What a rotten state. The feds need to go in and clean house. Investigate there assembly, how many are illegals ect. Time to right the ship.

CA will look a whole lot different, kind of like Mexico, where you don’t see all these utopian laws.

The laws will still be there, but compliance and enforcement will be negotiable. Kind of like Mexico.

Yes sometimes we question why also, reminded of a plaque my Mother used to have on her wall. The Will of God will never take you, Where the Grace of God cannot keep you.

I run a small business in California. Tomorrow I get to deal with this: California: Unisex restrooms required by new single-stall law

Porta-potty out back? Might work.

What is extreme? Competition is good and could bring California to their senses. a lot of California businesses have moved.

workers Comp is available in Texas, just not mandated.

There are many parts of California that look just like Mexico. The laws are still there. They just ignore them and the police and everyone else ignore enforcement for them. White people have to obey the laws though. It’s already a two tiered system.

Here is what they changed. You now must be a 15% owner of your corporation, partnership or LLC to be exempt from the worker’s comp system. In addition, you have to sign a form, under the penalty of perjury that you meet this rules and are exempt. If you are a general partner or managing member of an LLC, you are exempt. In fact, with a LLC which has become the most common form of business entity in California you have to not only be a 15% owner but also managing member of your LLC. This makes you more liable under other laws for the operation of the LLC.

My son and I were talking about this at breakfast as most of our competitors listed their employees as minor owners to beat the worker Comp and other laws. Whether the state enforces this or not remains to be seen

How does this work? Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Humboldt Counties are liberal-leftist to the max.

They would remain part of California. There are 21 Counties that have submitted petitions to the Legislature declaring our desire to separate. None of those counties did so.

If Jefferson ever become a state, I might be there to start a business...
