“Virtue signalling” has become more important than the efficacy of advocated public policy. It doesn’t matter if a state’s economy is destroyed, as long as you meant well. :)
Why do Californians need jobs when they have such generous welfare?
Baby steps to 10-289?
Directive 10-289Point 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. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
As you say...
this is my fault. I voted for Democrats whose policies caused this plant closing.”
Not one moonbeam is saying this.....
However,
Do you remember that president in 2000 & 2004?
His fault.
You are absolutely correct. But that point is lost on most people.
Hey, it worked in Venezuela, didn't it?
“We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.”

Hence, the reason Ashley management indicated that the “move” will help Ashley “rebalance [their] manufacturing mix strengthen[ing] production capability and cost structure and will help ensure Ashley’s continued ability to compete effectively long-term in the global marketplace from a U.S. base.” Yeah, right!
Absolutely zero blame was placed on the higher minimum wage. I guess they need to keep their options if they decide to open a new retail store or two in the state. With “pay to play” operating procedures in place, the RATs can make things difficult for a business hoping to expand.
Ashley aleeady employs more people in its HQ of Arcadia, WI than the permanent population of the town. This is good news for western Wisconsin and Gov. Walker.
Yes but those that remain and can get that fifteen dollars an hour will live a fuller and richer life; and, it’s for the children you know. (/sarc)
Know an intelligent liberal, soon concluded it was bad judgement that ailed some.
Bad judgement - poor decision; wash, rinse, repeat.
California, Where the Fastest Way to Own a Small Business is to Start with a Big Business!
Judgement....that’s key to the liberal mindset.
Libs freeze out anything that smacks of judgementalism (in the Biblical sense).
That is exactly right. And leaving a state like Calif. because the business climate is ANTI-business will first be vilified...then made against the law.
Still would be zero if the company goes out of business.
“The government does not have the right to set a minimum or maximum hourly rate of pay.”
That’s the real issue here. Just where in our Constitution is the “right to set compensation” listed? Anyway, in a perverse way these jobs leaving will help to some degree with alleviating traffic congestion and hasten the day when this once proud and first in the nation state, goes under. This state needs a hard financial crash to start to bring things back to where they need to be. Then, maybe we can start “deporting” all the East Coast Liberals and their $hit offspring back to New York, MA, Delaware, etc. who have came here and effed things up! Are you listening Babs and Nazi? Brooklyn and Baltimore are awaiting your return.
“The problem is that liberals don’t see it as their own stupidity. Look at Florida. It is awash with liberals from NY and NJ who ruined the economies of their former home states by voting for liberal politicians who then implemented the usual idiotic plunder and squander policies of socialists everywhere - kill that goose that lays the golden eggs. But THEY CONTINUE TO VOTE LIBERAL now befouling their new home with liberal ideas.”
You are aply describing what happened in California as well. And when folks in Colorado deplore the “Californians” coming there and commencing to ruin their state they fail to understand that the people they are getting are the $hit offspring of the East Coast Commies who, after fouling their nests in CA have “moved on” to Colorado to repeat their trashing activiities.
