“Voting with their feet”
I suspect that there are many who want to “Escape from LA”. Just like Snake Plisskin.

I’d leave California in a heart beat if I could find work in another state.

I mentioned to a co-worker this morning that we have two elections coming up. One is on Nov 2nd. The other comes when businesses vote with their feet to leave CA. I guess this is a case of early voting.

I suspect that there are many who want to “Escape from LA”. My Brother lived in Califonia since 1963.
He is moving to Georgia this month.

Texas has added over half the new jobs in the entire US over the last two years. Unemployment below 8%. Come, bring jobs, start new businesses. Texas is OPEN.
