Welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show where common sense still rents property in America, though apparently not in California because the taxes are too high.

Folks, there is trouble in Leftist Paradise, and you can measure it the way archaeologists measure the collapse of ancient civilizations: abandoned structures, fleeing citizens, and governors standing in front of cameras insisting everything is “vibrant.”

After hearing Stuart Varney talking about the exodus from blue states, and it raises the most obvious question in modern politics: if Democrat policies are so magical, why are millions of people treating Democrat-run states like a house with a carbon monoxide leak?

Seriously. Democrats campaign like they invented happiness itself. They talk about “equity,” “compassion,” “community,” and “sustainability.” But apparently the most sustainable thing in California is the outbound lane on Interstate 10.

They estimate somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million people have left California in recent years. And remember, the official population decline looks smaller because babies are still being born there. In other words, California has become a state where the stork and the U-Haul are passing each other on the freeway like shift changes at a factory.

Think about that. California lost over 200,000 residents in 2019 alone. That’s not a migration pattern. That’s an evacuation with better coffee.

And businesses? Don’t even start. Estimates range from 300 to over 800 companies either relocating headquarters or moving major operations out of the state. Imagine building the most beautiful restaurant in town, then discovering every customer is sprinting toward the parking lot carrying to-go boxes.

Tesla left.

Oracle left.

Charles Schwab left.

Other companies quietly slipped out the back door like party guests who suddenly heard someone say, “Before dessert, let’s discuss reparations and new permit fees.”

And Democrats still talk like the midterms are going to be some giant awakening. Awakening to what?

The thrill of paying fourteen dollars for a kale wrap while stepping over a human landmine on the sidewalk?

People aren’t leaving red states to move into blue states anymore. They’re leaving blue states because the “progressive dream” started to resemble a luxury escape room where every clue costs another tax increase.

California remains economically gigantic, no question about it. It’s still a powerhouse. Silicon Valley alone can generate enough wealth to make smaller nations blush. But at the same time, California has turned daily life into what feels like the world’s most expensive loyalty test.

Can you survive the gas prices?

Can you survive the regulations?

Can you survive the crime?

Can you survive explaining to your child why math is now emotionally problematic?
