    None require access to cable TV shows.

    Particularly ones that have a history of lies and deceptions, such as FOX.

    You'll need to link to proof of that. I live in California and I can still see the mass exodus.

    Scarry, indeed.

    Again: 800+ women killed by household firearms meant to "protect".

    Then you should be able to prove it.

    You know: actual numbers.

    California Remains No.1 for Business and Job Growth
    Posted on January 4, 2016 | Lasted updated on January 4, 2016 by kedc-admin

    [​IMG]It’s not new to hear that California’s business climate is a perpetual target of ridicule. Out-of-state politicians and critics of the state’s regulations have delighted in depicting California as an inhospitable place to do business. Last year, Kern EDC covered a similar story that shed light on contradicting evidence that proved California was actually one of the the largest, richest and most diverse economies in the United States, as well as one of the nation’s fastest-growing economies and a national leader in job creation.

    A new study, drawing on more than three decades’ worth of census business-formation data, further details what makes California a leader for new businesses and jobs despite criticism. The following is an expert from the Los Angeles Times.

    California has spawned new businesses at one of the fastest rates in the nation over the last decade, and faster than the U.S. economy overall, the report found. The state is also a leader in job creation tied to those new businesses. In 2013, California added jobs from newly established businesses faster than all but four other states.

    Maybe they should move out when their husband gets a gun.

    Funny how you keep insisting I make the claims and never back them and
    somehow facts find their way into my posts and not yours.

    Do you read your sources or just the first line?

    Economist Christopher Thornberg, a founding partner with Beacon Economics, acknowledged that California’s isn’t the most business friendly state. But he said the state’s economy is still moving in a positive direction.

    “Some companies do move out of California because of cost concerns,” he said. “Would I like to see those jobs stay here? Of course. But we still added more jobs than Florida and Texas put together. If you take a good hard look at things, our state is largely a success story.”


    Figures from the state Employment Development Department show that California led the nation in year-over-year growth in June with 461,100 jobs added — outpacing Florida’s new 244,500 jobs and Texas, which added 171,100.

    You never backed up your claim that I said 5,000,000 Puerto Ricans hate America. How come they're not called Americans?

    It's in my post. Your story factors in the last 30 years, just look at my post to see the last 9 years. :roll:

    Yeah, I guess you didn't read your post that's why I quoted the part that
    points out that you are wrong and I guess you have problems reading
    graphs even when they are in color, even if it was a 100 years old you
    could look at what happened last year and see California lead Texas.

    "Less than 1% of all businesses that disappeared in California in 2013 were due to out-of-state relocations, according to data from Youreconomy.org, which tracks business dynamics across the country. That's in line with the average for all states."

    The Hollywood studios were talking about leaving until CA gave the yuge tax breaks.

    It doesn't "oversee" Texas elections.

    You don't get to claim 30 million people signed up, when factually 7 million are currently signed up, and the high mark was around 9 million. Meanwhile, you messed up the insurance of everyone that was already being responsible with health plans in place. Your plan failed. Miserably. People are being hurt by the failure of your plan. But, your leaders refuse to even discuss fixing it, because it's more important to save Obama's legacy, than it is to save lives. SAD!

    Texas doesn't need to give tax breaks. Our taxes are already lower. Hollywood stayed because the cost to move would be factored into the equation.

    We wouldn't follow Hollywood blindly and kiss their butts like they are accustomed to anyway.

    If they're that annoying, maybe that's a good idea.

    I posted what's happened in the relevant 2008 - 2016 time period. Citing job growth from 30 years ago is a joke.
