   I guess at some point, on this trajectory, some shareholders might be   
   moved to sue companies that don't relocate from Kalifornia for breaching   
   their fiduciary duty to maximise returns on investment?   
      
   In the UK publicly listed companies are legally obliged to maximise   
   profit... which is why, for instance, they are frantically unravelling   
   their DIE extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds.
