Well record amount of small businesses closed and Oracle and Tesla left the state.


Record small businesses closed due the fukking pandemic, dumbass. And your Oracle and Tesla talking point already got corrected in the previous thread when you claimed they were the biggest companies in the world and were going to sink the economy.

Conservatives have been saying Cali is dead for 30 years and it still has a bigger economy and more Fortune 100 companies by far than any other state in the union. :francis:

California is the national leader in something like 6 major sectors, they didn't "bank their entire infrastructure and future" on jack shyt. Oracle and Tesla don't even register in Cali's annual GDP.

Two Trump-slurpers are leaving California after building there for decades and now we're supposed to believe that means the end of Cali's economy. :stopitslime:
Why don't you just ignore that Apple, Intel, Google, Cisco, Hewlett Packard, Chevron, Seagate, Sun, Adobe, Applied Materials, Amgen, Tetra Tech, West Valley Engineering, General Atomics, Synopsys, Symantec, SolarCity, AECOM, Avery Dennison, Beckman Coulter, Leoch Battery, and the Cooper Companies are all on that list too?

Not to mention all the defense contractors (Raytheon, Northrup Gruman, Honeywell, Rocketdyne, Lockheed Martin, Flir Systems, etc.)

Not to mention the UC and CSU systems, by far the best and biggest public university system in the country, which not only employs a huge number of well-paid professors and administrators but also is a continuous pipeline of highly educated talent into the state.

Not to mention some of the best private universities in the country (Stanford, CalTech, USC, the Claremont Colleges) which do much the same.

California leads the nation in software development, leads the nation in hardware development, leads the nation in biotech, leads the nation in advanced manufacturing, leads the nation in aerospace, leads the nation in higher education, leads the nation in media. We have so many high-paid employment sectors it's ridiculous. Not to mention other vital sectors - we're #1 in agriculture, #3 in oil, have several major military bases, and are the restaurant capital of the world. NO ONE is diversified on that front as well as we are.

My point was that all these claims - Texas is cheaper, Texas has fewer taxes, Texas has more space, Texas has less regulation, etc. - have been made for 30 years. Everyone is well aware of them. And yet California still has the best business and industrial base in the nation. The fact that a couple disgruntled Trumpers with a low employment base are getting pissed about the pandemic rules and want to leave doesn't mean jack shyt in the long run.

Tesla and Oracle are not the largest corporations in the world, they aren't even among the top-10 biggest companies in California. That's Apple, Google, Facebook, Disney, Chevron, Wells Fargo, Intel, McKesson, Hewlett Packard, Cisco. Cali has over 50 companies in the Fortune 500. :stopitslime:

There is mad diversity in that list, and it didn't even include shyt like the enormous agriculture industry (produces enough food to feed the entire country if it were necessary) or all the defense contractors in Los Angeles (no one company has a massive employee base but they all have large, very well-paid staffs and get huge government contracts).

Now tell me, where were Tesla and Oracle again?



California has a massive economy and companies grow and shrink, move in and out all the time. LOL at you talking about the Raiders leaving when they just built a giant stadium in L.A. for the new Rams team. Are you aware that Cali profits basically drive professional sports in America? bytch-ass teams all over the country needing to bum off the Cali profits just to stay afloat.

You’re still comparing fukking free range, anti-antibiotics, grass fed chicken to normal one. Of course it’s almost double the price per lbs. Anything grass fed, anti-antibiotics is almost always 2x the price. Also, Walmart is cheaper than other stores. Not all stores have the same price even if they’re the same brand.
He sounds like a out of touch white boy who’s mama does his grocery shopping, almost like he doesn’t understand how things work in the real world :patrice:

That was just a copy-paste error, in the original conversation you claimed that HP and HPE were leaving and were proven wrong both times. I quoted the correct parts about Oracle and Tesla leaving (which are owned by angry Trump-slurpers and aren't even top-100 employers in California) but messed up that part, fixed it right away but you quoted me too fast.

You too forgone. Nothing about me represents MAGA. I'm Pro-Black before any party or politician. The problem is, ya'll look foolish in here cracking jokes about the same organization that disrupted and dismantled every black political movement worth a damn, that was actually for self-determination. But I'm MAGA cause I'm telling you folks are out here struggling with outrageous gas, food and rent prices.
I'm too what, sir? This Russian bot is jibber jabbering now. Circuits fried like Putin's right arm :mjlol:

Again, you arent even being honest with yourself here. HP did move to Texas. How was I wrong about that ?

?

you 0/2 for so far on this subject. Wrong about Oracle, Tesla, HP/HPE, Rams so far.

Want to get into Twitter? Salesforce?

I will say they been riding in on DeSantis for the last year though. Rick Wilson at the Lincoln Project can't stand DeSantis and believes he is the evolution from trump to a more so a super genetically engineered maga mascot.












Yeah, he's dangerous no doubt but he doesn't have the hypnotic cult leader personality that Trump has, so he'll never have people riding for him the way they ride for Trump. Trump is an anomaly, like Agent Smith in the Matrix.

:dead: at a 6-year old team that just finished its stadium the year before last not being "new".


California lost one football team and added one football team, so your point about the Raiders was nonsense. You don't think that new stadium has been a big influx to the Inglewood economy?

You ignored this link. I'm really trying to understand how this is possible considering California's collapsing economy:

Raiders had a high probability of staying in Oakland when Rams moved to LA, going on 7 years this season by the way. a team being in a city for near 7 years is not new :martin: cut it out
