lol and what are you doing to save the earth?? nothing, thats right nothing. quit pretending to be a bleeding heart for the sake of this site and your “journalism”

It is. The actual math is horrific on this one.

The cost would be a killer unless you absolutely use the trailer constantly. You’re talking a trailer that’s 10x as expensive. 

Cost of goods might increase. I can't see how the fuel savings would offset the slow progression of goods cross country. 

When the solution to a “sometimes” problem is rental, why not just rent a vehicle better suited for the task?

Customers are the worst fucking people on the planet.

It’s an obstacle, sure. But the biggest obstacle is still price.

In my case, when buying cars I’ve always known what I want and how much I want to spend for it. I don’t expect salespeople to wow me with knowledge, I’m only there to get a specific trim at a specific price and that’s it. I’ve already done my research, I’ve already compared prices, frankly all I need is is someone to…

Nah, it’s still definitely the money. If you had an EV SUV with decent range that was 25k it would be selling like hot cakes, no matter how retarded the dealers are.

It’s not the pandemic that’s causing it. It’s how the government is responding to it. As an average the red states have left people with a lot more freedoms than the blue states have.

State-to-State migration is well understood. The net flux is outward.

Obligatory XKCD:

I have been wondering how much migration to the central US is people who just need work. The wealthy can hide in their homes forever, but most people need a steady job, and this shutdown nonsense is going to drive people to greener pastures permanently. Ps. Might have to do with power outages, high cost of utilities,…

I don’t know what everyone in California is thinking, but I know what some Californians are thinking. I have friends in California who were planning to leave well before the fires. The primary complaints are cost of living, taxes, and traffic. I live in Oregon, so like one in every three people who live here moved…

THIS, 1000 times THIS. The pricing on moving vans has always been this way. This is not some BREAKING NEWS, it is seriously more of the same. Ask anyone who has moved here(California) or moved out of state in the last 30 years....

As others have pointed out, if one can work remotely and your employer is now allowing that as a permanent option instead of a temporary one, it makes sense to move to lower cost locations.

It’s just OK.

It could easily be sustained: If I drive a huge truck one-way to NYC, then U-haul needs to replace that capacity in Cali. Either they have to pay someone to drive the truck back, or they offer fantastic bargains on the NYC->LA leg to encourage someone to drive it back.

Why is the “Managing Editor “ guessing why Californians are fleeing the State when the information is readily available:
