You would think so but there were rolling blackouts during the bay area/socal fire season last year and nobody seemed to change course. I wonder if it’s because a lot of companies in the Bay Area already had remote workers?

Texas was actually a preferred location as the time zone allowed both west coast and east coast work hours.
