Brainwashed commies can’t be taught. They will blame the evil oil companies rather than their comrades in gummit.

Merry Christmas

I thought Apple Computer was the biggest company in California.

Um, the largest Texas-based corporation is ExxonMobil which is headquartered in Irving, Texas. It is bigger than Chevron.

Last I looked, Apple was larger than either one. Maybe not anymore since the stock is down.

I’m glad the actors will be left behind. It would make a great twilight zone episode.

Pretty soon Texas will become just like the states that these folks are trying to escape.

We should confront every transplanted liberal from a blue state and ask them why they moved. Their answers will be fodder to 'try' and teach them on the stupidity of voting for Dems for which later they flee. One can only hope the logic penetrates some dead brains and hearts of stone.

I believe Apple is coming to Nevada - parts of it are anyway.

No matter. We taxpayers will support them.

I remember going to Cali for the first time as a young man in the early 70s. It was amazing for sure. Good weather, booming economy, cute girls.

California has always been a cultural bellwether for the USA. That continues today, but it portends doom.

Now if only some Texas corporations would make some moves to protect America jobs, we’d have the basis for a rejuvinated GOP in the makings.

Uhh, Texas just protected some American jobs. Do you have any new material? Your stuff is getting old.

>>>Bring back US jobs.

Bernanke is furiously working on this: it’s called money printing, which leads to hyperinflation, which eventually makes the US Dollar cheap, making the US a “leader” in low cost labor when the global economy starts a recovery. I guess we have to “Zero” out before the phoenix can rise again.

The only thing that will ‘wake up’ Californians is when the Fed Govt ‘pulls out’ as in San Diego being outsourced to maybe Ensenada.

They already ‘gave/sold’ Long Beach to the Chinese, along with letting China ‘have’ the Panama Canal.

Japan had the wrong way to go about it back in the 30’s/40s.

China is where they(Japan) wanted to be and hasn’t ‘officially’ fired a shot - Let Korea, Vietnam etal do their nasties for them, Now that they ‘own’ the canal, drilling for oil in the Caribbean and a great Port of Embarkation in CA they kind of got us surrounded.

Widen the Panama Canal to facilitate the Super Tankers should be very interesting....

Exited the once “Golden State” recently and not looking back whatsoever. In the future, Guv Moonbeam can be comforted by the fact that his lefties will reelect him and take the state closer to bankruptcy while the illegals will accelerate the process. Ole’

” but it seems to be making the move to becoming Texas’ largest corporation instead”

Unless there’s been a very recent change, Exxon Mobil is bigger than Chevron
