Choosing to respond on just a couple.

The original anti-vax movement was only about linking polio vaccine to autism without any proof whatsoever. With the advent of Covid, this movement got new legs and more importantly alternate treatments and a lot of lives were lost. Of course, you won't agree that Trump was the cause of almost a million Covid deaths by debunking the vaccines.There were several anti-vax threads that got shut down on AK; why was that?

If SF, LA and SD are so bad, why are the real estate prices so high and continue to rise? Or don't you believe in supply and demand? Also consider that UCLA, UC Berkley, UCSD and US Davis are some of the best schools in the US for just about everything; Engineering, Medicine, Business & Law. And most students seek jobs nearby and then become permanent residents of that city. Perhaps the state of CA should ban out of state students from seeking employment locally upon graduation.

You have any idea how large the facilities of Apple and Google are in the Bay Area (Silicon Valley)? Think they would consider locating to Alabama? Or better yet, Mississippi where I heard one can buy a home for under $100K whereas in the cities you mentioned, doubt one can be had under a $1M.
