I’ve long suspected that the Democratic obsession with federal policy is to try to reduce the appeal of other states where companies may want to move.
It’s often seemed like people in California would prefer that a manufacturing operations operate in Asia and come through their ports rather than operate in the middle/south US.

- SavantIdiot 5y agoNaw, Cali just wants clean air and water, and manufacturing doesn't want to pay to not screw the planet. That's why companies pillage Asia: their environment is for sale to the lowest bidder. Capitalism without regulation, baby! You're making the same conservative argument about wages: if you pay a living wage companies will flee. No, if a company can't pay a living wage, it shouldn't exist. Likewise, if a company can't manufacture products without destroying the environment, it shouldn't manufacture those products. I'm just a conservative. A nature conservative.
