More proof that California is sinking under its own progressive policies. I wouldn't be surprised if crime was a factor as well. Hopefully they won't do the thing where they vote for the same things that they left California for.

DALLAS - Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has moved his restaurant headquarters to Texas as part of his new expansion plan, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Ramsay's plan for expansion will see him open 18 restaurants next year in cities like Boston, Miami and Chicago, and 75 new restaurants over the next five years.

The Dallas restaurants likely won’t open until late 2022 or 2023, according to the report.

CEO Norman Abdallah told the Dallas Morning News that the availability of chefs and restaurant support staff, as well as the favorable tax policies, is what attracted them to Dallas.
 
Gee, industries moving from California to a state where labor and environmental laws are weaker. Hard to figure.
 
Hard to argue with cherry picked partisonship.
 
The reason Democrats hate federalism is because they want to make it so that there's nowhere to run to. They hate the fact that people in the US can simply flee to another state in order to escape toxic progressivism.

100%. Remember when Cali was trying to pass a law that would allow them to tax businesses ("exit tax") up to 10 years after they moved out of the state because they don't want to face the reality of their own failed policies?

OMG! All 30 employees? How many are actually relocating to Dallas?

 
I find it most interesting how Californians can continue to elect democrat/progressives who keep the cost of living in California so ridiculously high. Businesses are leaving, citizens are leaving, California has so many problems and yet they continue to elect progressives who solve no problems but create more.

Tell me you don't understand the relationship between taxes and business headquarters without telling me you don't understand the relationship between taxes and business headquarters.

That was the motivation behind the FDR's regime to use the commerce clause to take a massive shit on the tenth amendment

Still ****ing sucks and they are among the dozen cities with record homicides this year. You big mad that someone is highlighting the failures of the left? Are only stories about the right valid?

Yes. Against partison state bashing, that is all I have. No businesses are leaving other states and Texas is the best in the universe. Rah rah rah. See you at the pep rally.

That's not a rebuttal. That's strawmanning and whining.

What goes around comes around.

My daughter's tech company moved there 18 months ago from California. Ther are trying to figure out how to cut their losses and get out because TX is such a shit show. I suspect other transplant companies will eventually feel the same way.
 
I just don't get what this narrative is based on. California has an excellent business sector. Don't get me wrong, so does Texas. But California has had consistent year over year business growth for 20 years and it has only increased in recent years.

lol

Do you also exhaustively enumerate business that move out of Texas, and on that basis cite that as proof that Texas is sinking under its own conservative policies?

Here, lemme help you with that.

Salesforce said it will help employees leave Texas due to abortion law

Salesforce announced that it will assist its employees and their families if they want to leave Texas after the state passed the nation's most restrictive abortion law.
