exactly zero rich Virginians will move to WVA

That depends on what is “rich” and who these tax increases apply to.
It would be very very easy for my wife and I to pick up and move to the WVA panhandle along with our 350k HHI. That day looks closer than ever.

Buh bye!

I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. These are, at this moment, just a few of the 100s of bills introduced in the legislature. Whether they move, and whether she signs them into law, remains to be seen.

No but they are indeed leaving the state.

The taxes alone won’t make someone who has strong ties to the state decide to leave, but they will absolutely have an effect on people who were already thinking about leaving or people thinking of moving here. Someone with one foot out the door already will probably be gone after these laws pass.

Like, I love CA because the weather is nice etc, but I will never move there because of the politics of that state. If I already lived there I might stay due to inertia.

She campaigned as an empty bucket that the Democratic party will pour policy into.

More like the billionaire donors (Michael Bloomberg)

If anything, we’d move somewhere with higher taxes. Like CA.

I hadn't considered this, but I think you're right.

Also there was nothing wrong with what she was wearing. It was appropriate to the weather and occasion. Who cares if it wasn't high fashion? I don't expect her to dress like Nancy Pelosi, one of the wealthiest people in Congress. Nancy has access to celeb- level styling plus the funds to pay for it. She's not a reasonable comparitor.

You know that’s a really good point. I’m the poster who commented that the white made her look 10-15 pounds heavier. But this could explain that.

White is symbolic of the suffrage movement people. Geez.

So what? It’s still a terrible color on her.
