Not much new here, but a useful reminder of where unchecked Progressive policies lead:

Companies Are Fleeing California. Blame Bad Government.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Amid raging wildfires, rolling blackouts and a worsening coronavirus outbreak, it has not been a great year for California. Unfortunately, the state is also reeling from a manmade disaster: an exodus of thriving companies to other states.In just the past few months...

And, if the Dems succeed with their election fraud, you can expect the same thing to happen on a national level.

Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see in the article where these companies are moving to.

Examples are given in the second paragraph.

"Greener pastures." As you no doubt know, Musk is headed to the outskirts of Austin, Texas. Thanks!!

LMAO... Will companies be relocating to other countries?

Super derp. My bad. I'm still on my first cup of coffee and I didn't sleep much last night.

I'm quite happy about large tech companies setting up shop in Texas, drawing educated college liberals to that state.

Far from welcoming experimentation, it has sought to undermine or stamp out home-rental services, food-delivery apps, ride-hailing firms, electric-scooter companies, facial-recognition technology, delivery robots and more, even as the pioneers in each of those fields attempted to set up shop in the city. It tried to ban corporate cafeterias — a major tech-industry perk — on the not-so-sound theory that this would protect local restaurants.

An outright hostility to free enterprise has been a keystone of the rotten political left for last 150 years. Progressives have a visceral hatred for private property in the means of production, and we have seen the same thing in every leftist shithole country on the planet. Their main weapons are taxes and government regulation.

It created an “Office of Emerging Technology” that will only grant permission to test new products if they’re deemed, in a city bureaucrat’s view, to provide a “net common good."

This is something Lenin would do if he were alive today and running the city.

Do you think companies haven't been doing that by moving jobs overseas and/or by domiciling in tax-friendly jurisdictions?

We've seen it happen before.

Let me see if I am following the logic here.. California created an environment where all these companies were created and the massive wealth they created yet they hate private property for the last 150 years. Something in this logic is not working.... LMAO....

Let's just hope they remember why they left CA and vote accordingly.

You're not following the logic here, IMO. CA is not the same economic or political environment it was 30 years ago.

 

[BlueTex]

Are they moving the jobs that create these companies overseas or the low skill jobs that they can offshore for a lot less cost?

Yeah, they're not going to get all excited about isolationism, right wing grievance and nativism all of a sudden just because they got a job in Houston or Austin. Sorry.

As far as I know, leftwing politicians didn't create California's beautiful climate or proximity to the coast.

But leftist progressive have been hating private property for 150 years.... LMAO

 

[BlueTex]

As far as I know, leftwing politicians didn't create California's beautiful climate or proximity to the coast.

But they CERTAINLY created the environment where people were able to create all these companies to begin with...

 

[NatMorton]

They are moving both low and high skill jobs offshore for a lot less cost. They are also moving ownership of their intellectual property to lower tax countries.

Most companies, especially the large ones that employ 10,000's of people, exist in a global, competitive market; too many here forget that.

Odd you would find that funny.

Good lord... You clearly have no idea what you are talking about... LMAO...

You keep pretending CA has always been a Progressive haven. That is simply not the case.

 

[BlueTex]

The idiocy of the argument is amusing...

I suspect far more so than you, sport. In jobs I've held I've literally made these decisions. You?
