They would never do that in the Midwest or the South because, as much as they lobby for it, nobody wants to work in these regions due to:

  • Lower pay
  • Legislation making it impossible to get aid for abortion, affordable broadband, and healthcare, which leads into...
  • Incredibly poor cultural fit, which leads into...
  • Inability to poach or recruit to the region, which leads into...
  • Challenges executing corporate vision
