The Trump Presidency 2.0

Why is Lynsi leaving California?
She is moving the HQ to Tennessee because the cost of doing business in California is high, and we're not talking about taxes.

The issue however with with all these states that create policies to attract businesses is those businesses bring voters that change the fabric of those states. Voters that vote for policies that made their previous states complete hell holes.

I’d call it the housing equity effect if it were me. People can take the equity out of their homes and retire early, move to a lower cost area and imbue their California values into those new areas.

That's a good point. It's happening all over Mexico, just with white Americans buying or renting out things that Mexicans could afford pre-pandemic but no longer can. To the point where there are protests have been occurring off and on for a few years: 'Gringo go home.' Mexico City protests target Americans, gentrification

Many in my family have done it. Moving to Washington and Idaho. Others wish they could but they have jobs and salaries in California that are just completely out of line for their respective fields. Hard to go from a cop making 200+k to making 55. Even with a lower cost of living.

She's clearly stated that she doesn't want to raise her family in California. Financial is a big part of it all, but let's not sugar coat it and make it the only reason. She can pay the bills. Values are not aligned. As I understand it the HQ will remain in CA? I've listened to many podcasts with her, she's not happy in California.

4 of the largest dots do not have a state income tax and AZ is the lowest of those that do (like OR and CO). People are moving to where they aren't taxed to the moon and back. 3 of those states are adjacent to CA so people are moving but remaining close to family and friends. You know this being in AZ and all, but it is rocket surgery for others.

And the lady moving to TN...another state w/o a state income tax. Double-edged sword though because employers will pay a little less in some areas as a result. In FL it doesn't help too that a lot of revenue is driven by tourism.

That's my point. It's not about the taxes. Obviously Tennessee are also giving In N Out tax incentives to move corporate HQ as well.

Being close to my parents in case something crazy happens is very helpful. Something Texas certainly did not provide.

It seems like the main corporate HQ is going to stay in CA, while they build up a regional HQ in TN. You'll likely see it flip-flop in the next 5-10 years where the corporate HQ is in TN and it becomes a regional one in CA.

I can see that happening if she is still as hands-on as she is now and if she stays in Tennessee.

It'll be interesting to see the effect this has on In N Out. I like the food, but I think part of the appeal for people in the eastern states is the fact that you want something you can't have. It's sure to be fun for awhile.

Other way around. Corporate HQ is in Irvine, that office is being sunsetted. Baldwin Park "Burger University" is remaining open because the primary mission of the facility is employee training.

Lynsi has said as much in interviews that part of what makes In N Out is the novelty and scarcity.

There are 3-4 of them in my town and I drive by another 2 in other twons on my way to work; they're still just about as busy as when they first opened a few years ago. Can't say the same for other regional chains like Cane's or whataburger.

I think it helps that they have a small menu, very quick service, and are pretty decent for the price.

Gotcha. The comment I saw said they were closing Irvine (by 2029) and moving those corporate employees to Baldwin Park. They dont expect the TN HQ to be open for another year, so I assumed it'd be a few years until the the main HQ moved out there.
 
One fun lil wrinkle is something I’ve talked about before, and others have as well- precedent.

We’ve arrested former President and put them on trial. People (on this page!) celebrate it.

Too bad it’s the right that has the opportunity, which we know they won’t take.

Biden wasn’t behind the pardon, his staff was. The CIA, FBI, NSA and larger IC made up crimes at the direction and approval of Obama to spy on not just an American, but an American president.

Seems to me that those things are more egregious than, say, a campaign donation or a real estate valuation.
 
What people are forgetting is that Donald Trump "is literally, Hitler"

That is what makes all of this OK

For the record - I think it has been well established in my time as a guest here - that I am a shamelessly biased, hypocritical, myopic, partisan that gleefully accepts "my" candidates shortcomings to the tyranny that would be levied against me should the other side put ANY of their selected candidates into power.

The most dangerous enemy is always the one that lurks within

These idea that if even an itsy bitsy teeny weeny percent of these recent "findings" are even partially true might offer me a moment of "I told you so" from as far back as ten years of me saying this was always the only thing that the left has ever had to offer...
...the party of racism
...the party of secessionism
...the party of civil war
...the party of violent protest

Under different circumstances, a less mature version of me might say "I told you so"









hahahahah sike...
I told you so !!

It'd be great to actually see something come from this, but like that'll ever happen.

Like, even on the conservative subs I'm seeming comments about this being outside the statute of limitations for charges, or how the SC ruling on immunity means you'd have to impeach Obama (impossible) to charge him. Numerous jokes about how this will be on Bondi's desk and lost in 4 months, or asking if these documents also include where Obama wrote the Epstein files.

I'd say it was timed to attempt to move the topic off of Epstein, but to your early point, why release it on a Friday where it gets basically minimal coverage?

Maybe Trump's COS is just not great at keeping the cabinet members coordinated? They seem to keep making comments/releasing stuff without others (or even Trump on occasion) knowing what's going on.

Susie Wiles, by all accounts, is a savage. The real question is how much power/authority does she have, I suppose.

Not sure why Obama’s actions would qualify under immunity but precedence is biting us again- statute of limitations didn’t matter for the “34 felonies” case, so it doesn’t matter now.

The statute of limitations for seditious conspiracy is five years- there is no limit for treason.

Gabbard talking about releasing/declassing more documents this week, maybe it’s just ‘Phase 1’, part deux.

Wake me up when they drop charges. The normies don’t care about Epstein as much as the hardcore do, they’re tracking even less of what CROSSFIRE HURRICANE, CROSSFIRE RAZOR and the entirety of Russia gate actually means to this country, as evidenced by some on this board.

To me, the Obama/Biden investigations and declass looks to be aimed specifically at the fervent MAGA base (WWG1WGA types) as opposed to rank and file Americans.
