You're nuts. Last I heard people are leaving ca and ny in droves, due in part to the insanely high tax burdens and anti business attitudes there.

What a dope. People haven't been moving from OK, TX, or AR to CA for 50 years. Personally, I wish we could barricade I10 and turn back every car with CA plates. Problem is you guys can fly in. Liberals turn places into disaster areas then flea like roaches to someplace else and infest and infect that place.

State Mandates Food Cops in Every Restaurant [ Yes, this is for real: thebostonchannel.com I can't believe CA doesn't have this. Why are they letting MA get ahead of them? ] Posted on January 13, 2011 by Nanny State Liberation Front\| 4 Comments "I'll be your food protection manager tonight. What can't I serve you?" Starting Feb. 1, every restaurant in Mass. will be forced to employ at least one “certified food protection manager.” Among the many duties to be assumed by the state-mandated food cops will be teaching fellow staff about “washing hands with soap and water and not hand sanitizer, and wiping food preparation areas, table tops and highchairs with commercial-strength cleaners.” The most important task ahead, say proponents of the mandatory food safety initiative, is preventing patrons with food allergies from being poisoned or killed by their meals. The newly enlisted food protection managers will be responsible for personally serving every ‘special needs’ patron while teaching fellow servers and kitchen staff how to avoid contaminating plates with allergens. “Restaurants are also encouraged to make simpler dishes by avoiding ingredients that hide allergens, like some mollusks and shellfish, barley and rye,” reports Boston’s WCVB-TV. “Currently, federal law does not require ‘minor’ allergens to be clearly listed on food labels.” Got that? Thanks to the new law, chefs will be “encouraged” to alter their signature recipes that they’ve crafted for the vast majority of patrons who do not have food allergies. Simply posting warnings on menus about potential food allergens contained in dishes would make too much sense and force those with food allergies to actually pay attention to what they choose to consume. This way, they can not be held responsible for getting sick — it’s the restaurants and chefs who will be blamed and sued for poisoning them.
