California under the communists Democrats have destroyed much of itself. Moonbeam is finishing the job.

Perry has the right idea.....get rid of everything in DC..except defense and a few other things....bring the money back to the states....DC makes the mafia look like chump change

Tesla may be in the mix also.

I worked out there in the energy industry when Gray “Slave Us” was the governor.
NEVER AGAIN!!! CA doesn’t deserve any fossil-based energy of any kind.
Let em drive their solar-powered cars.
God Bless Texas!!!!!

The recent decision by Occidental Petroleum to move its headquarters to Houston from Los Angeles, where it was founded over a half-century ago, confirms the futility and delusion embodied in California’s ultragreen energy policies. By embracing solar and wind as preferred sources of generating power, the state promotes an ever-widening gap between its declining middle- and working-class populations and a smaller, self-satisfied group of environmental campaigners and their corporate backers.

If I had to guess at the amount of tax income lost and also the number of jobs lost (including inverse multipliers) I'd bet that I would come up tragically short of the actual figures.

It's a total shame that the Dems (who own the state, and who are busily coming up with their regulatory agenda for this year) don't know where money comes from, and don't know why taxpayers are fleeing the Once-Golden State.

I am an Engineering Manager in Dallas. After evaluating one of of Engineers I told him he would be raised up to $78 k.
He was outraged.
I told him he was at the 90th percentile for Engineers 3 years out of school.
He was still not happy.
Welcome to boom town.
I have to give him a 3k bonus to boot.

Texas experienced stronger job growth than the rest of the nation from 2000 to 2013, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Not only that, a pair of researchers note in a Thursday research publication, but Texas leads the nation in creation of jobs at all pay levels, too.

Nevertheless, the leftist vermin are immune to facts and will happily inhabit their fantasy, welfare-state world until reality, one day, gives them a good swift kick in the keister.

As we noted above, Texas does have a larger share of its population earning the federal minimum wage or less than any state but Idaho, but it helps that things are cheap.

How do you earn less than the federal minimum wage? Are they including prisoners in this stat?

Do they include the farm population in their wage numbers?

Did they figure in the size of the state or the average age of workers?

The problem I see is that all the Calif socialists are moving to conservative states and will soon be voting their socialist BS for those states as well

[ExCTCitizen]

Texas is what California would be with a conservative governor. Of course Texas with Liberals running it would look like California.
