In other words, people are moving away in huge numbers when they retire, due to the high cost of living. Given the fantastic weather in California, this is particularly noteworthy - many people move to get better weather when they retire, but that's clearly not the key consideration here.
Did you know that a smaller percentage of retirees leave California than other states. We are #1 across all demographics when it comes to retaining population.
Again, if you live in California, you less likely to move away than the residents of any other state in the US. That's the one statistic that makes the entire argument nothing more than wishful thinking from jealous flyover populations. Why is the rest of the country so focused - so obsessed - with California and how we do things? Nobody's asking you to come here.
Collectively, this suggests California is a very bad place to be for those on a low income, and these people are probably moving away in large numbers to places where the cost of living is lower, but being replaced by people with higher incomes or other forms of support (such as an extended family where people take care of each other).
You are correct. We are a state with a lot of successful people. If you can't make it here, there's always shithole states like Texas.
Even with high incomes, a lot of technical folks that move to California are sharing a rental, not owning a home.
You make the mistake of confusing the Bay Area with all of California. It's a big place. There are places that are expensive and places that are not expensive. SF skews the numbers. Personally, I have found that living here is cheaper than living in Houston.
As the saying goes, California would be a fantastic place to live if it weren't for the government and most of the existing population.
See, this is what I mean. There is a bitterness that the rest of the US feels toward California. Envy is a monster.
The headline is misleading. They just wanted to focus on a 25% that seemed structurally important and therefore "hard", but the next 25% is also "structural" for advanced democracies whose citizens, for example, enjoy their morning latte with a newspaper before catching a cab to work in a highrise office tower, and the remaining 50% is "structural" for global corporations needing to make quarterly growth targets. Maybe in all that you could arm-twist a total 10% that is not important enough to some stakeholder that they wouldn't deliberatively implode the global economy as punishment for touching their important shit, but honestly the other 90% represents a set of sacred cows that nobody is going to molest until there is sea water sloshing around feet deep at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway in Manhattan. Until then, all searches for a solution will have been an illusion.
That's not really what the article said, but OK. Fact is, many of those "sacred cows" are already in danger. Fifteen years ago, nobody could have predicted the precipitous fall of Big Coal, which is now about as popular as the tobacco industry (another sacred cow that has been all but wiped from certain parts of the globe).
I'm optimistic. Dumbfucks won't rule the world forever.
At least Trump hits much hotter women than Bill Clinton ever did.
It cost him $130,000 to hit a stretched-out porn star who has done interracial scenes, which is surprising, since I always thought Trump hates following a black guy.
Ignoring for a moment whatever we make think of Google and their evil, stalky ways, having more companies involved in cloud gaming can only be a good thing for gamers.
I've been a beta user of GeForce NOW for about four months, and it's spectacular. I can play the latest AAA games on an old potato with everything on ultra and it's perfect. I can use a MacBook pro to play games that have never been released for Mac. The idea of upgrading my gaming PC every year or two may be a thing of the past. It uses a lot of bandwidth, and it remains to be seen how killing off Net Neutrality will impact cloud gaming, but this game streaming stuff is as revolutionary as when we went from floppy disks to DVDs or from DVDs to Steam.
I think the census info in the articles I provided is likely more accurate than your random site.
You would think so, except for one thing. The CNBC reporter, who is a guy named Jeff Daniels (a former entertainment reporter and GOP "consultant") makes his living writing poorly-sourced and misleading articles about California. You can check this for yourself. Also, because there is a big problem with using net population numbers instead of percentages: California is the most populous state in the United States. One in every eight Americans lives in California.
And if you get inside those "census numbers", you will see something very interesting. Did you know what state is second in people moving out? Texas. That's right, during the same decade when 3.5 million Californians moved elsewhere, 2.5 million Texans also moved elsewhere (according to last census). And yet BOTH STATES GAINED POPULATION. Do you know why this is? Because people in the United States move around. That's what we do. People move in people move out. But one thing is definite: If you rank all the states by how likely people are to move away, California ranks dead last. That's correct. People are less likely to leave California than any other state in the US.
I'm going to repeat that again for you: California residents are less likely to move out of the state than residents of any other state in the US.
The size of your economy should be helping you with all of those folks living on your streets, but apparently that's not working out so well.
My favorite thing is when people from flyover states like to imagine California as this giant homeless camp. I assure you, that is not the case. California is nearly 40 MILLION people, spread over 100 million acres. All beautiful.
And did you know that there are more homeless in Houston than San Francisco? And, they cause much bigger problems.
But don't worry, it's only about 134,000 people as of 2017 (up 13.7% from the year before)
Did you know the number of homeless people in Dallas has jumped 23% in the same time period? The hard truth is, homelessness is increasing at a greater rate nationally than it is in California.
But by all means, spread the word that California is a hell-hole. Nobody should come here. If I was the last person who moved to California (when I came here from Houston last year), that would suit me just fine. Now excuse me, I'm going to go surf at Pismo Beach.
There are too many people in California. It is helpful that some leave.
Also, we just went from the 7th largest economy in the world to the 5th largest economy in the world.
And, the number of people who have left is about 100,000. There are 39.54 MILLION people living in California. However, and for some reason, this is not discussed in any of those articles, based on the same op-ed, that you cited: THE POPULATION OF CALIFORNIA IS STILL GROWING. That means people are still coming here in far greater numbers than those who leave. So in the past year alone, 250,000 people decided it was worth it to move to California. And judging from the looks of things in my little corner, they are doing pretty darn well.
Privacy from Uncle Sam / Emperor Xi / Tsar Vladimir / your local authoritarian government.... yeah, not so much.
OK, but what do you do when, as is the case in the US, the government is also the rando internet troll?
Do you insist on privacy being "an illusion" when the trolls are in charge? Or do you do what California is doing and demand privacy protections enacted into law? It is a conundrum, ain't it?
Sorry, out of mod points, but I agree 100%. Since time immemorial (or at least the ARPANet days) anything linked to, posted on, or traversing the public network was just that, PUBLIC. Any appearance of a guarantee of privacy for anything you type on a network-connected device just contributes to your delusion.
Wait, I assume you believe that includes your phone calls. Because they're probably traveling over the same public network, or through the public airwaves.
Fuck "most Americans". They've already proven they're a little less aware than flatworms, and can't be trusted with self-government. Thank goodness we have an Electoral College to keep us from making any big mistakes, right?
I'm not falling for it. If I had $10,000, I'd buy an eight-ball and head to Vegas. Hit up the blackjack tables, maybe see a show. Go to the Palomino Club and try to catch a venereal disease. At least I'd have some good memories when it was over. Those poor dudes who deliver Amazon parcels to my house look miserable.
But in reality, the DDoS attacks have no ties to Russia, weren't even planned to in the first place, and the group behind the attacks denounced being Russian, to begin with.
I'm not sure which language this was translated to English from, but my guess is Russian.
Wapo election prognostication... You people really never learn do you?
Wapo election prognostication... You people really never learn do you?
Well, in this case, the Wapo election prognostication is from 2007, and they were talking about the 2006 election, when Republicans were swept out of power. So I suppose you can say that it was prognostication in reverse, or maybe, just pointing out what had already happened.
You're going to have to understand how time works. See, 2007 will almost always come after 2006 and before 2008. And in case you have learned history from Breitbart, you may not know that the 2006 election resulted in a sweeping victory for the Democratic Party which captured control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and won a majority of governorships and state legislatures from the Republican Party. And 2008 just added to those majorities, and included the election of a black president with the middle-name "Hussein". See, that's how far the pendulum swings, and it's already swinging back again.
So far, the petition has signatures from 172 representatives, all Democrats.
Best believe a reckoning is coming. I'm old enough to remember when the Republicans thought they had a "permanent majority" They were swept out thanks to their own overreach.
