Great topic...!
Californians from the 1800s up until the effeminate [[[Hippy and Women's Lib Generation]]] took over....would have simply shot the coyote dead.
Those people were much more connected to the harsh realities of life.
If you look at a Baseball Almanac from back then the vast majority of players listed hunting and fishing as hobbies.

Sounds like Bud Grant, former MN Vikings coach…

He was a great motivator whose players would run through a brick wall for.
He could have been a great leader in government if he wanted.

California's weather and coastline / High Sierra lifestyle is why California is the most desirable place to live for the wealthy.
For the average person California has become the most likely place in the USA you will want to flee from.

George Wallace called you a pseudo-intellectual.....how could he know?

He put Clarabelle the Clairvoyant to shame with that future prediction.

Is Texas a separate reality than California reality both existing in series parallel time? Simple yes or no question, not asking true or false, right or wrong, moral or illegal or current economic status.

Dropping in California. They have many natural advantages and they are ruining California anyway.

More and more people are leaving blue states. They simply can't afford socialism.

How about THESE numbers, dickhead?:
California exodus: People relocated to these states the most in 2025
By Alexa Mae Asperin  January 9, 2026
 
Current rankingsWhat we know:The U-Haul Growth Index, a key gauge of resident movement, shows that Texas has reclaimed its title as the number one growth state in the country. Arrivals in Texas accounted for 50.7% of all one-way traffic in the state, according to the latest data. Following Texas in the top five are Florida, North CarolinaTennessee, and South Carolina.In contrast, California saw more people leaving via one-way trucks, trailers, and boxes than any other state. While the Golden State saw a slightly smaller net loss compared to 2024, it remains at the bottom of the rankings for the sixth year in a row as residents look for more affordable regions. Joining California in the bottom five are MassachusettsNew York, New Jersey, and Illinois. The data indicates that Southern states are successfully attracting residents, with eight of the top 10 growth states located in the South.
Do those numbers bother liberals at all, Eggplant?  So how many Congressional seats are you losing now?
Got the blues: NY, California will lose a combined 6 House seats after 2030, census figures analysis shows
By Carl Campanile and Alex Oliveira Jan. 27, 2026

It’s the blue state blues. Democratic strongholds New York and California are expected to lose a massive amount of DC voting power after 2030 as hundreds of thousands of residents flee high costs driven by decades of lefty policy-making, experts and a shocking new study said. New York and California could each lose nearly 10% of their congressional representation after the next US Census is conducted in 2030 – with the Empire State poised to lose two seats and Cali expected to drop four, according to a new analysis of census numbers from the Redistricting Network that showed both state populations shrinking or stagnating.
No wonder you're trying to spin away their moribund decay and the mass exodus you're facing!

You aren't intelligent enough to realize that California has several built in advantages over Texas that make it a more desirable place to live for the wealthy.
Regardless of how poorly California is run.
If you WERE more intelligent you wouldn't need me to explain this for you.
