There's a ballot measurement, 5% tax. They said, oh, this is going to be capital flight in California.

There hasn't been capital flight. Anyone who thinks that Silicon Valley is not going to produce trillions of dollars doesn't know what they're talking about. Maybe they don't think it's going to pass. (07:22–07:27)
