Intel has not fled California...again, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with CA, but it's still a great state and IMO "better than most", and I've been all over this country...grew up in NYC...lots of time in New England...college in the Mid-West...home in CA and business everywhere else. Each part of the country has its own 'charm' and reasons to feel "at home"...personally, I prefer to focus on the good things...and good people...rather than make it a 'mission' to bring them down...but that's just me.
