    Probably true, but also could be that they are from California. Idahoans hate Californians for weird reasons.

      Idaho is one of the most racist states in America, if you Google ‘‘move to a state with no black people’’ Idaho has got you covered. Huge organized white power hate groups there too. My family is from Idaho, man. Trust me. It’s not casually racist. They are actively salivating for the race war.

        I was getting headhunted for a job in Coeur d’Alene. It’s a beautiful place. I could afford a nice house there near the lake. I could bike to work (given adequate gear for winter)… We have friends in Montana we could actually see.

        I know if I move out of CA it will be very hard to come back. The politics there seem pretty backwards. I couldn’t see living there. What you say really seals the deal.

          It really looks bad now that they are literally dealing with brain drain after Roe v Wade got over turned. Not a single medical postgrad will go there and almost everyone with a specialty related to birth has left. And they’re running out of qualified teachers for k-12.

        Lived in a red state most of my life. I dream of that Golden State, and also other places around the globe.

        I’m sure it has nothing to do with most of them acting like they’re smarter than everyone else because of having lived in a particular state

        It is mostly because Californians leave California because of the realities of living in California and move to a state that isn’t like California and then try to make it like California instead of moving to a state that is like California already.

        The lack of assimilation of local culture doesn’t help either. Don’t be a Californian-Californian in a conservative state and nobody will care after you get past the initial hurdle of being assocoated with the stereotypical Californian, and the proper enunciation, also every time you say soda instead of pop, cola, or coke.

            You know that’s a gimmick right? I’ve sold stuff with those labels for a long time, before they had ‘‘the state of California’’ labeling they just had the exact same labeling with ‘‘warning’’ or ‘‘caution’’ for the exact same chemicals and materials or consumer grade hazardous materials that the federal government has required labeling on for decades. They know if they put the California label on, it will make customers dismissive of the hazardous materials and more likely to buy their product. Similar to people going ‘‘you could drink out of the hose when I was a kid, why is it bad all of a sudden?’’ Because the hose we drank out of as kids was an all rubber hose with a cloth mesh holding the shape and they lasted MAYBE one summer. These hoses aren’t sold anywhere in the US anymore, the materials are totally different, and they will make your kids infertile if they drink from it. There were no soaker hoses when I was a kid, just a rubber hose and a awl to punch holes in it. The ones that shrink and grow, the high pressure hoses, all different. People don’t get this. Corporations LOVE the misconceptions, it might kill some people, but it sells more hoses.

              Aah, my intention is to convey that California requiring spurious labels like that specifically diminishes the value of such a warning label and provides cover to actually harmful things (and is the kind of tedious bad governance that people don’t like about Cali)

                What I’m trying to explain to you, is that companies put those lables on items when CA isn’t why they need the label, to create a customer response you are describing. It’s a scam. It’s a gimmic, it’s intentional to get you to dismiss actual danger of hazardous materials.
