“California’s giant sucking sound”

Yeah, it’s either taxes, the constant blare of Mariachi music, leaf blowers or the Mexicans trying to get their cars started on Sunday mornings...

"...there’s a state delegation in Texas...trying to figure out why Texas is pulling business out of California..."

It's magic, I tell you. Texas has put the hoodoo on California. Those businesses and families fleeing California to Texas, are under a spell!

Nothing else can explain it.

Jerry Brown also signed a new California law that establishes that all matter coming out of the backside of a bull will henceforth be called “California Gold” and will be legal tender throughout the universe.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Taxifornia......Nobama’s model for America. Stick a fork in it.

[tennmountainman]

It all depends on who’s moving out. If liberals are packing their bags and bringing the same mindset that destroyed Calif to other states...watch out. Liberals are state destroyers.

Dear Californians,
Don't believe Texas is where you want to be. It's hot and humid, we have fire ants and hurricanes. Property taxes will kill you if some six shooter toting drunk don't first. Yeah there's that Austin enclave of ex-Californians but we don't recognize that as Texas anymore, even if they are holding the capital hostage. Course Dallas ain't much better but least it's near Ft Worth and Arlington, what they call up there the Metrosexualplex or something. You won't want to breathe the air around Houston, or up in the Piney Woods if you've got allergies like most of you sissy's do. And you won't find that California cuisine thing called presentation or plating with the little artichoke in the middle of the plate neither, you'll be lucky to see the dang plate with a big ole chicken fried steak hanging off the edges. Trust me, everything is bigger in Texas and that little Prius you love is going to be blown off the road by some real woman in an F-250 on our soon to be posted 85mph highways. It might make you feel at home to see so many Mexicans but ours have been here long as the country has and they work, hard like Texans like to do. So please for your own sake stay in California or move to Portland, Seattle, or Denver, you've already screwed them up.
Love ya
Bubba

Southern California’s giant sucking sound comes from the porn studios in the San Fernando Valley.

I think that CA should be forced to become an “energy island”. No exporting their pollution to other states. Make them live on what they generate. If they generate it and pay for it, who am I to argue. But export of stuff they do not want to other states around them is not in keeping with the spirit of the Sierra Club. On second thought, maybe it is since that spirit is “We got ours, you go suck wind.”

When enough business and people leave California, their current renewable generation will be able to meet the 33% requirement. The demand will probably fall that much.

[thackney]

Last year, while the rest of the country's electrical demand went up 4.9%, California's went down 3.5%.

Keep jacking up the prices up and running businesses out. They will meet their goals.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

These people are sick.

But everybody here already knows that, save for a few trolls.

Wind Power works great as demonstrated by this working Airmotor water pump just two blocks up the street from the Vast Bender Estate...
