One need only look at HQ relocations of major corporations from 
California to see the clear and obvious trend.  Oh and part of the 
reason there is a trend?  The idiots who have the power to do something 
are in absolute complete denial unparalleled in modern history.  Royal 
France is the closest thing that come to mind:

Policy Institute of California, points out, the exodus never happened - 
or happened in such tiny numbers that it was insignificant."
