For other readers, this is why things like nationalism are important (and so heavily taboo). They're the most effective antidote to this kind of immorality. Unions are an ok compromise, but still allow businesses to leave (rust belt, etc). I’m assuming above poster is an American and is happy to do business, live, etc in America while hollowing out its base for the sake of profits. Paying taxes does not absolve this kind of anti American behavior.

We need elites whose goal is to help their fellow Americans, not rootless capitalists willing to sell out their countrymen for profit. The goal of business is not to make money, it’s to enrich the people.

We as Americans perfected capitalism.

We're fine paying a premium and entrenching in ecosystems like the Bay, NYC, ATX, and Seattle. And in a vertical like cybersecurity (which is mine), going where the talent matters and that's largely the Bay/NYC/ATX/Seattle, Tel Aviv, Prague, Warsaw, BLR, and Hyderabad now.

I'm not going to hire subpar talent in Georgia or North Carolina and deal with shitty local politicos - CA, NY, TX, and WA are easier jurisdictions with much more established talent pools.

Finally, a lot of the software protecting us from the Iranians as we speak were developed by Israeli companies like Wiz.
