The California Paradox: if Immigration Creates Wealth, Why is California Poor?
By Spencer Morrison February 15, 2018
From WikiCommons
California is a land of untold opulence. Hollywood’s glitter dazzles the gawking masses, while the world’s most profitable companies, Google, Apple, and Facebook, funnel cash into the Golden State from every corner of the earth. And yet California is also desperately poor.
One-in-five Californians live in poverty, the State’s income inequality is worse than Mexico’s, and untold thousands live on the streets. California is dystopia.

In one of these directions lies California.
You already know which one.

In a decade or so, California will have no White skinned politicians.
I do not know what this is? Like Rome or something? The most ardent racists in California are White people who 'hate' White people. They are killing themselves. OK, fine.
They will all be gone before they know it. They are petitioning themselves out of a job. Where do they plan to live in the future? Once they get their way and California becomes a real third world hellhole, they are going to have to get the hell out of there.
Weird. It is like they want to shit in their own beds and then they want your bed to piss in. What a bunch of sad, pathetic people Liberals are. They hate themselves so much that they are willing to lose everything for it. They are willing to die for it. And that is fine. I don't care. Knock yourself out. I don't care.
Just don't come anywhere near me.

California technology companies are no longer taking advantage of the best and the brightest. PC rules there now. If you are 40 or over, you don't know anything anymore. If you have the wrong political opinions you're out. Google and others are hiring females to replace males regardless of performance simply to make themselves more progressive. It has become political and not about cutting edge.
They've become so fat and bloated that they don't think they can be knocked off their perch. In time there's going to be a big cost to these companies and the state. And once the tide starts to turn it is going to be very difficult to turn back.

That definitely isn’t my husband’s experience in CA. He’s almost fifty, the Chief Data Officer of a large tech company. They recruit based on pure mathematical talent, mainly. Sure, they look for women who are strong mathematicians, but they need too many analysts to turn away people with strong skills.

It should be clear to anyone that California is poor because it does not tax its citizen enough.

Well that company is one of the few. Most companies hire for cost savings and some are open about it.

Thanks for this! It's behind a paywall; is it worth it to subscribe to read? Never mind; found it!
BTW, I wonder how the hiring differences play out in pure tech vs. applied tech companies. Maybe my husband's firm is too specialized -- data scientists of any stripe can be hard to find.

It is primarily programmers/software engineers that all the games are played with.
