That is what you call a “no brainer.” Any low-level executive of any company will have the smarts to know California is not the place to go or even start a business or company. California doesn’t want businesses or jobs, the democrats/unions who control the State of California want more welfare for the illegals who skip across the border to drop the anchor babies.

Any discounts on uhauls to Boston. I hear even known terrorists get welfare there. Heck, the T bros were driving a mercedes. Perhaps they will spot me some ‘stimulus’ money so I can trade in my 89 camry for a new B’mer.

gas?..off the charts
power bill? top ten highest in the nation
income taxes? wow are you kidding they are planning to place more taxes on us
sales tax ?more taxes planned
property taxes? they want to ban the old proposition 13 and raise property taxes as well
workers comp insurance? third highest in the nation
infrastructure? are roads are falling apart.
food? expensive
do you remember when Chevron, bank of America had their world head quarters in San Francisco ? How about the Ford having an auto plant in Fremont?
California chased out hundreds of big corporations.
Californians want to work…but yeah, your right; Starbucks type jobs are all that’s left …
Maybe we are to expensive …maybe we have to be nice and allow for an understanding with the business community so Californians can have jobs we can be proud of.
just a thought

Unions would have demanded control of construction and operations. Dependable, ample supply of electricity would be a concern.

Facebook is past its prime anyway.

I wonder if many of the IT people that will be employed at the Iowa server farm were educated in Kalifornia, where they couldn’t find a job except working at Starbucks slinging lattes. They took that education, mainly paid for by Kalifornia, and fled to Iowa. The Kali taxpayers paid for their education and the state of Iowa is benefiting from it.
Someone prove me wrong on this.
