That's all I was looking for. I remember Tesla leaving California due to their Gestapo State EPA buffoonery.
It looks like more of a California & New York thing as opposed to a nationwide change.

It's been going on for 50 years that I know of. starting in the 70s northern companies moving south. my Dads last job his company moved out of Cleveland to near Buffalo in 1990 or 91 they got a local deal there, off they went.
Growth you need to expand more room and workers. as a owner you shop around. a buddies machine shop just did this last year. they got a deal to stay in NC and not move out of state.

And all that has to do with State and not Federal government. So, if the Feds apply a tax nationwide none of this state stuff matters.

#1 never thought you were a hand over more money to the feds type guy. plus that would not change city, county & states from competing for jobs/business to come to their areas.

The truth about taxes is only people pay them. they are ALWAYS just passed on to you & me. thus fuck taxes every chance you get.
