    US population growth smallest in at least 120 years
    The U.S. population grew by the smallest rate in at least 120 years from 2019 to 2020

    "The U.S. population grew by the smallest rate in at least 120 years from 2019 to 2020, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau — a trend that demographers say provides a glimpse of the coronavirus pandemic’s toll.

    "Population growth in the U.S. already was stagnant over the past several years due to immigration restrictions and a dip in fertility, but coronavirus-related deaths exacerbated that lethargic-growth trend, said William Frey, a senior fellow at The Brooking Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program.

    “I think it’s a first glimpse of where we may be heading as far as low population growth," Frey said. “It’s telling you that this is having an impact on population."

    "The U.S. population grew by 0.35% from July 2019 to July 2020, an increase of 1.1 million people in a nation whose estimated population in July was more than 329 million residents, according to Census Bureau estimates.

    "An analysis by Frey shows that it's the smallest increase this century and smaller than any in the last century as well. At the height of the Spanish flu, the growth rate from 1918 to 1919 was 0.49% — even with U.S. troops abroad during World War I."

    You got to be a fucking desperate lefty to blame the migration on forest fires.

    2. I suspect that like NY the exodus were be far more apparent if we were not
    replacing income tax payers with millions of immigrants.

    Taxpayers are voting with their feet and letting the leftist govt's know this is not OK.

    This is the real deal
    If you vote for bigger govt... and you have half a brain... you demand better govt.

    When you get worse govt... you go back to voting smaller govt or you leave.

    Satellite images show the wildfire smoke making California air quality the worst in the world
    By Paul P. Murphy, CNN
    Updated 4:26 PM ET, Thu August 20, 2020

    "New satellite images show the smoke from wildfires that's drifted 600 miles into the Pacific Ocean, and made California's air quality plummet to "very unhealthy" and "hazardous" levels.
    There are currently 26 major fire incidents in the state, according to Cal Fire. The largest right now are the LNU and SCU Lightning Complex fires.

    "Those two fires, burning north and south of the greater Bay Area, are affecting roughly 226,100 acres.

    "Widespread air quality index measurements in the "very unhealthy" (AQI 201-300) and "hazardous" (>300) range are being seen in Central and Northern California, including the greater San Francisco Bay area and Central Valley, according to Environmental Protection Agency measurements.

    "These levels are rare in the Bay Area, and even healthy adults can experience immediate health impacts from short term exposure to these levels of fine particulate pollution," Erin DeMerritt of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District told CNN. "Exposure to wildfire smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing cough, a dry scratchy throat, and irritated sinuses," DeMerritt added, "it can trigger wheezing in those who suffer from respiratory illnesses."

    Just imagine... if they followed proper forest management practices then California would not have the worst air quality in the world.

  9. The national GOP is an embarrassment. If you look at TN they do a better job than blue states at working with lower revenues. Not all red states do a good job as AL, MS, LA, and WV show.
    They’re not moving out of Florida so much which they say is going to be underwater.

    Most climate migration at this time is internal. In FL real estate is being sold on the coasts and snapped up on the higher (lol) ground. Already happening.
