Has become another method of PC "Virtue Signalling".

It became meaningless to me back IN the early 80's, when I
realized that it is used as a paid $$$$$$$ propaganda tool.

This.

And the fact that during the Cuban missile crisis, it SHOULD have been 30 seconds to midnight! Yet it was 7 minutes or so.

They wouldn't accept it. No one would willing take the population of California. There isn't a big enough safe place from words for all of them.
