Another one bites the dust in California

They shut down an obsolete refinery and opened up a new one in Texas, where they don't care about air pollution--and they won't have to conform to them pesky environmental regulations.

 

Choke and die, Texas! As you draw your last breath, take comfort from the fact that your death has made the fossil fuel corporations richer.

It’s a continuation of a mass exodus of corporations from California to Texas, where a lower cost of operations and living and lack of income tax are draws for large companies. Military aircraft manufacturer Aeromax Industries Inc., software company Oracle, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX and X are all once California-based companies that now count Texas as their home. Some of these relocations go beyond just business strategy. Musk’s move was explicitly political, following the passage of a California law banning schools from requiring teachers to disclose a change to a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity to their parents.

California has laws. Some corporations don't like laws. Texas has none.

Yeah, "Texas has no laws!"  What an utterly stupid response. 

 

That is what you get when you have nothing.

Caliornia has problems for sure.   I wouldnt want to live there.     

I've lived in states that went to far left (NY, IL)  and I've lived in states that went too far right (FL, AL).    I have no desire to live in any of those states again.    Indiana seems to have a good balance (for now at least).

 

As for the Chevron move I dont think it amounted to much.   Most of their people were in Houston already and they went heavy on the Work-From-Home dynamic for their office workers.    The building in California was largely empty as a result.   Most of the California employees will stay in California in their home office.    Exiting the empty building and all of its costs was a no-brainer.

 

My company did the same thing last year.  My office building is now empty and I work from home 100%
