I get it. California used to have a successful economy. My state used
to have one too. Businesses are definitely leaving my state, and the
media suggests that it's due to high taxes, but I honestly have no
clue.

It's due to Ignorant Elitist policies that are well-known to be failures. High taxes being part of those policies.

Some people think of it as a bad word, but I don't. It's just an
economic system that in some cases benefits people equally.

Socialism has **never** benefited people equally. It claims to do so, but never does. The end result is **always** an Elite class that lives in luxury and a non-elite class that lives in poverty.

I agree, but the working class can consider themselves to be "equal." Equally getting the short end of the stick.

Law enforcement in California... the LA area especially but not only... has not done a good job at all keeping theives from targeting rail shipments. It has become so bad that the rail companies are moving their intermodal yards far away from the cities they are currently near.

Maybe the the rail companies need to secure their operations and work with law
w enfocement when needed.

Law enforcement is not the problem here.

There is not a whole lot a private company (or citizen) can do if the local
DAs won't prosecute the crimes. Taking the law into their own hands would
be illegal.

So I half-agree with you. Local LEOs may not be the problem, but the local
DA offices sure are.

DA's can only be effective if they have evidence or witnesses to work with. Theives don't leave any of that behind if they can help it.

Failing that DA's will not spend their time.

Taking the law into their own hands would be illegal.

I guess so.

So I half-agree with you. Local LEOs may not be the problem, but the local DA offices sure are.

If theives find a weakness they will exploit it. That is true in your local neighborhood as it is in the rail yards. Rail yards may be able to invest where needed to make that exploitation hard, or less valuable to thieves in their haul.

Which is why they are moving their yards out of the high-crime, low-prosecution, Democrat-controlled urban areas of CA and into the

I forget get what city it is... one of these 3 in Texas... Austin, Dalis or >> Huston... filed this year to be a financial HUB for the south. Seems that a >> lot of major banks and trading firms are moving to Texas... Not just for any
reason... They are citing Taxes and high Regulations.

If I was running a business the bottom line would be a key point in my decisio
making and location.

Which is why you might leave California for a state that had a lower
corporate tax rate, or for one where the cost of living is less than the
one you are in, or one where you get more for your tax dollars (human waste-free streets, better law enforcement, etc.) than the one you are in.

That is a lie. California and New York both have successful econimies.

No they don.... Both are failing... Both have people moving out of the state... Recently Elon moved all his California holding out of
California to Texas... Chevron Oil is also moving from California. All complaining about regulations and high taxes... and poop on the
street.... Ohhhh and Silvester Stallone... among many others are moving out as well. There are more people leaving California and moving in... The wealth is leaving.

But remember that Alan thinks only what he's told to think. He's unable to think for himself. All evidence that goes against what he's been told to think is "false news", or "conspiracy theory".

That's why these Ignorant Elitists disappear every so often. The evidence that they were wrong is so strong that it can no longer be denied. So they have to go back to their masters and be told what to think.

Hence why they will deny saying something when we all have records of them saying it.

Since Kathy Hochul's rogue regime took over, now businesses are being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars just for breaking bank policies.

I couldn't find any info about this.

Google 'New York state banking nra unconstitutional" and I think you will
find plenty about what Aaron is talking about. The state attempted to
coerce banks and insurance companies to coerce them into not doing business with the NRA and other second ammendment support groups. The state did so by promising, among other things, to be more lenient on them, regulation wise,
if they did as asked.

The NRA won their case with the help of the ACLU.

This assumes I know what Aaron is talking about.
