    Ohh yeah i get it, but at least that would be interesting. These fucks are just setting up a play city for billionaires where they own everything from the water to the sky in some byzantine “vertically integrated ownership of a human life” bullshit.

    Tge least they could do was make a tech mecha in Oklahoma, dump some money into rural states. Just get weird with it out in the wind blown plains, but nah.

      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

      If they could, they would have already.
