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

highly educated people probably aren't going to give up healthcare like abortion to work here.

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.
