Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond, stated that California’s regulatory environment makes it difficult for businesses to operate profitably in the state. The company cited high taxes, fees, wages, and regulations as factors in its decision.

Completely understandable.

I must forward his wisdom to the CEOs of Target, WalMart, Home Depot, Lowes, Starbucks, Ralphs, McDonald’s, Costco, CVS, Albertson’s, Apple, Macy’s, Petco, Dollar Tree, Ross Stores, Gap, Macy’s, Trader Joe’s, Safeway, Williams Sonoma, Old Navy, Ace Hardware, Guess, Lowe’s, Harbor Freight, Guitar Center, Restortion Hardware, Rally’s Pottery Barn, Joseph A Bank, Lulemon, Sleep Number, and all the other 100,000 and more retail outlets across California.

I’m sure they're unaware of his insight, and will immediately cease operations in the state.

The only other possible explanation, almost too absurd to mention, is that he lacks imagination, his brand is sullied, his prices are too high, consumers don’t want his product mix, and that he is hiding the Epstein list in one of the stores and people are afraid they will get STDs if they happen upon it by chance.
