Tech giant Apple has announced plans to build a $1 billion campus in Austin Texas, along with smaller facilities in Seattle, San Diego, and Culver City. The Austin plans, images of which have not been released, will see the creation of at least 5,000 jobs in the Southwestern city as house prices in the San Francisco Bay area begin to discourage creatives from Silicon Valley.
...
In return for building the new facility, Apple is expected to receive up to $25 million from a jobs-creation fund in Texas, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. While significant, the figure is far below the $2.8 billion Amazon could receive in return for expanding its operations in New York, as well as the $750 million figure it could receive in Virginia.
We need to educate people as to why Texas works. We need to have an assimilation program for California and NE liberals as well as illegal aliens from the south.
Lol. Austin has been blue forever. Beto won Travis 3:1
You can walk down the street in Austin wearing a MAGA hat and not get assaulted.
I never even understood being this unhinged.
I cannot stand Trump
I cannot stand SJW types.
I can see someone wearing a MAGA hat or one of those "Check your privilege" T shirts and do something radical. See them, do a mental eye roll, then do absolutely nothing about it, leaving said wearer unbothered.
Certainly Austin is already blue and getting bluer by the transplant.
You're assuming the transplants can vote....between illegal immigration from south of the border and the flood of H1Bs, none of those people can vote. Just saying.

I assume the transplants that are being discussed are the ones coming from north of the border. The shifting hue of the state is occurring independent of the visitors from the south and overseas
