I think they should discriminate. Why should MA try to attract a company in a dying industry? No, I think they should attract companies which fit into their future vision coupled with the characteristics of their present and predicted future workforce.

In other words, think ambitiously and progressively.

The tax breaks and special treatment chase states to compete with each other. It's a race to the bottom. It becomes a question of which state is willing to make its citizens sacrifice the most. It is sort like a feudal society.
