Stupifornia bureaucrats will learn the hard way that they are not the fucking boss of real men.

Like many other liberal bureaucracies, power crazed unelected bureaucrats in California have used the conveniently manufactured covid crisis as yet another opportunity to overstep their constitutional powers by demanding compliance with "executive orders" issued by them and by other people who are not the boss of We The People.  They play this game for good reason and that is to acquire and centralize unwarranted power.  It is a game that they feel entitled to play because of a series of past usurpations were left unchallenged or inadequately challenged.  By picking on the small fry first they create a culture of obedience among the weak minded who they hope to convert into fearful little sycophant automatons such as those seen socially distanced around Rand Paul in this recent post.

This game works until it doesn't.  What happens is that if times are good, most people brush off the usurpations as a nuisance not worth bothering with.  But at some point it because clear that the usurpations have become more than a nuisance and in many cases, an existential threat.  That is where we are today.  Many corporations are working hard but have little buffer between them and bankruptcy.  This shut down is threatening their existence.  Today we see that Tesla now falls into the category of corporations that feel at risk because of bureaucratic picking of winners and losers via their faggoty little proclamations.  Elon Musk is now fighting mad and it will soon become apparent that Taxifornia let its little Napoleons go too far in pushing someone who is clearly the most visionary industrial leader of our lifetimes.  This revelation comes in the form of Musk doing two things:
1) suing those attacking his ability to keep his manufacturing lines open
2) promising to move HQ out of Taxifornia to either Nevada or Texas.  By tweeting "Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependent on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.", musk has now committed to leave the state.  He cannot change his mind now even if he wanted to or he will look indecisive and weak.

So there you have it, another very high profile example of capital flight out of California, and for all the reasons I have been saying it would happen: too much liberal bureaucracy, taxation, usurpation of rights and privacy.  In short, too damned many incompetent greedy fuckheads want to be the boss of We The People.  They have proclaimed their own self important and right to power and have demanded immediate compliance and zero tolerance from the true owners of this country, which are the working class labor force.

Anyone who does not leave California will soon get a lesson in what I called long ago condominium political economics.  This is essentially the situation where a high, fixed maintenance cost is placed upon an organization which puts up with it until bad times hit at which time herd members begin leaving for greener pastures.  With each departure, the fixed cost must be borne by a smaller and smaller number of captive idiots who cannot see how they are being abused by a corrupt system that will not reduce its overhead to align with the ability to pay of those who remain.  This parasitic relationship eventually goes into collapse and the parasite dies because it has sucked all the life out of its host.

Dear Elon,

Texas welcomes you.  Yeah we still have liberal fucks in Austin who have more power than they deserve but there is also reality at play as we can see by the sudden and rapid retreat of the the executive order in this state.  When pushed by a lowly saloon owner, Texas didn't just push back and wipe her out with the weight of the state.  Instead, the court which put her in jail was severely and publicly chastised by the governor and lt governor and the TX supreme court overruled her conviction.

If they TX government fears the will of the people to this degree, then it bodes well for a good company like TSLA which is spearheading the way of not just the USA but of the entire freaking  world into electric cars. 

With regards,
The Captain
