Newsome is Texas' best salesman.

Well done California.

Good .. the fewer fossil fuel operations here the better ...

Ca politics think they are gods driving away all kind of Business they underestimate everything

One day only the takers will be left.

Chevron just moving headquarters for cheaper and less tax they still be getting their profits from every single transaction done on their name it’s just less taxes

The Governor and legislature should impose an exit tax on any business with over 50 employees if the company leaves the state. Employees of the company should also have to pay a real estate transfer tax on the sale of their personal houses.

When they say it's not political, it's political.......

Good riddens Chevron too many gas stations in California!

Chevron's real (TRUE) home is in Missouri. Wait and See. Wirth is wrong and it will cost the company.

That $2T loss on the stock market is just the start.

Hopefully in 4 months that will change

Chevron made like Davy Crockett, they told our state, "Y'all can go to hell, we're going to Texas!"😅

It’s going to get expensive in Texas

Texas must love Newsom. He is bringing so much business and tax to Texas.

I like internal combustion engines.

California voted for this, more bigger companies will leave, they will have to tax more to make up for lost tax revenue. Sad, very sad, Liberal thinking is ok, WOKE policies very bad....

Prima Donna golden boy Gavin Newsom pretends that this move by Chevron is a good thing because they wouldn't get on board with his egotistical environmental initiatives. The state is bleeding people and jobs and soon the only folks left in the state will be the super rich Hollywood Caucasians, the poor illegal immigrants and the Prop 47 criminals the Democrats released to prey on the other two groups. Newsom along with the super majority Democrat Legislature is eliminating the middle class. But he doesn't care because he is being term limited out of office and now has his sights on the Presidency so that he can destroy the rest of the country.

That’s ok. Plenty of other companies will stay, just the large ones are leaving.

Great governor. Everyone's leaving. 🤣🤣🤣 Like Kevin O'Leary said. This state is a dumpster fire.

Who needs 5 billion in taxes and all those jobs.

This is all Governor Gavin Newsom's fault!

Larry Elder anyone ?

No worries.
ARCO will take over. 😂

We don’t need anybody else in Houston, geeeez it’s gettin too packed down here

Don't worry California will replace the chemical engineer positions lost from Chevron with more lawn care and roofing businesses.

Cut the welfare and force ppl to work. Everyone is tired of gov. Overspending.

Send Newsom to Texas as well.

So weird, gas companies are only gouging people in the state of California, but no other state😮
It’s the politician screwing everybody over over.
Taxpayers will never be able to make up this lost revenue . Oh my God, California is sinking faster than the titanic

That's going to allow more forgien gas to come to Western seaboard the government better pay attention

I believe Newscum was recalled when we wanted it and just like the presidential votes it was rigged again. We are absolutely screwed here. To the rest of the united States we are coming and no vast majority of us don't want to "California" your state.

They want tax cuts and free drilling, Cali won't give it so they're gonna go be a tax burden on Texas. Good riddance and good luck Texas.

Good riddance. The move will be good for them - they can pollute as much as they want in Texas, buy off the state and local politicians, and no one will be able to touch them. They've been ticked off ever since they failed to takeover the city of Richmond a few years ago.

Dont build anymore refineries. Increase the price of oil!! $$$$$$

This is good government leadership?

Homeless Moving Headquarters to California 😂

Houston is a hell hole.

Do not come to Texas we're past capacity!! Next thing you know we'll be having more and more sinkholes. Let us be our lonesome state with the foreigners

Be careful of this. Chevron will move from California to Houston, Texas but the bad thing is they going to move their woke employees here with the company. We Texans don’t want their workers employees to move here so I say to Chevron be very careful for what you do and this goes for any company that decides to move from California to Texas

All these ppl going to Tx makes me sad for Tx. These corrupt companys are looking to exploit Tx.
That sucks for a state that worked hard to keep that out. Then Abbot comes along and banks on Tx.

Im crying for billionaires.


O nooo..THE HORROR!!

What about the middle class in Tx.
They will have higher taxes due to these billionaire companys moving in to get themselves lower taxes.
The middle class in Tx gets screwed.

BUT THINK OF THE BILLIONAIRES...
OOOO NNOOOOO!!!

Get woke go broke, mr Gavin gruesome.

Is California really charging that much for gas? Here in north Texas it was $2.85 a gallon today. Nice to see companies and people voting with their feet.

I am often asked why I left California. I’m a fourth-generation Californian and the owner of two successful consulting firms. My decision to leave California was a deeply personal and challenging one.

While my roots were firmly planted in the Golden State, the compelling reasons to depart became impossible to ignore. Firstly, the surge in crime rates was a pressing concern. California's high crime rate had a direct impact on the safety and well-being of both my employees and my family, making it increasingly difficult to maintain a sense of security. Add to that California leads the nation in oppressive gun laws…try getting a conceal carry permit, buy a gun or purchase ammunition…and legislation that encourages crime.

Secondly, California's educational system, once a source of pride (UCLA ‘71), has fallen behind significantly, earning it a reputation for having one of the worst educational systems in the United States. It’s no longer education…it’s indoctrination. This decline was a significant concern for the future of my children, grandchildren and my employees' children and the generations to come. When in California, I still interviewed prospective employees, and it was alarming that college graduates couldn’t do simple math without a calculator, write a comprehensive paragraph describing why I should hire them, and have an attitude of an entitled moron.

Coupled with the above, the homelessness crisis and the associated filth on the streets has created an environment that is both hazardous and disheartening; further contributing to the erosion of the state's appeal.

Moreover, the state's high gas prices, high utility bills, water police, EV / green energy mandates, climate extremism, porous border policy, the attacks on Prop 13, home insurance rates, natural gas appliance bans, exorbitant income taxes, and burdensome corporate taxes were taking a toll on both my businesses and my employees' finances. In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state's primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in “clean air efforts”. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state. Now get this…now they are planning a mileage tax because they say the EVs are not paying gas taxes, so they too will be assessed a new tax to help pay for the maintenance of deteriorating infrastructure.

The deteriorating infrastructure and an array of mandates, including vaccine and mask mandates, added to the growing list of grievances.

Add to that the insane idea that somehow raising the minimum wage will help the poor. Workers in areas where the minimum wage was increased were thrilled at the prospect of more money. Then reality hit. They were no longer eligible for subsidized housing, paid child care, Medicaid and food stamps. Many of them ended up with LESS income than before. Minimum wage jobs were not intended to be career choices. They were entry level jobs and first jobs for teenagers, not illegal aliens. They were intended for those entering the job market to purchase gas for their cars and acne medication…not subsidized lifetime employment.

The mismanagement and corruption in all levels of government, epitomized by the controversial high-speed rail project, and a proposed mileage tax, were the final straws that led me, as a fourth-generation Californian, to make the difficult choice to leave the state in search of a better future for my employees and my family.

After retaining counsel, visiting many states and discussing options with my family and my employees, I decided to make the move from Commifornia to Texas for several compelling reasons. At the outset, one of the most striking differences I noticed was the friendliness of the people in Texas. Texans are renowned for their warm hospitality and welcoming nature, which made the transition to a new state much smoother and more enjoyable. It's not uncommon to strike up conversations with strangers and be met with a genuine, friendly demeanor that I found refreshing.

Additionally, Texas boasts several other advantages, such as better schools, improved infrastructure, and the absence of both income and low corporate taxes. The quality of education in Texas is notably high, which was a significant consideration for my family and my employees. Better roads not only make commuting more convenient but also contribute to the overall quality of life. The absence of state income and low corporate taxes is a considerable financial benefit, allowing residents to retain more of their hard-earned money. Moreover, a new proposition which passed in Texas to lower property taxes further solidified my decision to move, demonstrating the state's commitment to reducing the financial burden on its residents. In essence, Texas offers a blend of practical advantages and a unique sense of pride and community that I've come to cherish.

Sure, people will bring up problems facing Texas, but what amazed me, Texans aren’t afraid to face them head on. An individual still has a voice in Texas.

I always hear the same, rebuttal…the beaches, the mountains, the desert, the climate…and my response; my ancestors left Europe to find freedom and prosperity…I have left Commifornia for the same reasons, plus, I’m surrounded by people who think like I do!

Commifornia has the weather, it has the water, the state had the best schools in the world, the safest communities, and a booming middle class, but all that was eradicated…virtually destroyed, by decades of the very policies that now the Gavin Newsom’s and the Kamala Harris’ of the world want to now force upon the United States. F’em.

Those of us who left Commifornia have retreated much like a military retreat, or withdrawal…a tactical operation where a military force pulls back while still keeping in contact with the enemy. We will consolidate our forces, occupying easier-to-defend ground, and force the Dems and the radical left to overextend, leading them into an ambush, and saving this great country from defeat.

To summarize, Commifornia has:

* The highest cost of living in the Continental U.S.
* A diminishing middle class, down from 62% in the sixties to 48% today
* The highest rate of cost-adjusted poverty in the U.S.
* One third of all U.S. welfare recipients
* Half of all unsheltered homeless in the U.S.
* Higher level of income inequality than all but 5 states
* Huge geographic disparities, with median household income in some regions at only one third of the more affluent regions
* Ranked 49th in homeownership
* K-12 system ranked 40th (D+ grade)
* Last in literacy in the U.S.
* Once highly-rated infrastructure now ranked 31st

I have absolutely no regrets leaving Commifornia… F’em!
