With California facing a corporate exodus and an $470 million dollar loss with SanDisk relocating to Austin, can California stop the bleeding?

No it's too late now, but they're all still fawning over Gavin Newsom who caused all the destruction, and putting him up for president, where he'll do the same thing to the entire country.

In under 6 years he stole $24 billion from homeless programs (and homelessness (called “unhoused persons” in California) is more out of control than ever), $17 billion from the bullet train (which after over 25 years still hasn't laid one foot of railroad track), and $20 billion from federal “climate change” programs.

He also used federal money to pay for free healthcare for illegal immigrants, which he said would cost $3 billion and is now over $12 billion a year, which all U. S. taxpayers are paying for from their paychecks. Californians who are American citizens are paying thousands a month in premiums for their own healthcare, whether they have the income to afford it or not; most do not.

Now (a year too late), he wants $38 billion from the federal government for people to be able to re-build their homes from the fires. But based on his abysmal track record, the money will never get to homeowners, and they're not giving out building permits anyway, because they're intentionally trying to force people to run out of money and have to give up their property so the state can build low-income high-rises. Also they're starting to tax homeowners again on their still-unusable property.

Just 2 days ago the SBA and the EPA arrived in California to give out money directly to the homeowners, and to grant building permits immediately with just a 2 page form. Already the city and state are trying to stand in the way of this, saying they won't allow the houses to pass inspection when they're finished.

Also, the LA Times just ran a front-page story on Monday about how the LA mayor altered the official fire investigation report removing herself from all possible blame. More than enough firefighters, but no fire trucks, no water in the fire hydrants, and no water in the 117 million gallon reservoir meant to supply this water, and the mayor left on a pleasure trip to Africa as the fires were starting, and didn't come back until a week after they were over. Even today, in January 2026, peak fire season, there's still no water and no working fire trucks.

And it's a lot more than $470 million, that company does $8 billion a year, and that's jobs and homes and consumers and taxes, all gone. Just one of thousands of companies leaving.

Considering this is the same state from which 80% of all federal funding comes from taxes, I think they’ll be okay

Not just corporations but people too. If they want to stop the exodus they need to lower taxes

LOL, thats bullshit, kiddo.

Get something more substantive.

We are hardly bleeding. It's just a few people leaving. We don't even notice that.
