California is a cultural cess pool with losers and hanger on's looking for handouts
-Geaux
In fake conservative meme-land. In reality it has the 6th largest economy among nations in the world. It would appear the 'losers and hanger's on' kick the shit out of everyone else when it comes to business. Not to worry, there's always Taxus where you can make $7.50 an hour.
In reality, it's about to implode and makers are mass migrating out.
Hilarious. We've heard the exact same thing for 20 years. The weak businesses are the ones that don't make it here and leave. Again, Texas has $7.50 an hour waiting for anyone that fails out of California. Texas is a good back up if your business model isn't top notch. They love the also-rans. But cons love the phoney meme about California businesses leaving blah blah blah. It makes them feeeel good.
So if a business doesn't stay and get raped by the socialist government they are failures to you? Feelings are what you need for answers. You know so much that isn't true. The facts, however, are ...
Why Businesses Leave California
A new study seeks to quantify the trend of companies fleeing California and determine how, and to what extent, it is caused by California’s hostile business environment. The study was conducted by Joseph Vranich, the president of Spectrum Locations Solutions, a site-selection consultancy based in Irvine, Calif. Using publicly available records, mostly media and government reports, Vranich searched for what he calls “California divestment events” — business decisions to shun the state. These come in three types: companies that left the state entirely; companies that expanded in other states rather than in California; and a few companies that had planned to grow in the Golden State but changed their minds.
Entrepreneurs who survive the ordeal of gathering all the permits needed to start a business — opening a restaurant can take more than two years in California — are then micromanaged by labour laws telling them when to pay overtime, and how much. They suffer electricity prices that are already among America’s highest, and which may rise further to meet the state government’s ambitious carbon-emissions goals. Then there is the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
A well-intentioned law to curb the damaging effects of development has mutated into a monster. Almost anyone can file a CEQA lawsuit against any project they dislike; plaintiffs win half of the cases they enter, and when they lose, they do not need to cover defendants’ legal fees (the reverse does not apply). Builders are compelled to hire expensive unionised labour to ward off union bosses’ threats of spurious CEQA suits. Shops and petrol stations file cases to prevent competitors from opening up. The full extent of the damage these regulations have done to California’s economy is impossible to calculate, but Vranich highlights several key areas of impact. Besides the job losses, he found evidence of at least $62 billion in capital that was diverted to other locations.
Additionally, the loss of so many business owners and their employees has had a negative impact on California charities. Companies that have left California brought with them the people who donated to California philanthropies, organized new charitable organizations, and volunteered their time. Texas cities were well represented on the list of top destinations for discontented California businesses. Austin was No. 1, and Dallas, Houston, Irving, Plano, and Fort Worth were also listed. Charles Schwab’s move to Austin exemplifies this trend.
As the Austin Business Journal reported, the discount brokerage “has been adding almost 1,000 jobs here as it retreats from pricey San Francisco.” DeVore observes that businesses leave California for Texas for reasons beyond just lower costs, pointing to the Lone Star State’s hospitable regulatory climate. Beyond the direct dollar savings, businesses moving to Texas benefit from “stronger property rights that enable companies to build new headquarters and factories in months as opposed to the years it takes in California.”
Unfortunately for the companies still left in California, their future in the Golden State is far from bright. According to Vranich, state officials are currently considering enacting still more taxes and fees on businesses in 2016 and 2017, which would “trigger the worst demands on private-sector finances ever organized by the state’s politicians.” If that happens, California’s citizens will suffer even more, but they’ll be rolling out the welcome mat in Austin.
