    The people. People makeup an economy and are the primary driving force. Also the cashflow of those people. If big businesses want to make more money then they will want to be doing business with Californians.

      TIL people only exist in California and also can’t do business with California outside of California.

        My guy, let’s drop the snark for a minute here if we’re having a dialogue. You know we’re talking about Californians and business in California.

        Not everyone lives in California, but based on the context of the conversation of California’s economy, then businesses doing business with Californians are subject to California law and California taxes. If Amazon wants to sell to people in California then they have to play ball by California’s rules for instance.

          You know we’re talking about Californians and business in California.

          I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about, sorry. Some vague mention of “people” and nothing to do with the California economy or why billionaires can’t engage with it from outside of California.

          Amazon wants to sell to people in California then they have to play ball by California’s rules for instance.

          We’re not discussing Amazon or any other company, we’re discussing billionaires. Bozos can easily move his primary residence to Texas or Colorado and pay his taxes accordingly, and Amazon can continue doing 100% of the things they’re already doing.
