Sorry to hear that.

You do realize that California is not an administrative subdivision of Oregon, but a completely different state, right?

[systemvoltage]

No, I didn't know California was a separate entity. But, what I know is that it is worse than Oregon.

Instead of HN constantly defending California, I want us to take a hard look at what's wrong with this state and improve it; but I see a bad future and looking out for myself. I want California to be the best place on the planet to live. It is regressing at an ever increasing pace. I was talking to a SaksFifth employee in SF – he is working there since 1995. I talked to him for good 30 mins talking about how things were in Bay Area specifically. It is night and day compared to 90's.

Are you able to mention some of the things he said?

It's required on HN for rich tech guys to threaten this from time to time.

[azth]

Quite presumptuous of you to assume that.

You can check the HN guidelines, it’s right there:

In the context of divorce court fucking over men, California is by and far the worst in the country.
