Same people constantly bringing up the Epstein list?

There is such a thing as justice, and unraveling the yarn from the outside in.

Yeah fuck reality, pain and suffering!

How is the price of something doom?

Since your a 2ndenthusiast let me ask you this, how much more are you paying for ammo right now? What about for guns? What about for range time if you go to one?

100% facts! Thank you Anon.

I asked Grok about your comment because honestly, it sounds like hooey.

Here's what it said:

This comment contains several significant economic and technical inaccuracies mixed with speculative projections. Below is a fact-based breakdown of the claims.

Economic and Tax Claims Purchasing Power and Wages The 50% Differential: While the cost of living in California is significantly higher than in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, or Idaho, a 50% purchasing power advantage is an overstatement for the average worker. According to Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Regional Price Parities, California's cost of living is roughly 10–15% above the national average, while the states mentioned sit near or slightly below the average.

Wages and Job Growth: While these four states have seen rapid job growth, California still maintains the highest median wages in most sectors. The claim that purchasing power will hit +100% vs. CA by 2028 is mathematically improbable, as it would require California’s economy to collapse while the others double in efficiency within two years.

Tax-Free Overtime: There is currently no federal or state legislation in these four states that eliminates taxes on overtime pay. Taxes are not being "eliminated"; rather, states like Nevada and Texas simply maintain their existing lack of state income tax.

Energy and Infrastructure Decoupling and Pipelines The "Decoupling" Myth: The Western United States operates on the Western Interconnection, a synchronized power grid. No state is truly "decoupled." While these states export power, they still trade energy with California through the Energy Imbalance Market (EIM).

Texas Pipelines: Texas operates on its own separate grid (ERCOT) and does not have the infrastructure to "pipe" electricity to the Pacific Northwest or the Mountain West. Natural gas pipelines exist, but they have functioned for decades and do not represent a new "decoupling" event.

Refineries: Refining capacity is actually concentrated. California has the third-highest refining capacity in the U.S. While Utah and Nevada have refineries, they are small-scale and largely serve local or regional markets, not a total replacement of California’s infrastructure.

Nuclear and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) Status of SMRs: While there are SMR projects in development (notably the TerraPower Natrium plant in Wyoming and interests in Idaho), there are currently no operational SMRs providing commercial power to the grid in these states. The timeline for SMRs to replace "all industry" energy needs by 2030 is inconsistent with current NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) licensing speeds.

Energy Cost Projection: The claim that energy costs will be 10% of California’s by 2030 is highly unlikely. Transmission, distribution, and maintenance costs prevent electricity prices from dropping to such a fraction of the regional market rate, regardless of the generation source.

Industrial Shift Reshoring and Manufacturing Manufacturing Growth: It is true that Arizona (semiconductors) and Nevada (battery tech) have seen massive industrial investment. However, California remains the largest manufacturing state in the U.S. by GDP.

Intentional Exclusion: There is no documented evidence of a coordinated industrial "exclusion" of California. Businesses often move due to "push factors" (high taxes, regulation), but California continues to lead in venture capital investment and high-tech R&D.
