Mary Peterson, 56, and husband Joseph, 57, lament being only an estimated 225,000 people who are now leaving California annually, in comparison to the hordes more that are storming in (mainly illegal immigrants). They also lament not fully experiencing the hippie heyday of the state, being only in their pre-teen years at the time California began officially transforming from a self-sustaining, respectable state into the basket case of welfare–driven, tax and regulation plagued socialist, Iraq-sized pile of batshit-crazy dung it is today. With Joseph being the CEO of a 180-employee shipping company, and Mary, co-founder and vice president of Ancient Attributes, Inc., a 34-employee company that produces catheters for the elderly, the couple has decided it is time to close their businesses and move out of the state they once proudly called home. Two-hundred and four people will be left without jobs in their wake. But in leaving California the duo are now faced with a new dilemma: which state to ruin next? “It’s like, so trippy,” said Mary Peterson, while packing her favorite 18-inch statue of Ganesh she bought in Mexico in 2006 while a U-Haul truck hums in the driveway. “We’ve voted as progressively as possible in every election since our twenties; put in office the most liberal people we could, and yet things are worse than ever. We’re totally mystified. It’s, like, so bizarre.” The Petersons are not alone. >:(
