That article is a load of donkey doo, Guess the author does not remember how Jimmy Carter nearly destroyed the economy, and How Ronald Reagan saved it, and How Clinton inherited a great Economy, and how when Clinton left office, he left an economy in a recession.
Who can forget 21 1/2 percent interest ? The dollar is worth 25 percent of what it once was, thanks to Jimmah Cahtah.
This guy has never traveled west of the Mississippi, apparently.
The state of Kalifornia is hurting from a million directions businesswise, because the overwhelming Demorat legislatures in the past years have hammered business with every tax, fee, requirement that they could possible think of.
We have requirements for trans-gender persons to be shielded by their employer from any "discomfort" from retail customers who might be offended or at least startled by the she/he or he/she who just stepped up to serve them. Then this issue gets even better when you have to provide "appropriate" bathroom facilities, and the question of what box they check on the health insurance form gets dicey.
This is after the REQUIREMENT that all companies with 20 or more employees MUST provide good health insurance at NO MORE than a 20% premium portion for the employee is sitting on the current ballot. If that prop passes in Kalif, look for massive layoffs, splitting of companies into multiple divisions, or just mass exodus.
Workmen's comp insurance problems have been building for decades, and the DIMS have laughed at the business owners when they complained. They are also in love with the concept of a "living wage" in San Fran and it is spreading.
What is a living wage for me and what is the same for Donald Trump is way different, me thinks. A couple I know seems to have a hard time living on over $250,000 a year, and I live on less than 10% of that.
Republicans don't treat employers like this. They have learned much more than the DIMS about how hard you have to work to have the responsibility of signing the FRONT of the paychecks on payday.
