Why are major corporations fleeing the Golden State?

Since the Gold Rush, California has been the premier destination for startups. This video examines the recent exodus of over 500 businesses and the severe economic consequences of this historic shift.

The video explores the drivers behind a massive corporate migration to neighboring states. It identifies California’s tax laws and prohibitive regulations as the primary causes of this departure, which includes the loss of Fortune 500 companies.
