    I guess if you know nothing about supply and demand in terms of pricing labor, that would be true.

    Swing and a miss. I get it, you no answer for CA's high unemployment compared to FL's. Oh well. Tough one.

    Maybe a clarification would help. California has more personal freedom in a lot of respects but less economic freedom. As an example and unlike what will probably be the case in every red state, most politicians in California are not obsessed with interfering in the doctor-patient relationship.

    So why do you think Florida has a lower unemployment rate and $20K less in median household income?

    So people are willing to pay huge amounts for housing to live there, but they are "screwed?" How so?

    Less taxes, so less median household income needed. Less cost of living, less wages needed. But you know that as well. It's amazing, you sound so for CA, yet people are leaving CA in droves. I don't get it. All those people must be dumb i guess.

    Okay, so your argument is that people in California need a 35% higher household income to make up for 4.4% higher taxes? Can you do that math for me?

    I see you didn't include housing in there. Man, you make such a compelling argument for CA. I wonder why everyone isn't moving there? Hmmm. Why did more people leave CA last year than go to CA? Since it's so much better than FL, FL must be losing people year over year, right? I mean, since you are so smart, there must be an answer. Wonder what it is LOL.

    I’m not rooting for smog. Just saying I’m sure it’s still exists.

    I am not a fan of state versus state political advertising, no matter the party. That said, California has near zero chance of turning red in the next decade or two. Not sure it's a wise investment for Newsome but he has little to lose outside of money.

    Cool, let's talk about housing. So since you said everybody is trying to get out of the state, housing prices must be declining right? I mean, if you have lower demand for a product and a constant or growing supply, that would mean the price should go down, right?
