Ever heard of the word "Contradiction"? I know, I know, maga learns new words daily but this one applies ALOT to whatever you people say.
Let's see, Valero is leaving California and gonna lose a billion dollars in doing so - because of high taxes? Seems counterproductive (ooo big word, say it with me now "cown-ter-pro-duck-tive"). They're making billions but "leaving" because of taxes? So you're pointing out that a corporation doesn't like to be taxed?
So your solution is to remove their taxes? Gee, can they do that for individuals too? Because I'd bet there'd be a line of Americans for that.
So yea, fuck Valero. They do nothing around here except pollute our air and water while charging Californians the highest prices in America. I know 400 people would be affected, but I'm sure the company will offer them relocation or severance packages.
Oh and they aren't "leaving" California. They're removing their refinery operations. It'll still be a depot for oil deliveries and gas shipments.
But hey, thanks for keeping up on what's going on in California. For someone who hates the place you sure keep your ear to the ground on things going on.
