Being miserable online is a part time job for some. I just choose not to be, you can have at it.

California has the highest taxes, the most wacko leftist policies, out of whack home values, filth, homeless taking over the streets, and public drug use, yet people keep flocking there and the policies get even more nutty. We can complain all we want to but California will be just fine this time too and people will continue to flock there. Californians deserve California. Live and let live. Keep all the leftist nut jobs concentrated in one place I say.

But what's truly funny is the most leftist, woke airline of them all is complaining about California's leftist policies and threatening to leave CA over them.
Thats because what AS promotes isn’t ideologically driven. It’s performance art for their customer base and certain employee groups.

Because the state is blessed with arguably the best climate in the entire nation, and some of the most spectacular scenery and outdoor activities available in the country it continues to draw in people, although the business climate does seem to be slowly shifting out of state.

After living in California for years, I realized it is the land of dichotomies....You have some of the most privileged, wealthy people who go to great lengths to make sure nothing in their little slice of CA changes. It's like they experience great guilt in the opulence in which they lead their daily lives so they vote in policies that they think will "help" all the lesser people. We all know how much of the govt "help" destroys rather than builds lives. They have their own private security and even fire services, so if other peoples houses are burglarized and/or burnt due to bad policy, well so be it.

Coastal elites buy and drive Teslas and BMW's while sharing the freeway with millions of people who flock across the border daily/monthly/yearly belching smog to do all the real work. They live in an artificial cocoon world where they all hear the same things and repeat the same ideas to each other at cocktail parties.

Like the nation, by land mass, much of CA is actually quite conservative, but alas they are heavily outweighed by the echo chambers of the city/coastal elite politics.

Bottom line though, a few airline bases in CA will not make or break the CA economy. I'm sure there are some people who would love to de-hub CA airports anyway. Better for claiming a green economy improvement.

AS hardly goes anywhere but SEA from CA anyways. Just ask any SFO or LAX based crew, the first stop is always SEA haha.
