What a rotten thing to say. I see you don’t identify the state you come from. I wonder if every county in that state went for Trump in the last election. Or do you hail from a state that is not part of the USA - according to you.

Exactly what I was was wondering. It isn’t so great if all of he companies moving out of California bring employees, and their political attitudes, with them.

Now isn’t that just great? Why not move to the middle of the country where there are great workers, and who will really appreciate the jobs? Just sayin’..!

Pelosi made it clear that a government check is as good as a paycheck; if they fill that housing with Section 8 people the they’ll re-distribute the wealth contributed by the other 49 states.

My state of NJ is doing the same thing: Taxing businesses until they leave, and trafficking Third Worlders here instead. Their job prospects, even their sanitation, mean nothing; they are needed to produce children to keep our public school teacher caste employed...

This probably means that their industry is so bound up my regulations that is easier just to be located where the regulators are.

NoVa is the bane of our existence here in Central Virginia. Outside of the southwest coal areas and eastern Virginia, this is no longer Mr. Jefferson’s commonwealth

Sounds like they found some cheap office space.

“The new Nestlé headquarters will be in Rosslyn, the Arlington neighborhood just over the Key Bridge from Georgetown. The company will lease 40 percent of an office building at 1812 N. Moore St., which has sat vacant since construction finished nearly four years ago.”

Nestle to Move New US Headquarters to Rosslyn

By David Culver
NBC 4 Washington

Nestles owns Poland Springs Water Co. here in Maine. The greenies think they are evil because they pump 900 million gallons out of the ground at three sites. It has been pointed out that this is from about 900 acres.

“We used 901.8 million gallons last year,” he said. “To put that in perspective for Maine, that’s less than the rainfall received on 900 acres in an average precipitation year in Maine. Maine has 19 million acres of land area. When you apply average (annual) rainfall to the state’s footprint, the Maine Geological Survey calculates that Maine receives 25 trillion gallons in total.”

Mark Dubois, geologist and natural resources manager for Poland Spring.

Nestle has been taking unwarranted flak from Californians on its bottled water industry business there.

The myth the Greenie Weenies have invented is that water that Nestle is bottling (like in the San Bernardino mountain area) is water that is “taken” from other “more important” uses it could go to in California. In reality, the local water boards have repeatedly shown that Nestle has been a good steward of the water sources it has access to for water it bottles in California.

Another complaint is that its license for the San Bernardino mountain source has expired. That is true enough, but it is also true that it has been given the legal go-ahead to continue its operations while the license renewal review is pending - which has been years and still not completed by the state and other relevant agencies, due NOT to any “stonewalling” by Nestle.

In looking for the story I referenced above I noticed these two other stories.

So they are apparently decentralizing some of thier operations.

Thier wiki page still lists Glendale as one of two world headquarters, but they have a picture of the new Arlington, VA headquarters building further down.

I live here in California, a state that is thinking hard about ceding from the union. I hope that answers your question.

Sounds like all of California’s taxpayer base is seceding from them lately.

Regarding California’s shrinking taxpayer base, please consider the following.

If low-information California lawmakers are possibly planning to rely heavily on federal funding to run their state, as opposed to relying mostly on dwindling state revenues, since most federal funding for domestic purposes is based on unconstitutional federal taxes imo, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, then the other states must consider the following question.

Is California unthinkingly planning to pay for healthcare for illegals with federal funding that is actually based on state revenues that the corrupt feds have stolen from other states in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes?

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824."

In other words, if California's plan to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants is based mostly on federal dollars, then the rest of the states will actually be helping to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants though California’s unconstitutional federal funding imo.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Glendale was the HQ of the Carnation Company, which Nestle acquired in the 80s

Don’t sweat it, you comment was JUST FINE. It was simply our typical hyperbole to make a point...nothing nasty, and certainly nothing deserving of that first response (which will be reviewed).
