Did other people reach the same conclusion: that it would be good to have a stronger Federal government that can take over states' rights?

I agree that California is bad for remote hiring, and I believe that this is a novel competitive advantage for other states to capitalize on. Asking Congress to "fix" California would starve North Dakota, for example, of the opportunity to make it super tax-cheap to hire remote employees.

Let California tax-implode during a time of unforeseen redistribution of labor.
