"Real Time" host Bill Maher took a moment on his show Friday night to slam his Democrat-controlled home state of California and sound the alarm over the "exodus" that is taking place.

"California businesses are leaving the state in droves. In just 2018 and 19, which were economic boom years, 765 commercial facilities left, 13,000 between 2009 and 2016."

He continued, "Look, I came out here in 1983. I found paradise. I love California. I do. I don't want to leave, but I feel like I’m living in Italy in the 70s or something. Super high taxes, potholes in the road, fires. I don’t know what I’m getting for my super-high taxes."

Apart from the Covid crisis, there are more businesses now than ever in the state and the economy is not only #1 in America and #5 in the world ... but growing faster than the nation’s rate as a whole.

Just move Igor. Cheese-whiz what a bunch of adolescent whining you post ...

Simply quoting a liberal.
Could have just as easily been an excerpt straight from the show, which basically it was.

Actually under this president, all 50 states have terrible economies right now. The best performing state has a -20% growth rate. California has a -31% growth rate but Texas is only marginally better at -29%, so if this is Trump's idea of making America great again, heaven help us.

Yes, understood and agreed. But note I wrote in the post: “aside from the current Covid crisis.”

Under this president we've had COVID. I think Woodrow Wilson was the last president to have to deal with something like this on the same scale.
Prior to that, the economy was great. Seems we conveniently forget easily so we don't have to admit the successes of those we disagree with.

In spite of what the fingers-in-the-ear la-la-la crowd might think, it's a lot more than just conservatives, poor people, and retirees that are fleeing California.

OK, my real question is which vehicle manufacturer makes the Drove? The preferred mode of transport by which one can leave CA.
