Newsom always steps up when it's needed, I love him for that and other things

Sounds like a good speech

Minimum wage across the state of CA is $16.90. That pencils out to $35k and some change or $2,929 a month for a full time employee. Per AI the threshold for a single person to qualify for medi-cal is $1,836. Cortese' math in paragraph 3 doesn't seem to be mathing.

"A cashier, warehouse worker, caregiver, food service employee or retail clerk works full time for a company worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. Yet because their wages are too low or employer-sponsored coverage is unaffordable, they qualify for Medi-Cal."

I read it opposite of you.

California is one of the worst states someone can move to in 2026, according to the latest report from ConsumerAffairs. https://t.co/pD9GEHivF5 pic.twitter.com/ZHvMnB980f

Well, it keeps the riff raff out.

Only high class people only.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

No it doesn't lmao. Feel free to look on our streets and in our jails.

Newsom really f*cked us

Moved up 5 places to #42

Just change the columns to states in high demand because the weather and lifestyle are good vs. the opposite and you'd get 80% the same result.

Showing even more so how badly Newsom ran us into a hole.

Clearly a lot of people and businesses don't agree with you there

Payroll growth by state since just before COVID shutdowns, & the best growers are all red. Strip out health care & the median Harris state has zero job growth since early 2020. pic.twitter.com/G529j72e0K

The Golden State isn't for everyone.
You need to make a lot of money to live here.
But there is a good reason why Silicon Valley is in CA and nowhere else.

Thank You University of California for making dreams come true!

Why did you leave? Oregon is amazing

I may be proven wrong but I legit feel like we got out of Oregon just barely in time.

I enjoy visiting Southern Oregon very much. Can't speak to the rest of the state, but I enjoy my time when I'm there. I can't speak to what the issues are with living there though, but I definitely thought during our last visit that if for some reason I had to move from California, that area would be a nice alternative.

Would love to hear your thoughts on what made you want to leave.

I agree with you, southern Oregon is special. so is the coast

I had neighbors who retired from Amgen a few years ago and bought a second home in Ashland, Oregon. They really loved the Shakespeare Theater Festival that runs for 7-months across three theaters and the cultural scene.

A year ago they sold their home here and moved up to Ashland permanently.

FYI

Ashland, Oregon, is a city in the Rogue Valley known for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Southern Oregon University, and its vibrant arts scene, nestled at the base of the Siskiyou and Cascade mountains near the California border. It's a cultural hub with galleries, theaters, and restaurants, attracting tourists with its outdoor recreation, including nearby Mt. Ashland Ski Park, Lithia Park, and access to the Rogue River. The city has a progressive, outdoorsy, and artistic character, with a history as a railroad and resort town that revitalized around its cultural institutions.

I am visiting the coast around Florence, Oregon, this week. The coast is nice.

what do those numbers mean, and where did you get them?

Thanks in advance

Imagine the picture if Newsom hadn't closed 3-4 prisons. More repeat felons locked up, safer streets, but less money for illegal immigrants.

Well, their new extravagant Capitol expansion includes private, secure entry / exits, so Democrat Socialists don't have to answer reporters questions after ridiculous votes.
