Ever tried running a small machine shop or done manufacturing, etc? You want to talk about regulation . . .
Obviously, many business owners in CA are not as nimble, as they are fleeing the state, closing shop, letting people go. My sister-in-law just got laid off from a small firm. Another family member of mine let his employees go, as the compliance and taxes didn’t warrant their continued employment and the burden managing them. Out in the I.E., we may approach a 20% real unemployment rate, but the CA legislature is doing nothing to promote growth. In fact, after the largest tax increase in history, they still want to increase taxes.
From my perspective, a taste of what is to come from the federal government. Maybe those millions and millions of green jobs will save us though? I’ve always wanted a windmill on top of my car.
