I don't have to live in California...I love the area. Nevada is looking better and better and as a small business owner about 7 other jobs go with me.
Reminds of some ads the State of Nevada was running on KFI AM---the SoCal talk radio station---around 10 years ago. Clever---a narrative voice-over was enumerating all the anti-business aspects of being in California---high taxes, uncontrolled workers comp costs, etc.---and after every item, you'd hear the "whoosh!" and "crack!" of a whip, and then a plaintive voice saying, "Thank you, sir! May I have another?" Of course, the upshot of the commercial was that the erstwhile masochistic businessperson got fed up and decided to move to Nevada. Very clever---why didn't I act on its invitation at the time?
