I don’t know who the publisher is – trying to find out – but all of the presentations seem to be factually based, a big deal with me, and very interesting.
Ms. Miller is death on the California regulatory environment.
EDITING: I’m walking this back a little. There are evidently a number of YouTube channels of similar type, with strong criticisms of California and Gavin Newsom. Ms. Miller may be an actress, and behind all, some big GOP money. Nonetheless, the presentations seem solidly factual – again a big deal – and interesting.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

Interesting video. In 2024, there were 113,533 business starts in California with 97,146 closures, netting out at a positive 16,387. I wouldn’t make too much of that because (a) there’s not a lot of red tape for starts of small businesses and (b) fewer closed businesses formally report than actually close.
Still, CA’s average business start rates are lower than NY, and considerably lower than TX
If you’re interested in the regulatory sludge that slows down, eliminates, and drives business out of California, you might consider the PPIC, Public Policy Institute of California. It is a nonpartisan research arm.

The basics? CA is not an outliner in the quantity of business regulations but it is an extreme outlier with respect to the number of constrains embedded in those regulations. Not surprising.
CA businesses, on average, are subject to eight regulations per industry, close to the median for all states. But with respect to specific regulatory constraints, the average CA business is subject to 3,737 constraints. The median across states is 1,400.
If you go on the link, check out Figure 5, particularly the Industry/Commerce link. Your jaw will literally drop.

Along those lines, even though Mayor Lurie wants to promote building more small apartment buildings in San Francisco, few will be built, chiefly because of the net 17.5% taxes that have to be paid on new construction.
