California under the communists Democrats have destroyed much of itself. Moonbeam is finishing the job.

It was a wonderful place when I lived there as a child, circa 1960-74.

I worked out there in the energy industry when Gray “Slave Us” was the governor.
NEVER AGAIN!!! CA doesn’t deserve any fossil-based energy of any kind.
Let em drive their solar-powered cars.
God Bless Texas!!!!!

The recent decision by Occidental Petroleum to move its headquarters to Houston from Los Angeles, where it was founded over a half-century ago, confirms the futility and delusion embodied in Californias ultragreen energy policies. By embracing solar and wind as preferred sources of generating power, the state promotes an ever-widening gap between its declining middle- and working-class populations and a smaller, self-satisfied group of environmental campaigners and their corporate backers. If I had to guess at the amount of tax income lost and also the number of jobs lost (including inverse multipliers) I'd bet that I would come up tragically short of the actual figures.
It's a total shame that the Dems (who own the state, and who are busily coming up with their regulatory agenda for this year) don't know where money comes from, and don't know why taxpayers are fleeing the Once-Golden State.

I am an Engineering Manager in Dallas. After evaluating one of of Engineers I told him he would be raised up to $78 k.
He was outraged.
I told him he was at the 90th percentile for Engineers 3 years out of school.
He was still not happy.
Welcome to boom town.
I have to give him a 3k bonus to boot.

Texas experienced stronger job growth than the rest of the nation from 2000 to 2013, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Not only that, a pair of researchers note in a Thursday research publication, but Texas leads the nation in creation of jobs at all pay levels, too. Nevertheless, the leftist vermin are immune to facts and will happily inhabit their fantasy, welfare-state world until reality, one day, gives them a good swift kick in the keister.

My Uncle lived there 1945 to 1979. Said that it was wonderful.
He then moved to the Florida Keys.

Outraged? I’m a former career counselor. He should kiss your feet.

Nice to know. My son goes to LETU in Longview and is becoming a Materials Joining engineer. Graduates next year. Are you hiring any interns?

To: US_MilitaryRules
Yes. I believe in internships.
I always take two at a time; only 20 hours per week each except for Summer.
Their job is to graduate, not to intern. Keep their eyeing the ball.
Plus the subtle competition of two in the same job separates the motivated from the pretenders.
Send me a private message if you are interested.

It was a wonderful place when I lived there as a child, circa 1960-74. Compared to the California of today, those were some pretty golden years. I say that as someone who was born there in 1953, and who only left for good in 2005.
To listen to the elders in my family, the 1930s to the 1950s were even more golden, but those times are like a dream that never even happened. I don't know if my California will ever be resurrected.
At least I got to experience it while it lasted. I'll die in peace one day, and my kids will spread my ashes on the plains of Texas.

As we noted above, Texas does have a larger share of its population earning the federal minimum wage or less than any state but Idaho, but it helps that things are cheap. How do you earn less than the federal minimum wage? Are they including prisoners in this stat?
Do they include the farm population in their wage numbers?
Did they figure in the size of the state or the average age of workers?

I don’t know. Even waiters and waitresses have their own minimum wage, albeit lower than the standard one.

The problem I see is that all the Calif socialists are moving to conservative states and will soon be voting their socialist BS for those states as well
