Mayor announces new e-commerce company moving to Reno

When will Democrats finally learn?

NEVER.  NEVER.  Even when they turn into a macro version of Detroit, the Left will continue to vote in the Leftists.  Utterly disgusting and pathetic.  There is no learning.  Only making things worse.

Executives from Zazzle said that they choose to move their distribution and manufacturing center to northern Nevada based on Reno’s quality of life as well as the ease of doing business within the state.

“It is very hard to do business from a manufacturing perspective in California,” Bridget Smith, vice president of Zazzle, said.

Zazzle currently has three facilities in California, two in the Bay Area and one in San Diego. Approximately a year and a half ago, the company started looking for a new location for its manufacturing facility.

“We set it up so all of our leases would co-terminate,” Smith said.

After looking at many other locations across the United States, the company choose to settle into Reno. Zazzle is working closely with Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada’s Stan Thomas as well as Kylie Rowe from Dickson Realty during this relocation.

“We are just hoping for a better lifestyle for our employees,” Smith said.

Another Big Company Departs California — Will Last One To Leave Shut The Lights?

GET OUT!!!!!   GET OUT!!!! NOW!!!

Investors Business Daily:

You may wonder, why did Nestle go?

Well, apart from having higher taxes, absurd housing costs and more regulations than nearly any other state, California's wacky laws have turned the Golden State into a venue of choice for activist groups to file costly class action lawsuits — or to launch anti-corporate PR campaigns against big, wealthy targets like Nestle.

In recent years, Nestle has faced two such activist-led actions, both spurious: One involves allegations that Nestle improperly documented its anti-slave-labor policies. The other involves Nestle's selling of California mountain water under the Arrowhead brand, a decades-old business that has suddenly become environmentally incorrect.

Such corporate harassment is now routine in a state whose top officials — virtually all of them far-left progressive Democrats — actively despise capitalism.

Until just two years ago, Nestle made its signature "Hot Pockets" brand turnovers in another L.A. suburb, Chatsworth. But it closed that business because it couldn't expand. So it moved the operations and hundreds of jobs to Kentucky. If Los Angeles objected, we're not aware of it.

But Nestle is only the latest to understand that California has rolled up the welcome mat for job-creating businesses that actually make things. In recent years, Toyota shifted its U.S. headquarters and thousands of jobs from Torrance, Calif. — another L.A. suburb — to Dallas, while global oil giant Occidental Petroleum moved its corporate HQ from Los Angeles to Houston.

Sadly, such tales are common. But because many of the companies are much smaller than Nestle, Toyota or OxyPete, they don't attract as much notice.

Calif. To Consider Enacting Statewide Sanctuary

CA sliding into the ocean of oblivion.

When this ends, and it will end badly for CA, there won't be one Democrat in the whole state.  And that's after all the rest have left this God forsaken state.

California may prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, creating a border-to-border sanctuary in the nation’s largest state as legislative Democrats ramp up their efforts to battle President Donald Trump’s migration policies.

The legislation is scheduled for its first public hearing Tuesday as the Senate rushes to enact measures that Democratic lawmakers say would protect immigrants from the crackdown that the Republican president has promised.

As I've said in the past:  GET OUT!  GET OUT!  NOW!

German electric bike brand moving U.S. headquarters to Denver

And it's too expensive even for the Germans!

In Germany, where the company was founded in 1996, one out of every five bikes is an electric bike, he said.

The company's U.S. office was wooed from southern California, where it opened in 2015, by Colorado's interest in outdoor recreation companies, Miner said.

"It was the support and response we got from the state of Colorado," Miner said. "They sat down with us. They worked with us about e-bikes."

The electric bikes are made in Germany, but Miner said the Denver operations could expand into manufacturing within the next 18 months. Schweinfurt, Germany will remain the company's world headquarters. Miner said Haibikes (Hai means shark in German) is the biggest electric bike manufacturer in Europe.

“Having our entire U.S. team working together under one roof will be instrumental to our future success,” he said. “Colorado is a forward-thinking, technology-driven state that places a high value on outdoor recreation."

Op-Ed Leaving for Las Vegas: California's minimum wage law leaves businesses no choice

Another is out of there!

After two years in business, my company now has more than 150 clients from all over the world and 18 employees. It’s what’s known as a cut-and-sew house, part of the garment industry that generates about $17 billion in annual economic activity in Los Angeles County, including $6.9 billion in payroll, according to a 2016 industry report by the California Fashion Assn. This is the epicenter of apparel design and manufacturing in the United States; domestically manufactured clothing is more expensive, but retail and wholesale customers who care about quality and working conditions have historically been willing to pay for it.

Unfortunately, the industry is on a downward trend. Los Angeles County used to have more than 5,000 apparel factories; today, my company is one of roughly 2,000 — and many (e.g. American Apparel) are looking for a way out. One Los Angeles Times headline, quoting a California State University economist, warned that “the exodus has begun."

Here's how many employees will move from California as Hardee's parent company moves to Franklin

The convoy out of CA continues.

CKE Restaurants, which owns sister burger chains Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., is beginning its exit from California in March as it moves its headquarters from Carpinteria to Franklin.

CKE (NYSE: CKR), founded 60 years ago in Anaheim by Carl Karcher, said 51 employees, including 24 in Carpinteria, opted not to relocate to Tennessee, which will be home to 120 corporate employees, reported the Orange County Register.

Manhattan culinary staple China Fun shutters, blaming government over-regulation

And what will NY do?  They will decide it's necessary to pile MORE business killing regulations onto people.

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN?

NEVER.  The city will die.  People will die.  New York will look like Detroit.

That's the way it goes.

Albert Wu, whose parents Dorothea and Felix owned the eatery, said the endless paperwork and constant regulation that forced the shutdown accumulated over the years.

“When we started out in 1991, the lunch special was $4 a plate,” he recalled. “Now it’s $10, $12. The cost of doing business is just too onerous.”

Wu cited one regulation where the restaurant was required to provide an on-site break room for workers despite its limited space. And he blamed the amount of paperwork now required — an increasingly difficult task for a non-chain businesses.

“In a one-restaurant operation like ours, you’re spending more time on paperwork than you are trying to run your business,” he griped.

Increases in the minimum wage, health insurance and insurance added to a list of 10 issues provided by Wu. “And I haven’t even gone into the Health Department rules and regulations,” he added.
