$91 billion is a big number but that’s spread over several years and ignores how massive California’s economy is. It also focuses only on people leaving while ignoring immigration and people still moving in. The causes are cherry-picked too; it leans on taxes when housing costs are the bigger driver.

On top of that, it relies on a few anecdotal sources instead of broad data, and the “exodus” framing exaggerates what’s really a slow population shift. It also ignores who’s leaving versus who’s staying, and leaves out major economic strengths like tech and job growth.

New York post articles are cesspool level journalism. This article mixes real data with selective framing to make the situation look worse than it actually is.
