Love how Gov. Brown insults companies that are leaving. Sorry Jerry, but smart people, when mistreated and overtaxed, leave. More companies are going to leave.
Socialists just can't believe that their noble efforts aren't appreciated. They don't get it. They'll just double down on their 'progressive' agenda, hoping the peons will accept their marxist plans.
Moonbeam was talking about smart people in Ca's gooberment, but if there were any they wouldn't be crying about the flood leaving the state! Pretty soon Ca will be broke because socialists need to steal money from somewhere and that well will be dry. They'll try to sell the state back to Mexico thinking they can stay in power but Mexico will kick their asses out and where will they go? No one will hire them except for another failing democratically run loser state or maybe even Detroit thinking the same ideals from elsewhere will work! Keep beating your heads on the same wall there Moonbeam. You might break through and find those working braincells you lost, moron!
Politicians, most of all Liberal politicians, are telling people and businesses the only thing they are good for is voting and paying taxes. This ex born and raised Californian left the cess pool state in 2000.
good for you, but if you had stayed & got all your friends, family, neighbors together & voted all democrats out of the office, you could have saved California by now. someone needs to do it. they need to start now. stop blaming everyone else, get everyone together & VOTE. get them out now & save your state. if California leaves the union, who will bale them out? the illegals? they will over run you & take over everything. where will you be then? just another Texan telling you how it is. wake up Californian.
Anyone who moves from the people’s republic of California to America needs to leave their sanctuary city, open borders, welfare state cultural marxist SJW antifa bullshit behind or they will make themselves very unwelcome wherever they go. There are many states that have seen a lot of transplants from mexifornia and the natives of those states don’t want their states turned into a libtard paradise.
So now here we are 4 years later. Toyota has completed building a new small city in Plano Texas. So many people both current and new moved there and bought new homes. They came from Michigan, Kentucky and most of all California and the only argument put fourth was, well we don't have tornadoes in California. Stupid is as stupid does.
This is huge, and sad. Toyota's presence in California goes back many years, to the 1960s. When Toyota first looked at selling cars in the U.S., they checked out road conditions in California as their benchmark, and California car culture and drivers as their judges on what Americans wanted in a car. In the 1970s, California welcomed Toyota and other Japanese carmakers, like Datsun (Nissan,) and Toyota set up their TRD off road and truck design groups there to check out the Baja races in the early 1980s and gain information on how to design their (excellent) light trucks. Someone in my family has a 2004 California-built Tacoma truck, still running and still a neat truck. They build good cars in California. I am sure Toyota can build them well in Texas, but I feel bad for the workers who have to either move or look for other work, they build great stuff in California. The California state government pulling that stunt with hiking taxes to cancel out the Federal tax cuts was probably part of it, just very short-sighted. I just feel terrible for the workers who built one heck of a truck.
David Powell. Don't feel sorry for the workers. They are white collar ( intelligent, hard working ), make good money ( meaning they pay high taxes ), and I would hesitate to say 50-75 % were probably looking to quit and move out of Kalifornification anyway. Topic at every coffee break and meeting might of been about how a person could move out of state yet keep their job. Collectively they realized moving the company was the way to go. Done deal. All happy. Only surprised Gov. Brownie did not at least attempt to seize their assets as a penalty and a warning to other companies planning to leave. Soon Kalifornia may build a wall, not to keep others out, but to prevent IT'S people from escaping. A word to the wise. A stitch in time...
The time to fix this was before the problem started. Getting those businesses back will take decades or longer. Middle class and blue collar jobs are leaving with middle class and blue collar workers following. You get what you pay for? Yes, and that is why it is why these companies are paying to leave. It is worth it.
You should do a report on the trucking industry in California. Not only are perhaps as many as 50% of the US trucks outright banned from entering California, now local companies are required to pay their drivers hourly instead of percentage or by the mile as is customary throughout the rest of America. Freight rates to and out of California are at least 20% higher because these excessive regulations creating and perpetuating hyperinflation there.
People are fleeing also! $350K for a 550 sq.ft. house in L.A.. 2K rental for a small flat in San Francisco. Who can afford that? Wonder where the homeless come from? Yet the Democrats in California want to bring their bright ideas to the entire country!
In the age of the internet and emails a corporation can essentially set up anywhere and run its operations. So long as there is a viable airport nearby it doesn't make sense to stay in a place with high taxes and burdensome regulations.
I’m from Texas and I tell folks in CA where I live all the time. Texas knows how to grow an economy. No revenue tax and no state income tax. If you’re renting in Texas, the cost of living is low and you’re pretty much not paying anything in taxes unless you’re a property owner.
I am going to either Texas or Oklahoma. I am am getting sick of this baloney, Toyota moved to Dallas, Texas and Mitsubishi moved from Fountain Valley to Nashville Tennessee. Also movies and TV shows are also shooting overseas in Canada.
Public traded companies are answering to their shareholders not to politicians, the companies will move to the place where they make most money for their shareholders.
Huy Fong didn't move but I bet they wish they did because they almost got put out of business last year after locals complained about odors from the plant.
Come to Missouri. Not St. Louis. Missouri is VERY company friendly. Low taxes. Reasonable rates on both leasing and buying property. We can talk St. Louis after we PURGE the northside.
Hosted a luncheon for Toyota during this transition. Most were going to Texas the rest opt for severance package for the job that's NOT coming back to Ca.. can only hope that the workers find a better job elsewhere that doesn't require them to ask : do you want fries and a diet soda with your order?
Go ahead, just keep voting the commie Brown and his ilk back in office. Go ahead, let him blame Toyota for not being smart by letting the government run the company out of the state. Instead, you fools should be taring and feathering Brown and running all of his kind out of the state on a rail. They should not make it to the border alive. Californians are proving themselves to be nothing but self-aggrandizing fools.
California has intensified its extortion of companies being strangled for every penny. I grew up in CA and it has been disheartening to see the change from friendly to aggressive in the business sectors. Sacramento wants the money to further it's socialiat policies.
Have the legislators look to Hollywood for inspiration since they're really good actors. You've seen them play legislators on TV and in the movies, why wouldn't you think they've got all the answers, they're famous and sheeple like that.
It is not unusual for companies to flee tax states. I live in an area that took a worse beating during the 70's and 80's. Eastern Pennsylvania lost all their manufacturing, from textile to steel. Most moved south or left the country to avoid taxes and to get away from the unions. I don't see California fading away as long as they have all the seaports to unload Chinese junk and endless cheap labor pouring in.
Jerry Brown, sociolist, the homeless crisis, high taxes, and immigration are wiping California out. They will have greater hardship paying out welfare and other social programs. 💘 from San Diego!
Now I understand why Toyota left California and moved to Texas. I live only about 15 miles from their headquarters in Plano, Texas. Wow!

Fuck Toyota and Honda go back to Japan!
Cal Escapee me too..
They will.
Lol he said smart people figure out how to make it haha they already have figured it out, they are getting out of california
Sean Spitler Amen
Sean Spitler He is a dumb puppet of the real entities that run CA.
When will Jerry figure it out?
Moonbeam was talking about smart people in Ca's gooberment, but if there were any they wouldn't be crying about the flood leaving the state!
Pretty soon Ca will be broke because socialists need to steal money from somewhere and that well will be dry.
They'll try to sell the state back to Mexico thinking they can stay in power but Mexico will kick their asses out and where will they go? No one will hire them except for another failing democratically run loser state or maybe even Detroit thinking the same ideals from elsewhere will work!
Keep beating your heads on the same wall there Moonbeam. You might break through and find those working braincells you lost, moron!
@@wilrobles9824 Jerry's already got a handle on it ,they're already lining his wallet

Should've changed their slogan from "Let's go places" to "Let's GTFO"
chicken636 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love that one!
Yes, Mr. Brown, smart people figure out to leave California.
Californians are Moving and bringing their politics with them...thats trouble.
Scamp Man One can only hope they have learned.
They'll vote for the same Democrats that cause them to flee California. They're just dumb.
You're seeing this play out in NV which used to be pretty reliable red but has gone to lean blue

This is very good news. Still waiting for the Big One, that California is moving into the Pacific Ocean.

This is the headquarter for US Toyota. Manufacturing wasn't in California.

LET'S GO PLACES. Like to Texas.
Please don't.
Welcome to Texas Toyota! I have a Tacoma, Rav 4 and a Highlander.
Jobs/businesses are leaving DEMOCRAT California and moving to REPUBLICAN Texas.. 'NUFF SAID.
It won't be long until California's the poorest state in the Union
'Lots of little burdens, regulations, problems'.....
Gov Brown is simply out on a cloud
Hahaha! Smart people figure how to make it. Yes they know when to move out!!🤣
what a joke brown is
The new Detroit
People are fleeing also! $350K for a 550 sq.ft. house in L.A.. 2K rental for a small flat in San Francisco. Who can afford that? Wonder where the homeless come from? Yet the Democrats in California want to bring their bright ideas to the entire country!
Tesla is moving to Texas too.
Paradise Lost
Well there will be 3000 homes vacant now for the squaters to live in

This was from 2014 and things have gotten a lot worse.
Eugene Mitchell And will continue to get worse
Los Angeles is becoming the next Detroit and Baltimore.
toyota leaving is just a little problem? its the begining of the end.
Sold my house in California I am also getting out
Here in Texas our economy is rocking and booming. When our economy slowed down it was still far better than the nation 👍.
This is why love living in Texas!
“The great weather only goes so far.” It’s going so far that CA will become a big socialist Cuba: too pricey to live here, we are just visiting...
" You get what you pay for", I think you mean, "You reap what you sow".
Their government is not going to stop any of them from leaving until every last one of them is gone and nobody can afford to live in the state
Jerry Brown wears the emporers finest garments well.
California - please don’t ever change - we like taking your productive citizens and job-creating employers!
It's a pity Jerry Brown is not one of those smart people he referred to.
Jerry, you are full of it. Anyone can see it.
He is right about one thing. Smart people can figure it out on how to make it.
Smart people figured it out.
Move out
4 years later companys are still getting out. I can't blame them
I live in Florida. We have no state income tax and no car inspections. Florida does not tax your car on an annual basis.
I’m from Texas and I tell folks in CA where I live all the time. Texas knows how to grow an economy. No revenue tax and no state income tax. If you’re renting in Texas, the cost of living is low and you’re pretty much not paying anything in taxes unless you’re a property owner.
Make it illegal to leave!It was tried in “Atlas shrugged” but didn’t work out so well!
1:36
yeah a lot of places don't have those little burdens and taxes.
I can't give you all a thumbs up but the comments on this board are spectacular
This will give California a head start at figuring out how to live without these companies, as opposed to the states where they are "going"...
Three decades of exodus, now the flags are going up. The Kool-aid has been potent.
I am going to either Texas or Oklahoma. I am am getting sick of this baloney, Toyota moved to Dallas, Texas and Mitsubishi moved from Fountain Valley to Nashville Tennessee. Also movies and TV shows are also shooting overseas in Canada.
Jerry Brown is right smart people will figure out to make it and they did moved to Texas
Public traded companies are answering to their shareholders not to politicians, the companies will move to the place where they make most money for their shareholders.
No you don't get what you pay for if you live in California or Illinois.
They have Great Weather
Most are going south into Arizona
Over the top regulation and over taxation. Its super simple to see why they are leaving.
When people thought of the American dream they thought of you Cali, everybody wanted to come to you, you were THE GOLDEN STATE!!....RIP California.
Jerry Brown sounds like Dobber from the show Coach.
Every year more businesses leave than enter that state. When will they learn?
will the last company leaving the state please turn out the lights
Huy Fong didn't move but I bet they wish they did because they almost got put out of business last year after locals complained about odors from the plant.
They should fire everybody from Governor mayor to whatever it takes fire fire them all
Come to Missouri. Not St. Louis. Missouri is VERY company friendly. Low taxes. Reasonable rates on both leasing and buying property. We can talk St. Louis after we PURGE the northside.

Much of CA's movie industry moved to Georgia and Georgia has now seen those jobs drying up.
You listen to jerry brown and that pretty much sum it up why companies are leaving.
Gov Brown reminds me of when Nero stood and played as Rome burned.
the seattle city council needs to watch this
Smart people Jerry figure it out that's why they're saying bye bye to California.
I left in 05, the best decision I have ever made.
what they NEED is to get RID of the people running the state and local Gov't
California is crazy expensive.
Ironic how moonbeam said that in Lancaster. Both very anti small business.
Come on down to Texas!
California has intensified its extortion of companies being strangled for every penny. I grew up in CA and it has been disheartening to see the change from friendly to aggressive in the business sectors.
Sacramento wants the money to further it's socialiat policies.
So Moonbeam is calling Toyota not smart?! What a train wreck Cali has become.
The savings won't create jobs, they will create shareholder dividends.
They gonna love that Dallas 99% humidity..but getting away from Brown is it
It's funny how the governor literally just just stated cliches and analogies. People who are smart don't do business in California.
Smart people figure out how to make it? That was a terrible thing for a governor to say
Joe Brown the smart people have figured out how to fix it , they are getting out of California
Have the legislators look to Hollywood for inspiration since they're really good actors. You've seen them play legislators on TV and in the movies, why wouldn't you think they've got all the answers, they're famous and sheeple like that.
Hahha that is libertardd for u..
I don't think that Ford , Chevrolet and Dodge has any dealerships in Japan. Why are they here? Politics gone wrong.
It's been 5 years and they still have not made it better at all.
"A few problems"???? The top problem is Moonbeam, and they go on from there
It started with Rick Perry and now those companies are seeing the promise land....Texas

"you get what you pay for"
if it too expensive how can I pay 😅
NO ladies...it's time for the PUBLIC to do something about the STATE LEADERS !!!
Texas America's True greatest state
Nothing changes if nothing changes
That Jerry Brown speech made 0 sense.
Let's start a go fund me for everyone that wants to leave CA and watch it collapse lol
Jerry Brown, sociolist, the homeless crisis, high taxes, and immigration are wiping California out. They will have greater hardship paying out welfare and other social programs.
💘 from San Diego!
When I retire from my job in the very near future, I plan on leaving California also, everything is taxes, taxes and more taxes
Bring your business here, leave your ideas there we damn sure don't want them here, here in the land of the free
California Government leaders: We should add more taxes. That'll bring them back!!!
