Such is the norm for parasites, whether biological or political. And when parasites kill the host, they feed on each other.

Oracle is a great IT technology powerhouse, but I'm unhappy they are relocating to TX, for the same reasons everyone already stated. And I like the company a lot. But I'd prefer the commies keep their dirty Constitutuion hating politics to themselves. But that's what they do.

I'm thinking they're only moving the headquarters staff. This is a relatively small headcount. The major business groups will likely stay where they are. And IIRC, Oracle has a pretty big facility in Austin already.

Just think, a couple of years ago, Beto (Beatoff) O'Rouke gave Ted Cruz a huge scare in the Senate race.

Cruz is one of the best constitutional scholars in the US and Beatoff almost took his Senate seat.

Please, all you liberal assholes who have recently moved to Texas, GO HOME!

Seems to me there will be some regulatory/tax/economic benefits of having the HQ in TX rather than CA. IIRC, Tesla and Hewlett Packard have announced the same.

CA's policies are digging their hole deeper.

This sounds correct.

But my point is that people here are thinking that Oracle is sloshing thousands of Californian's into Texas, when the real number nay be a few hundred.

^^^^^
Quite sure you are correct. My thinking is that such is happening more often in CA these days, CA's political-social-economic clout is dwindling. But CA will deny they are the ones shooting themselves in the foot.

CA's Gov Newsom commented that the nation and the world are looking to CA, and to him - Gov Newsom - to be the light and set the way for the future.

It was reported this morning that people are working on a recall of CA Gov Newsom as his executive orders are doing a lot more harm than good to CA.

The last 8-months of Zoom, Webx, GoTo, etc communications, have provided stuck-in-the-mud executives and board members who insist on all employees working on site, a glimpse into the possibilities of what corporate landscape could look like. While it's true that HP and Oracle are merely moving their executive departments and addresses to TX, the tax implications are a big driver in the move away from CA.

The interesting thing about this is that employees can move to Texas without actually moving to Texas.

If someone works remotely, they can still be taxed in the state where they are employed out of. So if an employee of a California office moves to NV, a state with no income tax, California could still tax their wages paid by the CA employer. But if a company like Oracle shifts their "office" to TX, and the employee lives, and works from home, in NV, the employee would pay no CA tax. I don't know if this is immediately relevant to this situation (the HQ move, since they already have a nexus in TX), but it's something that must drive the CA tax authorities bonkers. I know people who have done this.

The solution is simple. CA will increase taxes on the "rich". But, then more of the rich are likely to move out. So CA will have to increase taxes on everyone (at least everyone who actually pays taxes). But then they will have to increase the salaries of all gov't employees and increase welfare payments. But not to worry, Kamala will bail CA out of the hole.

And Larry Ellison moves to Lanai. Cannot say that I blame him.

Ellison's a strange bird.

Larry is a lot of things -- but perhaps determination and self-reliance are his strongest suits.

Love him or hate him, he's a boot staps guy and not a silver spooner.

If I had managed to earn enough money to buy the entire island of Lanai, I would have moved there many, many years ago!

More libs moving to Texas is NOT what we need.

Also, there is a push (hope it gets bigger) in Texas to remind Californians that they're refugees not missionaries (i.e. don't come and try to spread their failed politics, but instead come and learn our ways). #DontCaliforniaMyTexas

Hate to tell you but you can't fix stupid and crazy.

They're moving on to greener pastures to kill off the hosts.

This is why there should be a 5 year moratorium on voting when you move to a new state.
