Michelle, I don't presume to speak for Mr. K., but I believe what some of us are saying is that California is rapidly collecting too many residents with 3.4 vehicles and too much industry to be sustainable and maintain what most regard as good quality of life. I don't believe anyone is asking anyone to leave California. What I think some of us might be saying was best said on a bumper sticker I saw a while back: "Welcome to California. Now, go home."

No, Michelle, <<OT>> I'm not saying there are too many "people" in California - I'm saying that the management of companies need to consider the ramifications of their decisions about more than just the number of people who show up for work every day, vs. the technologies that are rapidly becoming ubiquitous that will make physical presence at work less important than it has in the past. A firm that has experimented with a distributed work force has a distinct advantage to an artificially centralist management mentality in the next century. As to "In other words whoever is here already gets to stay, otherwise leave.", I say, yes, particularly in a free market economic system. What inherent right is brought to the negotiating table by those who arrive later? Where do you make that artificial time line? The further you delve into setting such parameters the more you attempt to manage the economy - and time has proven the insidiousness and futility of that system. Sorry, Michelle, I don't attempt to lay claim to the gold that was discovered at Sutter's mill. Your lack of historical perspective is not bizarre, only because it is somewhat common in terms of today's educational standards, but it is still irritating (at best) to hear people lay claim to things that aren't theirs. Best of luck to you and your company - I respectfully submit you are either mislead, ignorant or perhaps even dishonest in regards to rational free market economics. Mr. K.
