To be fair, it would be very hard to argue against this website since it stays very vague. For most things it says that they are “impossible” or “near-impossible” with no explanation or just "getting a permit is hard" with no futher detail. It does give some cherry-picked metrics : - 0 Semiconductor fabs built in CA in the last decade => as there been ANY semi fabs built outside of taiwan and china in the last decade ? Not exactly surprising. - 1 West Coast shipyard that can build destroyers, 0 New automotive paint shops permitted in CA, 0 New oil refineries permitted in CA since 1969 => We don't build those for shits and giggles, is there any demand that would justify new factories for thoses ? Basically, the website doesn't say anything. It just gives some context-less data and one guys opinion on what he perceives as not possible. Not that I care, I am not from the US or live there, but let's not try to pass some dude rambling as a source of actual information. | ||

The vagueness is really the crux of this whole thing. It makes it easy to argue about without really going anywhere. One can easily mold their own worldview around the points and make it about whatever they want. | ||
