Yet…

But seriously, you know it’s going to be a factor. California no longer has the clout to be the tail that wags the dog. Look at all the Californians fleeing to other states.



No, not every job is transferable, but for much of aviation related activity, living in California is a choice. One they don’t HAVE to make.

Yea, and tons of people also choose to live here. It is an awesome place, that has problems like any other state with major cities. It is still a very important place with lots of demand for airline flying. The FA lawsuit ruling is super unfortunate and near sided. I hope it will be rectified.

The “lawsuit ruling” simply says the California law is legal. California politicians can change it any time they want. Except it’s doubtful they would ever want to. Too few people adversely affected in too few industries to modify the law. Easier to let a few thousand jobs go elsewhere.

You are insinuating that the law is the reason for the base closure. And not American's staffing issues combined with a diminished presence in SF.

Ah, statistics ….

With almost 40 million people, of course California will lead the country in many categories, looking at raw numbers. But that hardly tells the whole story.

Taking population into account, California actually lags other high tax, liberal commie socialist strongholds like
Louisiana, West Virginia, Nebraska and Indiana, and is one percent of radical leftie Iowa.

Source is Atlas Van Lines…no dog in the fight, don’t want to ruin anyone’s narrative.

I’ve been telling everyone to stay away for decades … yet traffic continues to worsen and property values continue to rise.

Tell the US Census. Because they believe California actually lost population.



Or perhaps you can get Atlas Van Lines to tell them. Now there is an authoritative source.


Maybe they’ll give back the Congressional District too:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California, for decades a symbol of boundless growth and opportunity that attracted people from across the country and abroad, has seen its population growth stall and is losing a U.S. House seat for the first time in its 170-year history.

Census Bureau population data released Monday is used to determine how the nation’s 435 House seats are allocated. California remains the most populous by far with nearly 39.58 million people but it is growing more slowly than other states and will see its House delegation drop from 53 to 52.

California’s population grew by about 2.3 million people since the 2010 Census but has been nearly flat since 2017.

I always laugh at conservative wish casting.

Cherry picking pandemic population numbers. Everyone took their Work From Home salaries and ran. That surely proves your point that California's collapse is imminent.

Nevermind that some have already moved back. But don't let reality stand in your way.

Pretty sure the only “conservative wish casting” in all the other states is that Cali gets its shizzle together so they DO migrate back.
