No that isn’t my argument.

But we have had this conversation 800 times.

Don’t need to have it again.

I don’t agree with you and clearly time will tell who is right.

But it is almost never you, so I have that going for me!

lol......what a slough off....unbelievable. weaaaaaaaaaaaaak

 

[WiggyRuss]

Dude...you need to get out more....and stop watching "certain cable news" (cough..fox..cough) channels.

the numbers are the numbers.

We're No. 1! More people move to Texas from California than any other state. But... why?

37 percent of Californians say they've seriously considered leaving because of high housing costs. Texas doesn't have that problem.

Actually, if you look at the decade from 2010 through 2019 (the last year that Census data is available), the number is even bigger. It shows a net number of 885,000 people moving to Texas -- about 303,000 of which were from California.
That means 34 percent of new Texas residents are migrating from California.
When you look at all the places Californians are leaving for, you can see Texas is number one. But research from UCLA shows they're also bolting in large numbers to the adjacent states of Arizona, Nevada, Washington and Oregon.
Yes, Californians are coming to Texas. But they're going to lots of other places too.



thats not the only article either- there are tons of them with a simple google search.

No, what is whack is you misrepresenting my comments to dredge up an argument we have had probably a dozen times.

To be fair, it's pretty whack to be a middle aged white guy using "whack"

And just the same, lots of people from other states (including those listed) are also coming here, and in large numbers.
Not to mention the likely regret factor of those that relocated out of Cali....now wish they hadn't.
Or even about those that have returned after giving it a go elsewhere.
It just is what it is.
Anyhow..this is a basketball forum. There really isn't a reason to delve into socio-economic or demographic political discourse in here.

Agreed.

I actually misread his and thought he said it first

But spelling weaaaaaaaaaaaaak like that is even more whack IMO

 

[msgkings322]

Agreed.

Hadn't noticed that. He is on the young side...

 

[tlance]

Hadn't noticed that. He is on the young side...

He can’t be that young.

30s at least

 

[msgkings322]

The funny thing is I'm not taking any shots at yer boy Embiid. What I said about him and AD it's legit. You must live in fansaty world where Embiid isn't injury prone.

Hey I'm always ready to talk some trash since you got it going. Embiid's one of the biggest baby-bitches in the league today. Remember when he cried to media last season that nobody liked him?

If you don't think Embiid's injury prone that could be a sign of severe homerism on your part.

I came at Embiid the other night after he was doing his passive aggressive shit with the Raptors in the press. I think I called him some form of injury prone in two or three posts today.

But I want to give ya an atta guy on beating the fuck out of that strawman! Let’s fucking go! Hit him again. Remember when I said the Sixers are gonna win 3 NBA titles this year? Kick the shit out of that claim next.

Here's a good way to figure out how old he is.

Did he go to any Cavs games when Chuck Daly was the HC.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Funny, is that why Embiid wasn't guarding AD that last game? Vaginosis?

Embiid guards the paint. We know why the only man dumb enough to put AD anywhere near Embiid on the defensive end is Hamm. 1-2-3 fouls Ah Ah Ah

What really hit me was the 2017 tax increase when they got rid of the state tax deduction. Cost me around $50K every year since.
