Let’s discuss the California exit tax, where if you attempt to leave the state, Sacramento gang bangs your bank account for 10 years. I have both good news and bad news to share.

Initially, you may encounter a cute little Pikachu, but eventually, you will find yourself grappling with unexpected challenges, akin to Rachel Levine in a bikini attempting to engage in mud wrestling with you.
