you're counting on the economy

Arbitrary regulation is not the economy.

If CA decides tomorrow to pass a bill that mandates all tech workers to have proper accreditation, including a bar exam, and to fine to oblivion companies that don't comply, is that the economy?

A more likely hypothetical scenario would be regulation on the term "engineer" at some point in the future, because there aren't any extenuating circumstances that would demand that happen at this moment, but I don't really see what your driving at anyway.

That the whims of a few, or even a single bureaucrat, are not normal business risk. Read Sowell's Basic Economics on how arbitrary regulations distort the market.

In California, under those circumstances, yes it is.
