Are those jobs entry level or expert level? If they can train people, locals will probably start to migrate.

I think the $24/hr is entry level. 200 of the jobs are $100,000/year minimum

Eh. Plenty of college graduates stay in TN.

Don’t get me wrong, our backwards ass gov def is going to drive people away but it’s not going to make it impossible to get educated workers yet.

that was before abortion was made illegal. you're assuming things will remain the same as they were before, like all the republicans did in the midterms.

you're right, not all of them can move away, but the ones you want are moving away. i met several terrible engineers in grad school. they caused a lot of problems.

If you want things to change, you have to be the change. Most people hate X or y because they’ve never met X or y. I’ve met plenty of people who lived out in the boonies who thought cities and minorities were dangerous. Two years later they vote Bernie, drive a Toyota and eat tacos from a street vendor.

Nah. It's literally just a town where foreign companies can operate near tax free and pollute and have access to cheap uneducated labor. Despite 100k+ people the most exciting news is when a new TGIChilliBees opens.

I’m a NIMBY and I wouldn’t want this near me, I’d be worried about the pollution.
