Lots of pissed of Californians in the thread because it reduces their value... but if you think from outside, it is very reasonable argument... and this article is a service to the people who would otherwise not have thought about this.

California wants to maximize benefit to their citizens as it should... and outsiders should take that into consideration when doing business with entities in California. Also this was probably not straightforward to find out... which is why the author thought spreading the word was important. I appreciate it.
