I'm shocked that Chevron's HQ was in California

Chevron traces its history back to the 1870s to small California-based oil companies which were acquired by Standard and merged into Standard Oil of California. The company grew quickly on its own after the breakup of Standard Oil by continuing to acquire companies and partnering with others both inside and outside of California, eventually becoming one of the Seven Sisters that dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the 1970s. In 1985, Socal merged with the Pittsburgh-based Gulf Oil and rebranded as Chevron; the newly merged company later merged with Texaco in 2001.[7] Chevron manufactures and sells fuels, lubricants, additives, an

California will be fine; Texas gets just a shade more expensive every day with these moves. I am glad I have my house at 2010 prices in DFW.

Chevron employee / hubby: Honey we're moving to Texas! No libs and no state income tax.
Wifey: Yeah but it's hot and sticky as ballz for 6 months out of the year.

No shock there….the company and its employees anre more closely aligned with Texas’s culture and politics. And Houston is the country’s energy hub.
California has scared away Twitter/X, SpaceX, Tesla, HPE, and now Chevron. A lot of big tech companies have kept their HQ in the Bay Area but bade opened tech centers in middle America too.

What about property taxes?
House appreciation is just on paper, but the check you write to the county is very real.

Anyone know where in Houston? I guess they are building a flashy new suburban office campus - they are in a very nice office campus in CA now. I wonder if they'd have stayed if CA hadn't filed all of those climate lawsuits against them.
This is also very good for gulf coast universities like LSU. This is yet another corporate office within the recruiting sphere.

This can't be right! r/Houston told me that everyone was fleeing Houston b/c of the oppressive heat, bad politics, climate change, and the shitty grid.

They’ll bring a bunch of leftist loonies with them from California and continue to turn Texas blue.
Once Texas is blue the leftists will ruin everything good about it and make it just as bad as California.
