First the State of California refuses to hire full-time employees, and now, they want to promote small businesses, which they have been trying to destroy for decades…
Which way do they want it?
Last I heard, California was hiring through “Vendor Management” which then paid “Independent Recruiters” to bring in the help…
The State does not pay competitive wages anyway, but I don’t think California wants to pay a guy with a lawn mower and a blower and a weed eater and a pickup $100/hour…
Veterans and “Disadvantaged” preferred, and how about the aged and disabled?
The State of California likes them young, dumb, numb and also related to someone, or someone’s kid, and “entrepreneurs” and old people are discriminated against by the Talent Acquisition people…
Then again, who wants a pensioned job?
The Governor knows how to run only two things. First, his mouth. Second, he’s running California’s economy right into bankruptcy. The only worse place to have a business right now is New York, where you can become a felon because they don’t like you.
50% of a recent poll say Trump should drop out, and that they wouldn’t vote for him…

Put his ass in jail.
OH and his dementia has become “pronounced”…
Convicted because he’s guilty. And not only of these 34 counts…
Wasn’t he just fined like $400,000,000 for something else, like, lying…
Yes, Newsom is a loser. But he has rich friends.
C’mon man, be fair, he can also run a comb thru all the grease in his hair.
Only a fool would believe you can overregulate, overtax, control every aspect of people’s lives, then fuel prosperity. Combine that with insane energy costs and you have the perfect storm, for failure. These are the same miscreants that growers thought a good idea to partner up with, and didn’t that turn out swell. Wake up folks, the bureaucracy, a cesspool of nepotism, favoritism, and theft isn’t your friend. How many bureaucrats on that list have started and run a business? Any bets????
You forgot “overspend”…
I’m so glad the state is controlling markets. Where would we be without their insight and efficiency?
Newsom is currently tasked with balancing a HUGE, self inflicted, budget deficit…
Serious cuts are in order…
But he will be following the old adage, “Never cut towards yourself, Always cut towards the other guy”…
So now, “COINCIDENTALLY”, he is looking to engage some new business arrangements and associations with some new, not necessarily sharper, discounted, tools…???
He ain’t going to be generously throwing pork fat around, folks, he’s going to be carving some serious meat away from the bone…
Step right up if you’ve got plenty of extra flesh to spare, and Newsom and his team of belt tighteners with fix you right up…
Prepare to be scaled…
What have you got to lose…???
