    They are somehow destroying a place that has the best port of access to East Asia and holds the richest companies in the world. Its unfathomable how poorly run the state is.

    Bob Hope airport is my favorite airport in the country. I get off the plane there and all the cares of the world fade away. It is like magic.

    Pro tip: Avoid LAX and use Bob Hope! Even if you are staying downtown LA.

    Pro tip #2: Same for Oakland airport relative to SFO. 9 out of 10 times, Oakland will be a much better experience and usually the flights out of there cost less.

    San Jose is one of the easiest air ports in the country in my experience.

    we will all die some day, but it's nice to have wonderful companies (not to mention the universities that train their scientists) like these operating at the frontiers of science that allow us to kick the can down the road

    next time there is a proposal to do something for your schools, please consider supporting it...one of those kids benefiting from such support might go on to do great things for humanity

    Excellent. Hopefully they can set an example and precedent for other states. It's unfair that those blue states carry so much of the financial load.

    After the blue states have struck out on their own, it will be interesting to see what happens to agricultural prices, since much of that red state welfare is actually used to depress crop prices. I suppose the prices for all the energy the red states export to the blue states will also have to rise.

    And as people continue to move to places like Texas and Florida all that tax revenue comes with them. Blue states would last a few years until they led a righteous war against the bigots to hide the fact they would crumble.

    things like the price of oil and the price of wheat are determined on a global market...i'd be surprised if Texas seceding or anything similar would matter those kinds of commodities...there are a few things (like milk) where federal subsidies make a big difference...i think also there are some subsidies that are hidden but might turn out to be quite important...for example mail service and medical services in rural areas
