California keeps doing things that make people want to leave
California's liberals just can't help themselves. Their state is already in such decline that it is losing big-name companies, losing population, and losing seats in Congress. But they won't stop doing what it takes to drive away every business and profitable venture they possibly can.
In 2020, the Democrats who control California's legislature very nearly drove Uber and Lyft out of their state, formerly the cradle of technological innovation. They would have succeeded in this effort at self-harm but for a judge's last-minute intervention. Now they are attempting to set employee hours with a central planning scheme that would be hilarious were it not being proposed in earnest.
California Democrats now want to impose a four-day workweek on all large employers. No, this is not the innovative "4/10" plan that some workers and businesses have voluntarily adopted. Rather, this is a hard 32-hour cap on the regular workweek. This bill, were it to become law, would require businesses with more than 500 employers to pay overtime beyond 32 hours despite banning (or attempting to ban) affected businesses from paying their employees less than they currently make for working 40 hours.
In other words, California's legislators think they can force companies to pay employees 25% more per hour of work without any negative repercussions for California's economy and business climate. What could possibly go wrong?

It looks like they are going to send more businesses to Texas and Arizona. Elon Musk should consider moving Twitter to join his other operations in Texas. He has already been talking about turning their Californai offices into a homeless shelter since employees do not come to work anymore.
