The Top 40

Incredible - as in defying belief. We're almost out of golden egg-laying geese to fry.

In paper mill towns I was always told that the stench was the smell of money. Wealth creation often involves some pain for those who create it and those who benefit (employees). So it is for this company, but the progressives don't understand money or wealth creation. They'll wonder what happened to the golden eggs.

Yes, Jimmy J, except that Progressives do not ever stop to wonder, or they would not be Progressives.

The Left intends to ride that flaming wreck all the way to the crash site.

They're not waiting until the last business leaves to put the match to the place.

Idea: Can we get a trebuchet large enough to fling Harry Reid over the mountains in to the conflagration?

Toyota USA is moving their corporate headquarters here (DFW) from Torrance. Six thousand jobs, the great majority of which pay in the high-five- to six-figure range. We residents of North Texas would like to thank the people of Southern California for sending us another highly profitable corporation, and the generation of sales tax, property tax, and commercial revenue its employees and their children will pump into our economy.

Sriracha will be welcome, too. We love the smell of spicy food here. And money, of course.

Cannibal Pot:
Where everyone gets to eat for free until there's no one left.

Or, as Margaret Thatcher said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

California: Oil: almost gone, until they run out of every other business to tax the crap out of. Nissan, Toyota, GM gone. Honda: almost gone. Movies: production anywhere but CA. Henry Roofing materials (from the land of the La Brea tar pits), gone to Texas. Sriracha: getting gone to Texas. Aerospace: still there but steadily shrinking. Silicon Valley; importing H1-B workers by the boatload, production anywhere but CA. Central Valley farming: steadily shrinking, but with more mouths to feed pouring across the border. Disneyland: $100/ticket. Divide up the state into six parts so there's even more government jobs to pass out, now they'll need six bureaucrats and polis for every one before. Cali's can't defend themselves, while the police can murder citizens with impunity. The homie yutes in Oakland, Governor Brown's last job, have PTSD. And they're building a $100 billion train to nowhere. While the idiot Brown and his ilk are worried about the sea level rising.

I don't know man, I don't think you can fix crazy.

Here's where a good earthquake would come in handy. Regret any collateral damage but worth it as we watch the thing fall over into the sea.

I left California in 2004 with no regrets. I still feel sorry for extended family members who remain in California, and I sorta wish they would leave for their own good, but that's their decision, nothing I can do about it.
