Don't California My Texas

Texas held the No. 1 rank for attracting California companies – which has been the case every year for 12 years, according to a report by Spectrum Location Solutions. Roughly 660 California companies moved 765 facilities out of state in 2018 and 2019.

"California companies leave because the state's business climate continues to worsen, particularly with the harsh employment, immigration and spending measures that Gov. Gavin Newsom has approved," said Joseph Vranich, the author of the study. "I foresee more exits because California politicians have a level of contempt for business that has reached epic lows."

Turn Texas blue by 2028.

edit: I'm actually just joking. Oracle already has a massive campus. They are likely going to keep a similar footprint in both CA and TX. They will just pay no longer pay state corporate income taxes on their profits.

The last 3-5 years downtown has gone to crap quickly. I've had a few knives drawn on me, had to intervene between homeless folks yelling insults/catcalling at ladies and base downtown


That economic development, tho. It's all Republicans can see and yet they act all surprised when it turns into that.

You're right. These big tech firms should move to Brownsville. They go where the available talent is. Are you in 7th grade or something?
Yeah, because the only choices when moving to Texas are Austin or Brownsville. Are you fricking retarded?

I really wish we any sort of semi decent governor in LA.... we should be throwing the sink to get some of these firms. But nope, honor code would rather have his crony trail lawyer friends suing companies so they stay fat and happy.

Haven’t heard a peep out of his office or LED about going after CA and NY companies..... too much common sense for them to do that.

I speculated that if Louisiana and Mississippi can at least tread water and avoid raising taxes, it would attract some of that as other states like California, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York decline.

we don't have the educated work force, pro-business climate, or, most importantly, good public schools

Ellison and Safra (ceo) both donated and raised money for trump. Oracle is not a blue company.
