I'm waiting for it to snap off and sink.It’s the earth trying to get the general population of California to wake the **** up...
Ummm,Ok maybe its just me----But 7.1 is considered a major earthquake. Or so I thought. Heck the one that hit SF during the World Series was a 6.9one just rolled through Goleta CA.
Rolled for awhile. Having a beer out on the patio now.
Apparently a 7.1 in Ridgecrest. Hope the is not a fore shock for the big one
7.1 is the biggest in the continental US since 1992.Ummm,Ok maybe its just me----But 7.1 is considered a major earthquake. Or so I thought. Heck the one that hit SF during the World Series was a 6.9
So, what am I missing here?
To visit .....sure. To live. **** no. Population of weirdos.Does anyone like California.? It gets ragged on hard here.
San Diego is a great city. A lot cooler than the rest of the state with people that aren't nearly as superficial.I've heard San Diego is awesome. I'm not really that scared of people different form me so I would have no issues living there if I could afford it.

The climate is great, very mild all year. It's not the place for year-round sunshine like most people think though, it's overcast and foggy quite a bit. Not too different from San Fran.Yeah, I've heard the weather is awesome.

I think regular people look at California as a great land with endless opportunities for greatness that is being run into the ground by horrible leadership. I don't think it is a full representation of the people of California. But it is no wonder why people are leaving California by the thousands. That said, I think hate is a strong word here. Anyone who hates California doesn't have to live/visit there. I would love to visit despite my opposing views.People who are all regional and small town and hate anyone different than they are hate CA.
Regular people look at CA like normal people... a place that has strengths and weaknesses, as any place that is so huge and populated would be, including every place every person here lives.

I in no way find it okay to mock people who are affected by disasters regardless.
I visited in 14, loved it. Going back soon.Hating California is a “thing”, especially among people who have never been there. Not sure why. Some people just love to hate.
Glad that my family and friends who live there are okay. My cousin in LA just had his first baby two weeks ago, and I have my fingers crossed that the earth will calm down.
Jealousy is tough for some. The weather, women, and things to do are endless here. I have 2 MLB programs within 10 miles of each other, an NBA team, NFL as well. Along with beautiful scenery from half moon bay up the pacific to SF and North Bay (Sausalito, Sonoma, Napa) it never gets below 55 degrees here and never gets over 80 degrees. The weather is unmatched. Great culture,Hating California is a “thing”, especially among people who have never been there. Not sure why. Some people just love to hate.

People hating California has zero to do with land, weather, temperature, days of sunshine, mountains, oceans. I'd guess its mainly politics and how absurdly poorly its ran by their elected officialsHating California is a “thing”, especially among people who have never been there. Not sure why.

I just don’t see how it affects other people living out of state? I don’t really think of Alabama or Georgia, but their politics are that of the dark ages. Doesn’t make me hate the state.People hating California has zero to do with land, weather, temperature, days of sunshine, mountains, oceans.

Like I said---people don't hate the state at all----they just seem to have a strong dislike for some of the people there.......unless they have some strange redwood phobiaI just don’t see how it affects other people living out of state?

Yes----like I said, politics and how poorly the state is run.See, I find that odd though. Do you really know the names of more than a single elected official there, or maybe two? Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown. That’s it. And let’s be honest, nobody outside of California really knows very much about how they run their state.
And what policies get people so angry? Fiscal? I mean, check out this link... they seem to list Connecticut and Kentucky and Illinois as worse off than California, and do people hate Kentucky and Illinois and Connecticut?

Here is a USA Today ranking of best and worst run States from a few years back... and New Mexico and Illinois and Alabama and Mississippi are among the bottom...

And here is something from 2017, listing the states that cannot pay their bills... and again, it’s Kentucky and Illinois and others and the bottom, not California. Delaware and Hawaii are worse off, too.

And none of this stuff impacts anyone outside of Cali really, you know? I’m glad that Cali has so many illegal immigrants... I don’t want to pay a fortune for my salad and fruit, you know?
I think it has a lot more to do with strange social politics (California is famous for being liberal) and race (California is famous for being really diverse, including huge numbers of Asians and Latinos and African Americans) and some strange money/status thing (people get really worked up over the Hollywood types and what they see as some strange coastal elite thing) than anything truly legit. California has become this crazy horrible emotional boogeyman to certain Americans, and I think it is a bit strange.
@TheDude1, do we have to know names of their political leaders to have an opinion on the way their cities are governed? Sanctuary cities are rampant. Choosing the side of illegal immigrants over the police that protect them. Allowing city streets to be overtaken by homeless people and junkies. Meanwhile taxing the shit out of their blue collar citizens to the point where they are moving by the droves.
There is a lot to love about California. But more and more, regular folk are losing interest in the state as a whole. Both the people who have never been there, which I agree that their opinion doesn't matter really, and people who live there or have lived there.
I know, the cost of living is craaaazy!! I flew from Vegas to there for a meeting a few months ago. Beats sitting in traffic!I drove on the Coronado Bridge for 19 years when I was stationed at North Island. I loved everything about the city but unfortunately the cost of living got to high and the traffic is getting worse. I was there 2 years ago and it took me 6 hours to drive to Vegas and it was during a weekday leaving at 9 am. It’s normally a 4 hour drive so I was like next time I’m flying in.
Actually seems like nobody really gives a damn about the earthquakes in the big picture. Once it can be used as some sort of political media tool that will change though.Thoughts & prayers!

If it’s not about controlling women’s bodies, the south/Midwest doesn’t care.
