I didn’t say you should leave, I asked why you live here.
The fact is there are 49 other states and surely one of them is closer to your ideals. Why don’t you live there?
I know a family right now who is not happy with CA so they are moving to the Texas coast. They are taking action on their dissatisfaction. Personally I think they’ll find a whole nuther set of things to be unhappy about, but maybe not.
I think it was Will Rogers who said most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be.[/quote]
Austin and Dallas ain’t bad. But they ain’t exactly cheap living there now too. I kinda like it when I was there a few times. I dunno but I somehow always end up with a lot of friends from Texas, maybe being born and lived there had something to do with it. Hey, maybe that explains it. Maybe I really do have a cousin named Bubba with a missing front tooth. That would be awesome. Yeeehaw!
CoronitaParticipant[quote=AN][quote=flu][quote=AN][quote=DumpsterDiver]Excellent so one year after this thread. Looking at the graphs the differences between 2009 to the end of 2011 looked pretty marginal? Looks like the time this thread took place was a spectacular time to buy as the rocket ship launched again early 2012. Any way to reach out to the participants? Would be great to hear how they all fared.[/quote]I bought my primary residence on Christmas eve 2008. It essentially stayed flat for the next 4 years. Which means, I was saving $ every month because my PITI – tax deduction was less than comparable rent. Then it sky rocket (it’s now almost 2x the price). All the while, mortgage rate keeps on dropping. I’m about to refi again at no cost for 3.125%. My new PITI will be less than rent of a 2 bedroom apartment nearby. No longer count tax deduction since the now crazy high standard deduction.
I just had to deal w/ living in a non-neighborhood with lots of lizards and walls.[/quote]

Yeah yeah I admit. I was wrong about Santee. It’s actually pretty nice up on the hills. I got a friend that has a ridiculous gated private house sitting on an acre with an awesome view. Plus only 15 minutes to La Jolla, lol.

yes.
Lots of people should leave california. For a lot of people, it no longer financially makes sense to stay in CA. Certainly if you a minimum wage worker, you would be far better off in another state, where your dollars would go a lot longer way and there wouldn’t be such a long waiting period for government help. That’s just reality. Some people want to point the problem at the state government . Some people are pointing the fingers at wealth inequality. It’s a combination of the two probably where it’s probably much harder for someone starting out to succeed here in CA then it is for those that’s been here some time and have a significant investment in some of the expensive assets in this state. Housing is a good example. Home prices are expensive here and so is rent prices . someone in minimum wage will have a tough lifestyle here and struggle a lot. Meanwhile, homeowners get the protection of a low prop tax and have equity to play with. Also CA tends to reward people typically who have the higher paid careers versus other states, whereas people who are minimum wage workers need to find lower cost places in US where then can have a decent lifestyle. Most of CA isn’t it.
That’s what there’s some migration in to this state and others migrating out. Incoming folks tend to be professionals from Jersey and Illinois. There was an dozen of articles about this.CoronitaParticipantWow, talk about a resurrected thread from ages ago. I forgot about this one.
Bro, what’s up with the dumpster diving?
CoronitaParticipantLooks like I’ll be buying more 2021 AMD calls.
Lisa Su has spoken.
1. Revenue guidance is unchanged despite coronavirus
2. RDNA2 architecture for graphics card launching this year , hopefully finally making it Nvidia competitive
3. Zen 3 desktop cpu launching this year
4. Epyc Milan server cpu launching launching this year, and will be featured in Livermore Lab’s El Capitan server
5. Intel went on record they won’t have a competitive 7nm product until 2021
https://finance.yahoo.com/m/6769704c-70ce-38fe-9b0f-5dfb576ad6fe/hpe-amd-sign-600m-contract.html
Intel “outside” lol.
“Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. have signed a $600 million contract to build the world’s most powerful supercomputer for the U.S. Department of Energy to test nuclear weapons, the three entities announced Wednesday.
The supercomputer, named El Capitan, is expected to ship in early 2023 with peak performance speeds of two exaFLOPS, or 2 quintillion calculations per second — 10 times faster than today’s most powerful supercomputer, and faster than the 200 fastest supercomputers in the world combined, the groups said at a press conference hosted at HPE’s North San Jose headquarters.”
CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo]Ok now that everyone is maximally stocked on costco items, when will their next shopping trip take place…[/quote]
I think before you ask that question, first ask what were these hoarders buying and which company owns those brands and and have those companies reported their earningd yet…
Clorox and Pampers (also out of stock) comes to mind. And that’s owned by Procter and Gamble. And who makes a lot of masks and filtering products. 3M comes to mind.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte][quote=FlyerInHi]spdrun, maybe you should be for UBI instead of expanding the social safety net.
You could take your UBI and spend it in Prague.
However, i’m sure UBI would for US residents only and there would be a limit on how long you could be away.
People who manage their money well could save the UBI and invest it to grow their wealth.With automation and AI, UBI will become necessary at some point. Or some kind of paid national service, perhaps. Andrew Yang will be seen as a visionary.

What is so funny about your whole approach to things Brian is that you really express Ayn Rand’s objectivist point of view. What’s good for me is good for society.
Yet you profess to be a Democrat.[/quote]
Ouch. Lol
