    I don’t think I have ever known anyone that says so much, but really says almost nothing of substance. It is a skill for sure.

    It is not consistent from a natural POV, but think about corporate personalhood. Clearly Corp is not a person but some legal rights, protection and responsibilities of a person is given to corporations. The fetus is not a person doesn’t exclude it from legal protections and rights enjoyed by a person as long as it doesn’t break existing supreme judgment (Roe and Casey).

    Ps. One day in the future, machine / AI personhood will be a thing.

    I actually think it's good for places like alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi to have abortion bans. Not everyone does well with 21st century mentalities, automation and frustration is coming , abstinence will create less problems for those who don't get this issue.

    Well played Alabama, I see big picture what you are doing in hindsight of all these Californian's flee'ing their state due to insane housing and tax costs.

    Why wouldn't Alabama want an influx of higher iq non-incest spawned humans into their population?

    Why would anyone care about Californians arriving or not arriving in their state?

    Because any recent study specifically aimed at IQ show California below Alabama and damn near last in the country. California also has some of the more relaxed incest laws in the country (Alabama would probably not have any issues with that though)
    https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/...in-all-50-states-results-are-eye-opening.html

    I really do hate when people (usually liberals) bring up any reasoning related to an 'educated' argument. As if things like getting a college degree are always the wiser choice? There are so many worthless liberal arts degrees (or some other worthless degree) being attained in this country at the moment, racking up debt that's essentially impossible for them to pay off because they can't find jobs with their worthless degree. Funny how so many people crying 'Student Debt Relief' are essentially pleading the people who decided to not attend college to now help pay off their own bad choices for attending.

    Lets not forget that "anti-vaxxers" are largely far and away "college educated" individuals. That statement alone should null and void any of these 'more educated' debates.

    I just in general feel it's a poor source for argument.

    Anyways, for the sake of poor argument, California leads nothing in the education department anyways (besides probably spending). Middle of the road at best, and even this new data gem: "According to new data from the Census Bureau, California is the least educated state in America. It ranked number one for the percentage of those over 25-years-old who have never completed ninth grade. Plus, it ranked 50th for the percentage who have graduated from high school." https://www.kusi.com/california-ranked-as-the-least-educated-state-in-the-country/




    People are flee’ing California in mass because it’s unfordable & no longer fiscally viable. California is one of the worst states in fiscal stability. The problem is, these inhabitants flee'ing are entering their new states starting ‘campaigns’ pushing the same policies & agendas that have forced them out of their own state to begin with. They want to vote the same way. Meh, gross California, the land where you can knowingly transmit STDs, where straws are criminalized, and where literal sh/t in the streets gets cleaned away with hoses and chemicals that form toxic runoff.

    Oh yeah the cost of living in CA is definitely high.

    But CA also has a budget surplus so the fiscal stability is at least for the time being pretty solid.

    Straws aren't criminalized they are regulated in order to protect wildlife. The people moving from California don't bring those laws with them. So that isn't relevant. The rest of what you posted also has nothing to do with Californians moving to other places. It might be a reason why you wouldn't want to move to California even though none of those things affect almost any of the Californians that I deal with daily. But if you think that those things would happen to you if you moved here, then they are fine to have as reasons not to move here. But they have zero effect on people in other states where Californians move.

    While short term is about middle of the pack long-term fiscal stability outlook is atrocious and has one of the poorer outlooks of all the states.

    State’s surplus is expected to be dramatically smaller in future years.

    The insanely high tax's for all that can give a short-term surplus make it a poor place for business and a poor place to live as it's unsustainable thus the migration in mass out. That inevitably has repercussions.

    I will disagree that California isn't able to attract businesses. Again that has nothing to do with people who are moving into another state.

    You're unable to attract business if you're ranked 50th out of all 50 states in new business creation... I wonder why California is? Maybe some of these :

    - One of the highest corporate income tax rates while having the highest minimum corporate tax in the nation
    - Only state where a corporation must pay money to the state even if a corporation makes zero profit
    - Highest state income tax rate in the nation
    - Highest sales tax rate in the nation
    - For those service industries/businesses: California has one of the highest gas taxes, carbon emission taxes, has the most expensive traffic tickets, & those high insurance premiums smh

    the list goes on and on and on

    Anyways,

    Chief Executive magazine's annual best and worst states for business survery has California ranked dead last.. for 2 years in a row now
    https://chiefexecutive.net/2019-best-worst-for-states-business/

    On top, CEO's rank California worst for business in the entire country:
    "In its sixth annual report, CEO Magazine reported the results of its survey of over 650 chief executive officers regarding how all 50 states rank as to its business conditions. This is not a predetermined result based on uncontrollable factors, but is the result of leadership and policy issues that are avoidable."

    Are you seriously comparing industry and commerce in Alabama to California? Do you seriously believe that Alabama has a brighter commercial future than Alabama?

    And yet the businesses headquartered here in CA are some of the largest and most powerful in the world. To go off what @Nook posted, I don't have a problem putting California's businesses up against Alabama's when it comes to positive economic impact.

    Not Cersei. If she would have got them as promised from the golden company maybe things would have been different.
