Farmer Brothers has a huge carbon footprint. Energy for roasting coffee has to come from someplace. Cap and Trade will cost a bundle.
So you move to another state. There is a reason why no other state did Cap and Trade… they knew it would ruin their economy. Nobody seems to be talking about cap and trade.

In reply to SDVeteran. No different than the folks shilling for tax funded sports stadiums. Rent seeking.

In reply to Dyspeptic. That's the first thing you've ever written that I've agreed with, Dys. Amazing.

In reply to SkippingDog. SkippingDog... sounds like you have never shopped for a bargain. Nor do you have any idea about creating revenue for a state. Texas and other states aren't giving "tax breaks." One state has lower corporate taxes and offers smart incentives to create jobs. That allows a state to collect even more in tax dollars via payroll income tax, new homes (by the workers) and other tax revenues by bringing in new companies.

In reply to Guillermo el Oso Poderoso. William the Powerful Bear, you seem powerfully bearish about Crazyfornia. Please stand well back from the state line though. When the House That Jerry Built collapses, the debris cloud will cover a vast area of the Western U.S.

In reply to Michael. Nonsense, Michael. John Seiler regularly lauds the state of Texas and applauds those who move to that godforsaken place.

Man, the headline for this article scared the holy mookie out of me until I re-read it. I thought at first Chris was talking about Farmer Boys restaurants.

My knees went wobbly and my head started spinning at the prospect of not being able to get hold of a juicy, fat Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger, or their awesome Fish and Chips Platter.

Farmer Bros. on the other hand, I could care less about. Frankly, their coffee is fit for prison inmates and people who think Wolfgang Puck frozen dinners are gourmet food.
