most billionaires behave just like users on social media: they want to be on top, collect the most karma, etc. They arn't leaving a platform as large as California because that means diminishing their power and influence and attention.
shows you also how “smart” they are to “live” in Cali in the first place. you got billions, park yourself wherever the F you don’t have to pay jacksht for being a billionaire prick and get yourselves on of them houses in Cali to actually live instead of whatever shthole houses billionaires for free
Except what’s stupid is thinking the marginal billions of dollars they may save by not paying CA taxes are worth anything.
If you have $5Bn, other than power for power’s sake, it’s very hard to see how the next $100 or $500Bn can actually improve your life and happiness.
OTOH, being able to watch a Broadway show that you may have missed because you didn’t live in the same city, or a drive along the ocean while there was a beautiful sunset, would have significantly greater value to the quality of your life.
endless greed is remarkable. guys with $200B can't afford to pay taxes to the state that allowed them to gain such excessive wealth in the first place, often via government subsidy. this cancerous version of capitalism can't end quickly enough.

so much at stake here, such an understated headline. i'm surprised this is bloomberg.
Thankfully CA has a form of direct democracy that billionaire assholes cannot stop.
They can leave. And they did.
Apparently they didn't go very far.

If we don't allow them to hold us hostage they will all leave.
