Who did RD piss off....

"The study gave Arizona an "F" grade in life, health and inclusion. It also gave "D" grades in the area of education, cost of living, and access to capital.
There were no strengths in Arizona that ranked in the top 50% of those measured."

And this is a surprise to anyone Why exactly?? 🤣

Arizona is closed. Enjoy your Arizona-like temperatures and the inlanders swarming the beaches to get away from the heat

Arizona like temps? I don't think so.

Ol MMD lives in AZ now. That's why he changed his name to whatexit and thinks he's all big time and shit! 😁

But I'm picking up what you're throwing down as well. 😉
Is that code for slinging shit?😂

I was in Cali Thursday went to a sandwich shop and was told to eat outside because I didn't have a vaccinations card. Good thing was, it was nice outside. California is a shithole and ran by dickheads.
Vax card? I would’ve left. Fk them.

My daughter works at Lululemon...

They just walk in all casual like and walk out the exact same way. No running involved.

Every garmet has a series number though. When they try and return it with no receipt, it doesn't work out so well for them. 😝

Insanity that this is the cost of doing business.

What to do this weekend?

- Pomona hot rod car show
- Snowboarding
- Dirtbike riding
- Supercross
- King of the Hammers
- Golf
- Surf

All within 1.5 hours from each other.

I love it here! Y’all can keep moving out :)

Do you surf? Do you snowboard? Where can you ride a dirt bike any more?

I got sick of f-f-f-freezing wetsuit water, crowds at the snowboard lifts, and having to drive too far to ride a dirt bike...

...And having to fake my smog certificates, and lie about the guns I own. And then having to pay outrageous amounts of my income to pay for the bureaucracies that make it illegal for me to do those things.

BUT I kept two houses there. One is paid for so I go any time I like and enjoy the cold water (because I actually do surf), and the crowding. The other is not paid for but the it's rented out to some suckers who are willing to pay insane rent for it, so no need to sell.

Not paying income taxes pays for all the fun I need in SoCal, and then some.

Golf?! Srsly?

So what your saying is California helps support the lifestyle you love?

Sounds like a good reason to hate the place to me!

No I don’t. I just like to post about it and pretend. Lol

Peter will dismantle most of the members here :).

Nah. Not looking get into yet another in the litany of bashes on CA. It's just that it's unusual for a native to still so enthusiastic about SoCal after having grown up and watched how it has changed... IME, the kind of people who are that enthusiastic are often people from somewhere else, who have not seen it like it used to be and watched how far it has fallen.

So I asked a couple of leading questions to see if I could suss out which he was.

For me, as with others, the things about it that I used to love are either off limits, or too risky to continue committing crime and fraud to continue with, and as with countless others, I've reached a phase in life where my income is too valuable to just sit by and let it be taken, for less liberty than there used to be. That was fine at 22 when I wasn't making anything to take, and there was way more liberty, and the future was too far away to matter. And it's not like the people leaving to preserve their assets and gain back a little lost liberty are leaving faster than the state is growing.

So what your saying is California helps support the lifestyle you love?

Not quite. Some out of stater family who made it big wherever they came from, and can afford to rent our little bungalow helps support that "lifestyle". Even at that, I don't get out much. Mostly to visit my mother. After a lifetime of surfing freezing water that smells like kelp soup, staying between the flags, don't you know, now having to load bikes in a truck to ride, I made some work related choices that take me out to Hawaii more than SoCal. I still have a rack of wetsuits gathering dust at my mom's house.

Nah. Not looking get into a bash fest on CA. It's just that it's unusual for a native to still so enthusiastic about SoCal after having grown up and watched how it has changed... In more bad ways than good. IME, the kind of people who are that enthusiastic are often people from somewhere else, who have not seen it like it used to be and watched how far it has fallen.

There is always someone form Kansas or Iowa who made it big in drywall, moving out to add to the crowd.

No worries born and raised and still enjoying all SoCal has to offer. Yeah it’s changed but I didn’t stop me and my family from doing all the same things I did growing up. Moto, surf, snowboard, fish, camp and enjoy the weather!

I was born and raised here.

Where I surf there are no flags. Where I dirtbike we ride hundred of miles of unfucked single track. It’s nothing shy of epic, you’d think you’re in Costa Rica. Don’t snowboard on holiday weekends and if you do expect a wait in order to get on a lift. I’ve been to Jackson Hole, I’ve been to Whitefish, guess what? You’re waiting there on a holiday weekend as well.

Party on, Garth.

Born and raised and left thinking pastures were greener in AZ.....some things are cheaper but definitely not Cali....most states are changing; the entire country is shifting Left or Blue or being California'd. You may move further north somewhere like Montana and or Idaho...you are just prolonging the change, but AZ, NV, and Texas are are already blue or turning and changing from what they were 20 years ago...I see it first hand in those states....So I never say never, but having done it prior, not looking to try and run from democratic ways as they exist everywhere....I would rather deal with the Political Left Shift with better weather...

Hour and 40 minutes and I’ll be in San Diego. LOF spends three times that much time in the Speed thread everyday. Lol

At 6:30 AM 😂😂 thanks for proving our point.

I noticed you didn’t post how long it will take you to get back either.. or will you wait until 8PM to come home when traffic dies down?

I don’t have to waste 4+ hours of my life commuting to do bullshit and dodging traffic except when I visit. 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun!!!

FYI I used to do that commute 4x a week. And could do it in 90 mins leaving at 8:30 AM. No way in hell would that happen today.

Again that’s your fault for the job you chose! So again you prove our point.

I do outside sales if I’m in traffic it’s my fault! Either I didn’t leave early enough or late enough!
I just had this conversation with a superintendent today he commutes from OC to valley center in San Diego every day and says he never deals with traffic.

What point is that? You get to enjoy the great weather from behind your windsheild? Enjoy!

My commute to the lake this AM was 10 mins 😂

Put yourself in the same position you do in the speed thread. You’re all rainbows in a thread about a car that’s 2yrs late! In here in a thread about state you left your like a gray cloud! You’re being the “hater”!


Take your nonsense back the the gloom and doom housing thread and the unicorn car thread.

Meanwhile I’ll enjoy my view for lunch!
