"B-but everyone is leaving California!!1!"

To the people saying this: yeah, dream on. Step away from the hard right-wing media and look around. It's a myth.

Yes there are some people leaving the state for places like Texas and Florida (sorry, but fuck knows why!). But there are still a ton of people here in CA, there are still people moving here, and there are still kids being born here. We are a loooong way from a mass exodus of economy crippling proportions.

Yeah, as a Californian the "mass exodus" propaganda was hilarious.
