Скачать или смотреть Governor Of California LOSES IT After Coca Cola ENDS California Production!

In a stunning end to over a century of California manufacturing, Coca-Cola announced the permanent closure of all seven California bottling and production facilities—affecting 4,200 employees and eliminating $1.4 billion in annual economic activity. The company that built its American beverage empire in California is abandoning the state entirely for Texas, Arizona, and Nevada.
Three forces converged: California's 9.6% tax rate versus Texas's 0% corporate income tax saves Coca-Cola $87 million annually. Water costs of $4.80 per thousand gallons in California versus $1.20 in Arizona create $34 million in annual savings for this water-intensive industry. And California's AB 1228 minimum wage provisions added $67 million in annual labor costs, pushing margins to unsustainable levels.
This came just 22 months after Coca-Cola completed a $340 million modernization of its flagship Downey facility. Governor Newsom called it "corporate greed," but California facilities operated at 8.4% margins while Texas facilities achieved 16.7%—nearly double the profitability.
When America's most iconic beverage brand—operating in California since 1922—concludes the state is too expensive for manufacturing, what does that mean for California's industrial future? The company serves California's 39 million consumers, but increasingly those bottles are filled elsewhere.
