Jokes on them. That's when we're all going to move to California and pick up the pieces for a bargain!

Yesterday, I heard a guy from the Texas Public Policy Foundation say multiple surveys show the people leaving California for Texas are generally more conservative than native Texans. By and large, it's right-leaning folks that are leaving California for Texas.

They already have a pretty big campus here. Are they just moving the C-suite offices here? Sounds like they are still keeping their offices in Redwood City.
All I ever wanted was a Black Grand National
**** being rational, give 'em what the ask for.

That is probably what is happening. When the new office opened there were rumors that this may happen.

Unfortunately, they are already blue. Hays more so than Williamson.

That might be the plan.

Reads like it is as much of a mailbox move as anything. I bet it has to do mostly with getting out of as much of the CA tax burden as possible. I wouldn't expect to see Larry setting sail on Lake Austin anytime soon.

Oracle is one of the more conservative tech companies as well, take that for what it is worth.

They are taxed where they are HQed, right? That's prolly a big reason.

So they can wreck both the state and the nation with idiot progressivism they are having to flee from in California? The jobs will be good, but maybe lots of the employees will not want to relocate.

I think this is accurate.

The symbolism of the move matters more than anything else...the reason the Tech Industry built up there is in large part due to the University system in the Bay Area.

That said, I don't think this would make significant electoral impacts until 26...and any major district rewriting until 32.

Frankly, I don't believe that at all.

I personally saw the Cali invasion of Arizona. They were typical left coast Libs. Zero red in them.

People leaving of their own volition may be, but workers relocating due to company shifts? Flip a coin.....at best.

The guy addressed that as well. He said that the left-leaning folks leaving California were generally heading to AZ and NV because those states are more in line with California politics.

Yep. Liberalism spreads like a f-ing virus. Austin will be every bit as BSC lib as San Fransicko in a few years. It's already night and day different than it was just a handful of years ago.

I have news, they already do. IIRC, Larry Ellison had a mansion in Austin for at least 20 years.

Do you really think all their employees will follow?

Lots of people who have never visited have very peculiar ideas of what Texas is like.

Plus, the weather will literally kill some of them

Well, it should increase TX revenue and decrease CA revenue. Also, Oracle has no plans to relocate anyone from Redwood to Austin.

Wow! WTH?

Mismanaged, homeless scum pooping on the streets, defunded police, no cars, big time woke AUSTIN gets another big company moving there?

So much for Go Woke and Go Broke. Third big company going there this year.

There's relative levels of Wokeness in play here.

Austin is less Commie than Kalifornia. That doesn't mean it's 0% Commie. Just less so than CA.

Austin should go ahead and get the Warriors while they are at it.
