California is at it again

Except they didn't ban all travel.

They didn't ban any travel.

You do realize that if someone wanted to go to a work conference in a state not on that list, the government of CA would pay for it, right? See no problem in that?

And if they wanted to go to a work conference in UAE, they most likely wouldn't pay for it. Damn, a state spending money as they see adequate.

Except they didn't ban all travel. If they banned all travel it would be fine.

They didn't ban any travel.

[Rasulis]

If NY, Cali, and Texas all did that, they would be within the top 10 easily. Top 15 if Florida leaves.

This is just an op-ed piece from Bloomberg. Still pretty interesting though. I still don't understand how this state is doing so well despite all the insane business and environmental regulations.

Well Kansas got rid of tons of regulations and that didnt end well. I dont think regulations are a factor so much as types of businesses

[Bathory]

Yeah, California, that cesspool. I guess it should be more like that bastion of wholesomeness....Alabama?

Maybe the whole "Regulations hurt Business." Mantra is just plain and simply false and that good practice and an educated populace with modern tech based business is more important in how money is made.

[Garnier Fructis]

So without the money they can't travel, essentially a ban. Thanks for Clarifying.

They can travel on their own funds.

Playing dumb with an added hint of smart-ass still doesn't make you clever.

You don't understand because you don't want to understand.
Plain and simple, such understanding would get in the way of your own narrative, which is apparently anti-environment.

I love how the left loves to laugh at alternative facts when they coined and endorsed the use of it under pretty much the same terms for about 3-4 decades now.

???it was, quite literally, coined by that piece of trailer trash, Kelly-Ann Conway durring an interview quite a few months ago.

What you said, right there, is another "alternative fact", or - as we normal people call it - a lie.

So Trump should change the executive order to state something like "All means used to travel from Syria will be outlawed" not technically a ban on travel, you just can't do it. I'm glad you would support such sanctions.

Banning all means of travel means that they cannot travel there. It's still not the same.

And you are still not clever. These are arguments worthy of freshman philosophy majors.

No. They could have a bit of integrity.

[TexasRules]

Everyone should be excited for this. This is how democracy works, if a state wants to do something that only affects the people who work/live in their state, they should be able to something without interference from the federal government.

[munkeyinorbit]

So for you poor souls who have a brain stem and live in California if you are a state worker you can no longer travel to Texas, Kentucky, Alabama, or South Dakota
Can this state just become rotten out cesspool and cecede already.

Ermahgerd.

California has done something, I MUST call that place a cesspool otherwise my retard card will be revoked. Grow up.

Something you a lot about? I saw you more of a Gender Studies kind of guy.

Looking at your rather poor ability to string together words into order to form sentences, I see you as more of a High School dropout.

"Something you a lot about?" indeed.

In your defense, I saw the world in a very similar light while I was in college. You get into you mid 30's and things change, you will see one day.

Let's consult the big board:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compar..._GDP_(nominal)

Yeah it's still an economic powerhouse.


Don't feel bad, though. Texas has almost half the GDP of California.

Random curiosity, any idea how much of CA's GDP is from the billions (and billions!) of dollars Hollywood generates?
