Yet another major company is pulling out of California. This time it's Nestle and they are taking 1200 job with it.
Still, you may wonder, why did Nestle really go? Well, apart from having higher taxes, absurd housing costs and more regulations than nearly any other state, California's wacky laws have turned the Golden State into a venue of choice for activist groups to file costly class action lawsuits — or to launch anti-corporate PR campaigns against big, wealthy targets like Nestle.
Such corporate harassment is now routine in a state whose top officials and local politicians — virtually all of them far-left progressive Democrats — actively despise capitalism.
California is quickly turning itself into a state of the very wealthy in walled off and gentrified areas, a huge underclass dependent government handouts, and farmland. A description of any 3rd world country.

Way for form your post to make it appear like someone from Nestle gave those quotes instead of them being the sentiment of the far leaning right author of the commentary, Terry Jones.

The factories they have here are staying. The bulk of Nestle's CA employees are also staying.
The HQ is moving to the DC metro which isn't exactly cheap.
It makes sense considering that the bulk of their business is on the east coast.
Still, it is a shame to see those jobs go away. There is a bit of truth in the deranged screeds of right wingers who can't stand that CA is successful though. It is true that CA, and in particular the Bay Area, have turned into places where it is exceedingly difficult for someone in what should be a middle class job to live. LA is still pretty cheap but the lawsuit-happy activists do tend to make life difficult. There's a reason your cup of coffee in CA comes with a warning.
In my dreams Nestle's would leave the USA. They have always been low life.
Now that the USA has gone nuts over bottled water, they are worse than ever.
Every time you use a bottle of water imagine it is 1/4 petroleum. That the amount of petroleum it takes to put that bottle of water in your hand. Then the world is left to deal with the damn bottle.
Have ya seen the photos of the Pacific plastic island the size of Texas?

California tax policy, and immigration, certainly fuels the banana republic like economic conditions.
However Nestle is not a company I would covet in California. I would not trust them next to a glass of ice water. You don't need them bottling water in California.
Nestle is based in Switzerland. I suppose if they followed Trump's nationalistic ideas, they would close all facilities in the USA and move them to Switzerland. But they are a global company and thus have operations in many countries, including the USA.
They are moving their US HQ from one blue state(CA) to another blue state(VA).
