the late eighties I sold a BMW to a man who was one of the boat people who escaped from Vietnam. Look it up. He had been in this country maybe ten years. He was running a landscaping company and making enough to buy a luxury. What are you enraged about? It seems like almost all of you under age forty are spoiled.

Just wait until all these people and tech comapnies move to your state. What happened in California will happen in other places. tech workers and wealthy will just find cheaper land to invest in.
California was at one time a beautiful place now it’s a horror show on a daily basis.
Rubin did not get what the Australian was saying. He was saying that the entire system is GARBAGE, he wasn't just pointing out the myriad of problems within it!!
Eventually, wages will be food stamps. You can receive your card after you have turned in your report on your neighbors
Good points about California becoming less affordable and livable. Still, California is still the biggest manufacturing state, surprisingly. But, I worry that what we have is a first world country, with super rich owners, and a lower class staffing the places. An economist would have some smarter theories here, but I'm thinking this might be our advantage. But for the middle class? Not so much. A small, not politically connected business is going to have trouble here.
" WE HERE BELIEVE, THIS IS THE CALIFORNIA WAY " GAVIN THE 🤡🫏 NEWSOME'
It’s all by design rather than incompetence, Rubin. And you know that really….
this could be a plan, by design, look at it this way. have you seen the movie with Jack Nicholson, Chinatown? The basic plot that Detective Jack Nicholson, discovered by accident, was the drought in the movie was intentionally caused to drive the farmers out of business so that their land could be bought for peanuts.. which corporations are buying up the vacant properties? It might be worth looking into the corporate connection to the local government officials. Who in their right mind would allow which to happen? I saw a video that the city of Hollywood has more than 90% of its stores closed up/vacant. Who’s in charge here?
Other than nice weather in certain places, and some nice coastline, why would anyone want to live there now?
There are still places where the local government works. It won't last forever though.

Many of you skippy laughing at my comment but the Vietnamese all over the world agree with me, a world class research , even American Vietnamese billionaire share my views too. They can stay at their relatives home for months without paying rent and meal provided every day and no complaint. Why? " a Relative in need is a relative indeed". Can John Anderson children stay at his home without paying rent ? forget about relative uncle and aunty.
