Fox Business-
Bed Bath & Beyond’s Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis announced on Wednesday that the company won’t open or operate retail stores in California, saying the decision “isn’t about politics – it’s about reality.”
Lemonis said in a statement posted on X that the decision was driven by the fact that the company wouldn’t be able to sustain operations in the state due to higher taxes, higher fees and higher wages coupled with “endless regulations that strangle growth.” read more
I’ve got to hand it to Lemonis. He just got a yuge PR boost and did it by sticking his thumb in Noisome’s eye. Very nicely done!
More please. Communists won’t give up voluntarily. Every company that can do it should vacate California, Oregon, Washington New York Illinois the entire north east. Meanwhile borders and guards in the free states, don’t allow the communist populations to follow the businesses or you’ll wind up with more California, Oregon, Washington…
Bed Bath & Beyond to California:
DROP DEAD!
“… due to higher taxes, higher fees and higher wages coupled with “endless regulations that strangle growth.” How in the hell isn’t that about politics???
I thought they went out of biz.
How doncalifornians keep electing corrupt cretins? –Mail in ballots and voting machines.
And what does Nesom do? Insult the guy on line. A fiscally responsible adult would call the guy and say something like, hey, what can the state do to help? Not Newsom. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out is his motto.
Here’s how bad it is. between 2020 and 2022 California lost $102 Billion dollars in tax revenue due to corps. and top earners leaving the state. That doesn’t include Tesla. California lost 2 billion in tax revenue just from Tesla. And the cool guy with the slick hair doesn’t care. He’s an idiot that’s not qualified to run a pop-cycle stand. The migration out of California continues to grow.

They went woke and kicked out Mike Lindell and My Pillow
They bought the New England store, Christmas Tree Shoppes, and ran it into the ground.
They’ll have to prove they’ve dumped the woke nonsense and censoring before I go near them again
As WOKE as Bed Bath and Beyond are, the CEO is also concerned about all the FLASH MOBS looting the stores during business hours, causing them to close the doors due to this looting and still having to pay taxes on those closed stores.
Brad – The democRATz motto is “We’re not happy until you’re not happy”
…be careful around the “Beyond” department…

If a liberal business corporation can’t tolerate Gruesome Newsom’s leftist business policies those policies have to be really horrific.
This IS the solution, by the by…
Firearms manufacturers need to stop selling to CA addresses and institutions (aka police!) Car manufacturers should stop making california compliant models the rest of us have to subsidize – stop selling cars in CA, period. Let the used-market arbitrage their bullshit regulations – setup shop 10-feet over the border in Nevada, watch how many cars you sell!
Its the fact we as a society ALLOW it, that it even exists. We have the power to stop it, see Budlight, Target, and soon to be Cracker Barrel. Simply stop supporting the corporation, and the problem will resolve itself.
