I sympathize with you, but I'm talking about people willingly moving from environmentally more protected places like the Midwest, northern New England, and parts of NY state and PA to places like Arizona, most of Florida, Southeast Texas, and the West Coast. I think in 10-15 years, there will be a huge turnaround as temperatures rise even more, communities start fighting over water, and fires, hurricanes and other crazy weather events wreak havoc on communities.

Yeah, but dummies keep moving to places with the worst climate change projections.

Reply to People are Flooding Magazines With AI-Written Fiction Because They Think They’ll Make Money by SnoozeDoggyDog
I used to read the slush pile of a small semi-pro magazine back in the 1990s. There were usually 4-5 of us and it took all day. A lot of the material was bad enough; I can't imagine the monster tsunami of crap that's being submitted now with AI.

Texas wasn't a place where launches occurred until SpaceX set up their Starbase in Brownsville. Thiokol corporation made the Shuttle booster rockets in Utah, where no launches occur. As a matter of fact, Cambridge, MA was under consideration to be the location for Mission Control before Houston. There are a number of aerospace companies in Maryland, which doesn't have any launch facilities either. I've seen interesting aerospace companies pop up in places that I would never have expected. Hermeus Aerospace comes to mind - they are in Georgia. Space Tango is in North Carolina. There is absolutely no reason why Pennsylvania couldn't have a robust aerospace industry. It has good universities and pretty good proximity to other good schools out of state. It's much more a matter of wanting it. I see the potential.

Yeah, but you could import people. Texas imports a lot of aerospace talent from elsewhere.

I recently moved here but still work 100% remote for my aerospace employer in Texas. My take is that Pennsylvania could seriously use an injection of Aerospace and space jobs. Maybe there is something that can be done at the state level? Not sure, but the state could attract a lot of talent if they took the initiative. I'd jump onboard any effort to make that happen.
