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.
