69 more firms move jobs, facilities out of California

[Harry Dresden]

Makes sense. Why would a Business want to operate in California? The Socialist/Progressive nutters destroyed Business opportunities a long time ago out there. The Takers are beginning to outnumber the Producers in California. They're rapidly becoming a real Third World mess. It's sad.

its already 3rd world in some places out here.....what bothers me is some so called "Americans" living in those areas dont seem to care......

 

[Harry Dresden]

They said:" we taking Kalifornia back frum deze greeengoze."

shut the fuck up asshole....American Citizens are talking here.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

I see the usual whining from the right

and of course we see the usual whining from you......and the usual drivel from all these people you dig up quotes from......if you ever post something here that is just what you think,without a quote from some leftist, i will be fucking shocked.....

 

[LibocalypseNow]

The Takers are staying in California. They aint goin anywhere. It's the Producers ("Evil Rich People") who are leaving. So what happens to a State when it only has Takers for residents? Looks like California will be in some very serious trouble for the foreseeable future. WTG Socialists/Progressives!

 

[Harry Dresden]

Wow lets see

Out of control state deficit
Education system in shambles
Out of control Tax’s
Infrastructure in dire need of repair
Out of control Environmentalist
Democrats in control everything
Doesn’t sound anything I’ve ever heard of no idea why a company would want to move…….oh wait

Lol

That describes most of the country. You seem to believe that profits have nothing to do with a business relocating. No, it's partly becaus eo the public eduction system. Hahahahaha

Will cons ever admit that corps only objective is to make more profits? Or are we pretending that corps only care about nice pols and fucked up infrastructure?

Lol

hey Caption....i have delivered mail here for 31 years.....the most often said reason i get told when a company is leaving this State is.... California is not very business friendly....you have to put up with a lot of shit from the State that costs money.... .....especially to smaller businesses.....the big guys seem to have the money to put up with this States shit.....but not the smaller ones....keep on being a hack....that hat looks good on you.....

Why didn't Reagan or Arnold fix it?

for the same reason Brown will fail to fix it.....the Legislature....Brown will be bald by the time his first 2 years are in....

CA has been a land of dreams for decades. Not very well rooted in reality. The California bubble had to burst soooner or later.

maybe.....but before today's politicians got their hands in here this place was arguably the best place on the planet to live....

 

[Harry Dresden]

We still spend an enormous amount of money on education - but much of it goes to the futile attempt of mainstreaming special ed kids, administration, and pensions.

I absolutely agree with you. However, educators didn't cause CA mess.

thats right.....the Jerks who run the show in Sacramento and the Local Governments are to blame.....

That's b'loney.

CA has vast natural resources, and once was a place of a great deal of opportunity.

The problem is that the parasites have bled out the state. That is the fault of the parasites.

cali also had a balanced budget in the 89 or 90 if I recall correctly.

and a 16 Billion Dollar Surplus when Wilson left in 99......

 

[Harry Dresden]

Then you either haven't been paying attention, are incapable of analytic thinking, or both.

.


yawn...more dumbass rw kook rhetoric: all fluff, but no substance.

did you read what she said?.....it DID NOT cause it....it contributed to it.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

California simply has too many Takers. They just can't afford it. Their Socialist Wingers have demonized Business on a daily basis for so many years. Now Businesses have had enough and are leaving. Who's gonna pay for all their Takers now? Where are they gonna get all that revenue to give to their Takers? It really is sad. California was once a great & mighty State. Now they've been reduced to a humiliated Third World Banana Republic. WTG Socialists! Nice job.

getting a little ahead of yourself.....not there yet.....still a top ten Economy world wide....

So what.

Companies move all the time. And 69 firms moving out of a state the size of California is probably not a whole more than normal attrition.

Not the point. After they moved 14,000 factories overseas one would think that Congress would do something to keep jobs here. We want jobs moving here, not moving overseas. That is called a "government failure".
( I did not see the dems change even one law that would entice factories to stay in the US or to move here)

Did you not get that 69 MORE firms are leaving the state?

They are exiting in droves. Due to the unfriendly business environment created by taxation and ridiculous regulation.

There was a time not long ago that businesses were lining up to come here. Now they are lining up to get the hell out.

And just watch what is going to happen in Illinois. The lineup to get the hell out is underway.

California Teachers Association $1 Million “State of Emergency” Protests May Include Road Closures, Plus “Labor-Union Flavored Ice Cream”

Earlier today, I posted about the California Teachers Association’s plan to occupy the State Capitol on May 9-13 as part of the union’s protests to increase tax revenue for the state’s schools and teachers. I now have further information, including the news that CTA has budgeted $1 million for the protests.

The union has set up a web site of material for activists at CAstateofemergency.com. The documents include the handout I posted earlier, plus a 10-page list of “potential activities” the CTA State Council dreamed up. The State Council consists of more than 700 elected union representatives from all across the state. I’ve also posted this document on the EIA web site.

The “potential activities” include:

* Target the businesses of legislators in their home districts.

* Circle the offices of “problem legislators.” Target them with various actions.

* Picket/rally in front of legislators’ offices/homes.

* Follow targeted legislators for the entire day.

* Have students and parents do informational picketing for one hour outside their school site.

* Have parents and students camp in front of schools all night.

* Have teachers being laid off contact parents and other CTA members.

* Make phone calls on Parents’ Day. Call parents to tell them how their child is doing and then talk about the budget cuts and invite them to attend the rallies.

* Refrain from Shopping Day. Show the value of educators and other public employees and the economic contribution they make to local communities by refraining from shopping one day.

* Throw monopoly money in the toilet to show that all our money is going down the drain

* Publish a list of companies that are not paying their fair share of taxes. Send letters to these companies and the media and picket their offices. Withdraw funds from banks that are not paying their fair share. (Editor’s note: CTA is a tax-exempt organization.)

* One-day boycott of Microsoft and other corporations that are pushing failed education reform efforts.

* Turn fire/earthquake drill into crisis response drill to the budget cuts (involve students and the community)

* Attempt to close a major artery into town/cities

* Have celebrities involved in the demonstrations

* Dye hair red or wear red wigs

* Homeless encampments of students and teachers as they can afford a place to live

* Have people participate in a run across the state with a torch (like the Olympics)

* Statewide “A Day with No Teachers”

* Pay for everything with $2 bills to show true impact of teachers

* “Lights Out Day” during the week where educators teach in the dark

* Protest at an MLB game. Everyone wears a matching shirt and sits in one section. Have scoreboard acknowledge their presence (i.e., “pink-slipped teachers seated in section ___”)

* Work with organization like Ben & Jerry to have them create a labor-union flavored ice cream that can be sold at the rallies and in stores
