I keep hearing that California is applying an EXIT FEE to businesses worth more than $6 million that try to move out of state. I cannot pin it down yet. Perhaps someone here on FR can do so.
Oh, yeah:
human resources staff quit processing out the quitters, hanging a sign, “we do not accept resignations,” an oil worker there told Reuters.
That'd be Point One of Directive 10-289:
Point One: All workers, wage earners, and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail.
California is covering Point Two:
Point Two: All industrial, commercial, manufacturing, and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit, nor leave, nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any or all their property.
There are eight points in total, with so much more socialist goodness for all. Before the end of Atlas Shrugged someone on the President's staff called for the death penalty for "traitors" who would dare to quit. Anyone who thinks that outlandish isn't keeping up with current events.
