Hey, society seems to think it's OK to diss Cali, calling it commie, pinko, greenie, weirdo, druggies, hippies, crackheads, welfare moms, etc....

(even though we have more agricultural land than pretty much every other state....)

So I figure I'll return the favor once in awhile..

And I'm not even from here, lol

Regarding the oil biz......If you take an IT guy or engineer, working for an oil company, they will make a lot more than a similar person at a similar size firm in a similar cost of living area, but a different industry

Not really fair IMO, but I guess the high price of gas works wonders for some...lol

See, that would make some form of sense if it were a normal occurance on this forum. But so far as I can tell, it's not. Regardless, have you ever stopped to think the ragging on California is a result of the superior attitude Californians tend to take? That's one of the reasons I rag on Texans, and I live in Texas.

Not fair to pay differently for the same job in different industries, but makes perfect sense to pay more for the same job in a different geographical location? Logic fail.

Anyway, the fact that you bring it up all the time in threads that have nothing to do with inter-state rivalries, like this one, tells me there's some real resentment there. Guess I just don't understand that, given that you could very easily take your mind off all the horrible things people say about California (?) by, I don't know, going to the beach and hanging out with chicks in bikinis...

I only bring it up in Texas threads

It makes sense to pay for the same job in a different city IF that city has a higher COL.

And I'm not sure that the average Californian thinks that they are a better person......Rather, that they think they live in a better place, and are bragging about it.

Anyway, I'll shut up now

It's pretty common knowledge that Californians are directly affected by the massive amount of smug in the atmosphere out there.

Seriously, Homie

Did you just whine "it's not fair?"

Your skinny jeans are too tight.
