    capital formations have been relocating south for a bit now and bringing their cheap labor demands. there's a Who Makes Cents pod on the phenomenon and it's impact on US internal migration / interview with a book author. pretty sure it was released in 2024. I can look it up if anyone is interested.

    I think anybody who is able should be swimming in the opposite direction as hard as they can, but capital has a gravitational pull that can uproot people and move them against their impulses.

    there are also a big chunk rich, older morons from the northeast corridor who think "me get big house in sunshine" and go no further. they need maids and egg salad sandwiches and new sliding glass doors and pill dispensers and butt wipers.
