    In recent years, the migration wave has gained steam as housing prices soar far past other states, but the exodus has been going on for some time, according to the study. Figures show the state has seen net resident losses to other states for more than 15 consecutive years.
    Still California's population continues to grow, as the number of births exceeded the number of deaths by about 220,000 in 2017, the study noted.
    Figures also show there was an additional 185,000 people that immigrated to the state last year from outside the country.

    Keep it simple, old plates last forever, are more durable, can be recycled, and are cheaper. There is no point in changing your license number. This is just stupidly wasteful.

    Also, arn't the old plates made cheaply in prisons? Will the same type of cheap labor be used for the digital plates? Can see the messages now if so.

    Buisness's have been selling our data way before downloadable apps became popular. key cards to save money at supermarkets. That buying information was always being sold. Credit Card spending habits, again. Always was being sold.

    This practice of selling information on your buying/browsing habits has been going on forever. And nobody really talked about it before, so again. Nothing different.

    With that said though, I would expect any regulation to encompass any area where your private data is being sold.

    I completely agree. But that is the same for reading the news. Always find other or original sources. And use them as your reference in any discussions.

    One of my favorite set of documents on most in-depth subjects is CRS reports prepared by the Library of Congress for Congress. There are always links to their original sources. Dry as hell to read, but well documented all the way. Wish everything(news especially) would be this well researched and reported on.

    The last two power plants to be built in the US were the Watts Bar plant, which began construction in 1973, was completed in 1990, and didn't begin commercial operation until 1996, and the River Bend plant, which was built in 1977 and went online in 1986.Feb 16, 2010

    Want to explain why it has been over 30 years since we have had a new nuclear plant go online? Could it be regulation, cost overruns due to the timeframe of regulations? Please, do explain why. And no, I did not pull numbers out of my ass. Care to provide a link proving me wrong.
