A report indicating that 9,000 businesses have relocated headquarters and other operating units outside of California in the last seven years was hailed by Governor Jerry Brown (D) as "encouraging news." According to the report prepared by Joseph Vranich, a site selection consultant and president of Irvine, California-based Spectrum Location Solutions, the exiting companies experienced cost-savings of 20-35%.
"Some will try to characterize this as a loss for the state, but I don't see it that way," Brown said. "Wage-slavery is one the greatest infringements on personal freedom in our time. By inducing 9,000 exploiters to leave we are reducing this scourge for all Californians."
Brown suggested that Californians who lost jobs as a result of the corporate migration "will have more free time to enjoy life. Our state's social safety net will provide a livable income for most. Others may find joining an agrarian commune a more rewarding lifestyle."
"And let's not forget the positive environmental impacts," Brown added. "Workers driving to jobs are major contributors to air pollution. With 9,000 fewer employers and a million fewer jobs traffic on our states roads is way down. Everyone is breathing cleaner air. That's probably having a bigger impact on health in our state than Obamacare."
