It’s time to cash out of California while the times are still good.
At least, that’s what you should be doing if the prediction made by financial expert Robert Kiyosaki sounds likely.
Kiyosaki made a name for himself in 2008 after correctly predicting the fall of global investment bank Lehman Brothers a full five months before the institution’s shocking collapse. More recently, he called growing trouble in the bond market and banks tied to it last year.
“California is a BELL-Weather state,” Kiyosaki wrote last week on the social media platform X. “That means what happens in California happens to the rest of the US.”
“The problem is California is going broke,” Kiyosaki continued.
“California will begin raising taxes and cutting subsidies to the poor, to prisons, environmental problems, and teachers unions. That means crime will spread as police will be cut.”
Kiyosaki appears to again be correct on the general downward trend California is chasing.
The Golden State’s desperate situation was hinted at as early as 2018, when then-Gov. Jerry Brown revealed in a budget briefing that California would soon have the power to cut existing government employees’ pensions as a cost-saving measure.
Since then, an increased hostility toward capitalism and attempts to pass off welfare costs onto businesses, most notably through a massive hike in the state’s minimum wage, has chased money and opportunity away from California.
A San Francisco McDonald’s that had operated for over 30 years in the area was forced to close after the state raised the minimum wage to $20 per hour. A 55-year-old Hollywood Arby’s suffered a similar fate, with countless more restaurants and small businesses also folding to the insurmountable labor costs.
Another disturbing trend accompanying and undoubtedly linked to the decline in business is the rise in crime.
High rates of violent and property crime have become hallmarks of California cities, where hobbled and demoralized police departments struggle to maintain law and order.
The issue is so ubiquitous that even journalists reporting on crime have become victims of their subject matter.
Other massive problems plaguing the state include deadly drug epidemics and associated gang empowerment.
Kiyosaki doesn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for California, but instead hinted the state’s problems will soon be suffered by other members of the Union.
California is a BELL-Weather state. That means what happens in California happens to the rest of the US.
The problem is California is going broke. California will begin raising taxes and cutting subsidies to the poor, to prisons, environmental problems, and teachers unions.…

“Since California is a Bell Weather state and is going broke,” Kiyosaki wrote, “which states will follow?”
The economist admitted he has abandoned California altogether, apparently seeing no bright future in the state.
“I moved,” he wrote. “Take care.”
All thanks to the demoncrat leaders of CA. They are the reason for the fall. Dumbasses.
And just think, ghetto mamma Kamalatoe might get installed to give us all the Calicommie treatment. I see another Great Depression on the horizon.
Obviously, California has been invaded by numerous entities, from both within and without, resulting in the effects of a, say it! “A COMMUNIST TAKEOVER!” American Laws, America’s Government, Constitution in California has literally been overthrown in California. WHY HASN’T THE MILITARY BEEN CALLED IN TO “RECLAIM” AMERICA’S STATE AND BORDERS? WE ONLY DO THAT FOR OTHER COUNTRIES? The traitors within, should be physically removed, arrested, prosecuted, & sentenced. CALIFORNIA AUTHORITIES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW FOR THEIR DESTRUCTION TO THE STATE AND CITIZENS!
FYI: All those who succumb to the threats of the “organized crime syndicate” are not doing their families any favors. They’re using Media, Celebrities, Politicians to enforce their dirty work & then THEY’LL DUMP YOU JUST LIKE THEY DUMPED JOE………………….DO YOU NOT GET IT YET?
How can a state or a country survive giving away money it does not have to other countries and illegal aliens to let their own citizens including Seniors and veterans go broke from taxes and inflation!
