Sedan_clan has multiple valid reasons for deciding to move to Arizona. I'm just saying that AB 2088 should probably not be a key reason because it only affects the super rich.
Thanks for that bro! AB 2088 was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. It’s the last thing on a long list of reasons why I want out, but the principle behind the proposal just infuriates me. I never planned to retire here anyway, so I’m just making the moves 14-ish years before I officially punch out.

When you do start drawing retirement on funds you earned while in Cali, you will be responsible to FTB. (I think).

Gavin just promised he was going to reduce red tape and make the infrastructure and homeless issues a thing of the past. You aren't going to stick around???

It's the ish part that makes me smile. I can imagine the citizen calling the Barstow CHP to let them know they saw a Chalk Gray Porsche headed toward Nevada on I-15 going really really fast. Barstow CHP replies, no worries, that's just Mr. Clan headed home from work.

Hahaha! That is hilarious. Thankfully the 992 isn’t ever driven to work. My low-key Corolla is my commuter and it’s inconspicuous as hell. I made it from Henderson, NV to Rancho Cucamonga, CA tonight in 3 hours flat. Such an easy drive!!!

One tech was all proud, showing off her new multi-color Nikes.
"Did we forget the Chief's ceremony today?"

I'm all in grey, with the IT logo shirt. Oh, and I actually shaved . . .

7.5?

CA taking a play out of the communist ANC playbook I see. You want to leave this fine Country like South Africa or CA in this case. You leave with the clothes on your back..everything else is claimed by The Party.

Latest IE Use of Force issue: Activists are screaming for BOTH officers' jobs/heads. The one officer simply stood there detaining the male.

I still think the female recording threw the first punch, then got all mouthy that she couldn't be detained. Then she certainly resisted.

I’ve been following this one closely. Both were robbery suspects who also assaulted a store employee, so that affects the state of mind of the Deputies involved. The fact that one of the suspects was/is a woman who is allegedly sick with cancer is irrelevant. It didn’t stop her from committing criminal acts so she isn’t immune from being subjected to force either. It annoys me that some people/critics are using her gender/medical condition to effectively give her a pass for her actions.

Oh, so there ARE details from before the camera started rolling. I told my wife as much, and she just walked away when I stated the lady was resisting and only showed right then. No idea what went on before.

This is one crazy Police chase, but after he finally catches the speeder, this white cop says to the black Camaro driver "Get your Monkey ass over here" at the 12:39 mark.
I mean............damn. This wont last long on YouTube.

it's definitely monkey ass, now whether or not it was meant to be a racist statement or it came out because he was crawling through a window I can't say. Regardless, it's not going to go over well.
