Not celebrating, but have there been reports of flights from CA?

And Good Morning!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

There's a difference.  California has a bigger, more diversified economy, and it's not in freefall.  Finance was only one of a number of things going in California, and while it did have a housing bubble, it's actually not as bad as in other parts of the country, as there is actual demand for property in California.  There is agriculture, wine, enteratinment, oil refining, shipping, tourism, computers, etc.

California is just having a crisis of government.
