Playboy Leaves ‘Anti-Business’ L.A., California for Miami Beach

[BeatMan]

Playboy is moving its corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to Miami Beach, Florida, with the CEO of the pioneering men’s entertainment company — and liberal outlet — describing California as hostile to business.

The Los Angeles Times reported:

Playboy Enterprises announced on Wednesday that it will relocate its headquarters from Los Angeles to Miami Beach, becoming the latest high-profile company to abandon California in favor of what some call more business-friendly environments.
Ben Kohn, chief executive of Playboy, described California as being “anti-business,” saying the state is an “extremely expensive place” to operate.
“We are excited to move the company to the city of Miami Beach, which has been phenomenal to deal with, very pro-business,” Kohn said. “When you look at the cost of doing business in California against the cost of doing business in Florida, and you combine that with the energy of Miami Beach, it made all the sense in the world for Playboy to move there.”

Breitbart News reported earlier this year that Playboy is also returning to nudes and fit women after a failed “woke” rebrand that featured plus-size models and a transgender playmate, plus a temporary ban on nudity.

Hef is dead, and Playboy hasn't been relevant for a decade or longer.

Also, Playboy was one of the first "woke" publications, and would never have thrived if it hadn't been.

California, a bastion of liberalism, is so fucking horrible when it comes to business, even a very liberal business, that Playboy has to relocate to a highly Conservative State.

That alone should tell people things. But it won't because the Left is steeped in their fascist and socialist ideals and cannot acknowledge that liberalism and socialism aren't the same thing.

Florida welcomes those who walk into rooms knowing that there are teenage beauty queens undressed in there.

Hurricanes and Florida animals, including Florida Men, instead of earthquakes and fire. The traffic situation may be even. The frequent floods may be what pushes them out, such as a king tide combining with an onshore wind.

I interviewed an alligator there once for a presser I was preparing. Seems, according to the two gators I spoke with, they perfer the nude models for lunch over the slow old farts who get to near the swamp's edge. Something to do with not having to pick the cloths out of there teeth later and the meat is more tender. That was some fifty years ago, so maybe things have changed since then.

Playboy and di Satan deserve each other.

I always hated Playboy.

That we don't play favorites like you always claim fascist/socialist/marxists do? The rules might suck some of the time but nobody can make a great argument that we don't apply the rules equally even when it sucks for us. I know integrity is a rough thing for Conservatives but please keep the compliments flowing.

Newsom is driving EVERYONE out of the Golden State.

Newsom is driving EVERYONE out of the Golden State.

And yet the economy keeps improving. Seems like the whole "We don't really need them" is true. There are definitely some changes that need to be made but still.

What does Playboy want to do that the laws of California aren’t allowing or making difficult?

 

[Sean Renaud]

If I had to hazard a guess its some strange combination of taxes, regulations and a changing entertainment industry. Hollywood is way down so they aren't going to be snagging as many mid to mid high stars. Of course its usually worth looking into these stories to find out what's going on since right wingers are notoriously dishonest or uniformed.
