Heard a sound bite of Bernsteins interview this afternoon.
Pretty basic question. “Why borrow instead of printing more money?” Good lord, he stumbled over the answer like Biden going up the steps to Air Force One.
[quote quote=8327]End of the article says they already moved HQ to Austin in 2020. Of course I have no idea what that means. A corporate HQ for a massive company can be 10 people. I wonder how many employees this pulls out of California?[/quote]
6500 in Redwood City, about 13.5% of the city’s workforce. This article goes back a couple of years, but I can’t see where much has changed. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/west/companies-are-rapidly-leaving-california-study-finds-heres-where-they-are-going/
This is a good source for tracking corporate departures. https://californiapolicycenter.org/the-california-book-of-exodus/
CEO of Belong, a residential property management company on why its relocating to Miami -“Belong CEO, Ale Resnik, emphasized the cultural fit between Miami and Belong: “Miami represents a glimpse at a possible future of the USA. One that’s multicultural, more pragmatic, and less ideological. This is an ecosystem where consumer tech can blossom.”
More pragmatic and less ideological- sadly wonder if the west cost will ever be described this way. Not in my lifetime, I’m sure.
Well, finally someone calling out a media outlet for its overt bias. (At least someone not named Trump and someone that is definitely not a MAGA guy.)
What is amazing to me (and proof MSM is in the liberal bag) is the absolute silence about Schiff. Mr. Irrefutable Proof that Trump colluded with the Russians. The guy is running for US Senate, and not a peep from MSM about his lynch mob mentality in going after Trump.
I just shake my head.
Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.
“The Biden administration has struggled to draw attention to its significant immigration successes, instead contending with the ever-present pressures at the border. Changing the national narrative may be its most difficult challenge to confront.”

Reading bios for the Board of Trustees, there is good reason to think a little bias might be in play.
“As Cardinal fans return to Stanford Stadium for the 2023 season, they can expect several changes to improve the fan experience.”
I failed to notice any mention of winning. That would improve this fans experience.
In other news, man bites dog. I’m betting the under on voter turnout this year. The only way this election gets mildly interesting is there is a honest to goodness third party contender. Or Biden fails to make the cut at the convention.
I stopped watching SOTU when it became even less relevant than Oscar night. Both have equal portions of political chest thumping. At least I can hope for a wardrobe malfunction at the Oscars, although the current trend in evening wear is basically a wardrobe malfunction looking for a place to happen.
Not that I’m complaining….. 🙂
I’ll see your failed liberal policies and raise you a drug crisis.
When you decriminalize hard drug position and allow open use in public, is it any surprise you get a spike in overdoses and deaths?
Questions you will never get answers to at a press conference.
“Gov Newsome, for the tax payers of California, how do you explain missing on your budget forecast by a factor of 2? Secondly, what is your plan to eliminate the deficit?”[quote quote=8147]Surprising precisely no one, SVB Financial (Silicon Valley Bank’s former parent company) sued the FDIC when the FDIC seized $1.93 billion in cash during its takeover of the bank. That was 10 months ago, about two weeks after the failure. The FDIC is acting as a receiver for the bank, and is gathering the bank’s assets to repay SVB’s creditors. SVB Collapse: FDIC Removed $2 Billion Cash From Parent Company – TheStreet Just recently, however, the Internal Revenue Service made a $1.45 billion claim against the FDIC re: SVB for taxes due between 2020 and 2023. The FDIC has denied the entire tax claim. The IRS says the court should overrule the FDIC’s decision to deny the tax claim and make a new determination on the validity and amount of taxes owed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/irs-sues-fdic-over-silicon-valley-banks-14-billion-tax-debt/ar-BB1ieuRl[/quote]
Oh, goodie! This will be fun to watch.
Yet liberals insist there is not an immigration problem, and this assault is not about immigration policy. Uh- What? True, the release of the assailants is not an immigration policy issue, but it begs the question – would the attack occurred if the White House insisted on enforcing current immigration laws?
I believe he will draw from both sides. Those who believe Biden is doing a great job will vote for slow Joe. Those who believe Trump is the second coming will vote for Trump. Those looking for an alternative might turn to Kennedy.
Its anyone’s guess as how many run to Kennedy, who has his own issues. Still hoping a miracle occurs and Trump is determined to be ineligible to run.
In all fairness, the Oregon legislature is trying to clean up a voter initiative mess. The law was so eff’ed up, a person could openly smoke Fentanyl in a public park but you could get arrested for having an open beer in the same park.
Incredibly, the measures supporters still maintain we are criminalizing addiction, not solving the problem. Of course, the standard answer to any problem is more money is needed for outreach programs and facilities.
The insanity of Oregon’s approach is the assumption that addicts will make responsible and reasonable decisions. Misunderstand addiction? Well, duh.
California, Oregon and Washington have similar programs for dealing with addiction and homelessness, spending billions with little to nothing to show for it. How long will it be until voters start paying attention.
