I have a gnome in CA, that is conservative and we have talked about how hard they have made it for small businesses, of which he is an owner of. He has always been optimistic. However, the other day one small company who’s technologies we follow, published that one part of the business is moving to a neighboring State with the hint it was to support a client that uses their product ( ya right, and I am the tooth fairy ). My gnome and I saw through it and noted, something to the effect, “CA sucks man, nobody is going to want to be here w/ the $15 / hr minimum.” Sort of hinting that is one reason why he thought the firm we follow are moving.
Is your gnomes name by any chance Chomsky?
Just wonderin’
