Of course the $40 million gift from Texas taxpayers has nothing to do with this....:rolleyes:

I'd need more than that to move to Texas.

If I owned Texas and Hell I'd live in Hell and rent out Texas.





[Credit to Texas/hell quip to General Phillip Sheridan.]

They are moving closer to Mexico. :D

Thats some piss ass chump change, all the others that moved got 4 times that amount.

Common practice.

Now Cal is loosing all it's big businesses because of democratic economic policies.

Via con dios pendejos ;). Toyota esto muertos to California. I can't wait to see how much their sales plummet in California after this.

Will not matter on bit for sales.

Tesla took over the NUMMI assembly plant in Fremontesla, CA.
Tesla is contributing quite a bit to the local economy which Toyota never did. I never did own nor tempted to own a Toyota.

Ok

You have a far better chance at owning Toyota than this.

Toyota also pulled out of Australia and moved production from there to South Korea.

I couldn't care less if Toyota moved their business to the Sun. There are many things I think are wonderful about Japanese culture, employee relations aren't one of them.

Torrance's larges employer by far.


Torrance city officials confirmed the move would impact approximately 4,000 Torrance-based Toyota employees, including 2,000 in motor sales, about 1,000 in the company's financial sector and 1,000 in manufacturing.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, who represents the Fourth District, called the move "extremely disappointing and concerning" for the county.

"For years, we’ve seen businesses flee California’s high taxes and strict regulations for more business-friendly states like Texas. This mass exodus should have sent a message to our state leaders that something needs to change, and fast," Knabe said in a statement. "This is a textbook case and we need to do an 'exit interview' with Toyota to learn what we can, as a state, do better, so that we stop being a target for other states."
