The flight from California is accelerating. Let’s just hope that they don’t turn Texas blue in the process.
Tech giant Oracle Corp. said Friday it will move its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, and let many employees choose their office locations and decide whether to work from home.
The business software maker said it will keep major hubs at its current home in Redwood City, California, and other locations.
‘We believe these moves best position Oracle for growth and provide our personnel with more flexibility about where and how they work,’ the company said in a regulatory filing.

This month, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, one of the early companies in Silicon Valley, said it will move to the Houston area and build a campus with two five-story buildings by 2022.
‘HPE’s largest U.S. employment hub, Houston is an attractive market to recruit and retain future diverse talent, and is where the company is currently constructing a state-of-the-art new campus,’ the company said in a statement.

I would point out that there is nothing stopping Wisconsin from attracting businesses like this. It’s a choice.
Its like moving from Cuba to freedom.
Leftists just don’t get how oppessive and abusive their ideology truly is.

Nothing except oppressive taxes that are just slightly less oppressive than California, brutal winters, and now a governor openly hostile to private enterprise.
Not to worry!! Tony’ll catch up if he has his way. NUMBER ONE!! is his goal.
I just spent 2 weeks in the Los Angeles area for work.
To say that LA is disgusting is an understatement. People are not free. You cannot go to a restaurant, the homeless is everywhere, the liberal politicians just constantly lie, people have a defeated look on their face, you have people wearing masks while they are walking down the street and no one is within a half mile of them, taxes are extremely high and so many are out of work.
This is supposed to be liberal paradise but in reality, it is a shit hole 3rd world country.
If you think this is good for Texans, there’s a few dams on the Cali-Oreg border I’d like to sell you.
Silicon Valley to Austin is a lateral move,
