Since when is New York a red state? I thought that is where ALL of the jobs were headed. Apparently THAT was fake news propagated by certain IJ posters.
$9.6 million in assistance by NYC to lure them with? That’s ok, the city will start punishing them soon enough. Fake news is the CNN, ABC, NBC triumvirate every single day of the week.
The one you routinely cite in Plano, TX, had over $5 million in cash grants, where real estate is significantly cheaper, as well as 10 years of tax abatements on about $160 million worth of real estate.
At this point using the term “fake news” might as well translate to “I’m an idiot.”
Exactly! Now you’re getting it! When Yogi or Agent use hyperbole it’s fine, but it’s an automatic “loss” for whomever they’re disagreeing with should the ‘others’ use the same tactic. But don’t worry, (start sarcasm) they’re not hypocritical at all.
Or their dear leader, they give him a pass on hyperbole as well.

If you intended your comments to be sarcastic, you failed to make that clear. I doubt you have anything meaningful to add to the specific comments by Agent.
It’s fairly easy to move a corp HQ when all you have are 200+ top exec employees. They’ll try Manhattan for a while until they run into the same tax & spend Liberal foolishness they dealt with in CT over the last decade or so.
Vlad, you are very correct as usual. By the way, Liberty Mutual will be opening a 1,400 employee office in Plano, a Dallas suburb. Why would they do that if it is not a more attractive place than the liberal N/E?
You’ve already been told they also opened one in liberal Boston, genius. Maybe they did the Plano one to transfer employees from throughout the south into 1 location, and of course to get the over $5,000,000 in cash grants and tax abatement on over $160,000,000 of their property.
At this point you are being dishonest, or are totally, 100% incompetent, when you continue to push your 1 example here you use for everything.
Why would you want to go to Texas? God hates that state, so many acts of God just punish that Middle East of the US time and time again. Grapefruit size hail? Are you kidding me? If one of those doesn’t get you and your property, an exploding fert plant due to no regulations may.
Cheap land, and a much lower level of qualified competition, eg Agent being able to compete in the market.
Problem is, when you leave your nice house you’re in Texas and the lower tier competition is who you have to socialize with. Some areas there are nice, but most aren’t.
Much has been written about Connecticut’s downfall. Basically is a combination of high taxes/cost of living, lack a trendy metro areas and weather. These companies can’t stay competitive in the talent market staying in Hartford when Chicago, Boston, Austin, Denver, Minneapolis, Phoenix and NYC are booming. Country Clubs are out and urban centers are in.
So 250 high level employees get to move from Hartford to NYC, leaving middle and lower level employees behind. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this had more to do with a better place for these high level employees to live than anything that has to do with a better business climate for the overall company. If I were an executive, I’d rather live in NYC that Hartford, too!

So, when a red state offers tax breaks to move, it is good business. When a blue state does it, they will be punished later.
Got it.
Nope. You didn’t get it. You word parse to be something that rhymes with ‘parse’.
FAKE NEWS!! WORD PARSING!! DUUUURRRRR!

No one in their right mind would interpret a statement about ‘all the jobs are headed to red states’ literally to mean 100%.
Stop with ALL of your childish replies using word parsing to support your Libitteral agenda.
I’m not tired of winning yet. When will you join the winning team and abandon your Libitteral brothers?
So, it’s OK for you guys to use sarcasm and hyperbole, but not me?
Got it.

Yogi,
Your opinion may be the only one of which I care even less than President Trump’s. Both completely useless.
All states are red. It’s the cities that are blue.
Dumb move. Should have gone to Florida or Texas and gotten it over with. They will eventually end up in one of those places anyway.

Troll, go away, LOL.
Can you state the number of hail induced deaths in TX last year?
Ready, steady, … GO!
Who said anything about deaths? Learn to read.

Yes, that’s where all the demand is. /s
