Tech companies aren't going to be able to get good employees to work for them in Texas.

Some are promising to pay for women to go out of state for an abortion.

One company is offering to pay the expenses of any employee who wants to move out of Texas.

One person in San Diego who was considering on moving to Texas has pretty much changed her mind.

One couple that did move to Texas last year are now moving to New York.

People don't want to move to a state where women don't have reproductive rights.

Texas just might see a reverse of people coming to their state to see people packing up and moving.

Texas won't miss them, neither will the companies.

What a whore. Get on the pill you slut.

The authoritarian right has no problem with increasing the power of the state at the expense of individual liberty, even if it costs them economically.

Right, because the first thing every woman thinks about when nabbing that career opportunity of a lifetime is, "But wait, will I be able to get an abortion?"

I don't agree with their new abortion restrictions either, but the arguments you people are contriving in opposition to it are fucking retarded at their very core.

 

[Burgermeister]

Good. Perhaps just a brilliant Machiavellian tactic to keep the libs running from the beds they made in states like CA and NY from settling in TX.

OK, this was funny. And it has a grain of truth to it. But one wonders with all these companies moving to Texas along with their migrated workforce that would ostensibly turn the state purple...if the whole abortion ruling, voting restrictions, and open carry laws were just rushed into being to head the inevitable off at the pass?

I coulda told it was a bad idea before they moved. Whack-jobs gonna whack, after all.

 

[whitehall]

Rethink their move? You gotta be kidding. MSN's Danelle Abril and Gerrit De Vynk ( why do they always operate in pairs?) found a tiny (dying) tech company that was willing to talk to MSN and admit to anything they wanted for some cheap publicity. Lefties are desperate and desperate times call for bad reporting. Is it time to consider that MSN be banned from twitter accounts for misleading reporting?

Exactly. As the article says it's not just abortion. It's voting rights, open carry and the fact that Texas has passed laws against tech companies that enforce their own TOS rules when people repeatedly and flagrantly violate those rules.

As I posted in the thread I created last week,

What Does "Top Talent" Think about Working in States that Ban Abortion?

This is a very interesting study. I'm sure that the conservatives won't believe it or even click the link but intelligent people will. Texas and any state that enacts legislation like the one Texas has enacted, are not going to get well educated people to their state. They won't get business...

www.usmessageboard.com

The college-educated workforce values abortion access and sees the issue as part of gender equity in the workplace.
Roughly eight in ten respondents (79%) do not want Roe v. Wade overturned. The same proportion (80%) feels access to abortion is an important part of women's rights and gender equity - 63% feel this strongly.
Respondents also connect abortion to other issues. Two-thirds (65%) would guess that states that protect abortion rights and access are more likely to have good health care, good-paying jobs, and a higher-quality of life v. those that ban or restrict abortion access (10%).

Great, tell the freaks to stay where they are. We don't need or want them here if killing their kids is a big concern.

3 people? One of which never moved to Texas.

Oh No! How will they ever be replaced?

Explain how two people moving to New York is harming the Texas economy.

That's easy..... They are both gods....not mere humans. Each one is able to do the work of 10,000 people singlehandedly! Governor Abbot is going to be damn good and sorry boy! New York stold his two gods dammit!

You do know that is a mere handful of anecdotal accounts.

None of it indicates a thing.

Glad this resurfaced. So how many potential residents has Texas now lost? Do we know?
