Good day all. Kalifornistan was once known as California, and was nicknamed the Golden State. People and companies moved out there to make their fortunes, and one of the regions became known as “Silicon Valley” after all the technology companies that began there.
One of these companies was Hewlett-Packard, considered one of the Founders of Silicon Valley. Now, thanks to the anti-business environment that the Kalifornistan government has been fostering, Hewlett-Packard has become the latest major corporation to pull up stakes and move out, in this case, to Texas. Here are the details from U.S. News and World Report:
Tech giant Hewlett Packard Enterprise said it is moving its global headquarters to the Houston area from California, where the company’s roots go back to the founding of Silicon Valley decades ago. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office announced that the relocation will increase the company’s presence in the area, which is already home to more than 2,600 employees. The company also has locations in Austin and Plano.
HPE is building a 440,000-square-foot campus in two five-story buildings in the city of Spring, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Houston. The campus is set for completion in 2022.
“As we look to the future, our business needs, opportunities for cost savings, and team members’ preferences about the future of work, we are excited to relocate HPE’s headquarters to the Houston region,” CEO Antonio Neri said in a written statement Tuesday.
This is a major development and should be the equivalent of a virtual 2×4 to the back of the heads of the Kalifornistan governments. The polices of the People’s Democratik Republik of Kalifornistan have been driving people and business out of the state for the last 10 years.
A piece of the original HP brand moving out of Northern California is a loss, at least symbolically, for the tech industry that electronics pioneers William Hewlett and David Packard helped start in a Palo Alto garage in 1939. A plaque outside the home where they worked on their first product, an audio oscillator, calls it the birthplace of Silicon Valley, the “world’s first high-technology region.”
The decisions by major companies to pull out of Kalifornistan is driven by economics. It simply costs to much to run a business in that state, and considering that the idiots running the state are, by and large, Socialists and Communists with absolutely no clue how an economy works, it’s only going to get worse.
Of course, one problem will be employee transfers. The people who may move to Texas are also the same people who helped wreck Kalifornistan. I wonder if they will learn their lesson or simply bring the same level of stupidity with them to their new state. We will find out eventually.
