There was a moment for a while during the 2010s where NC was being touted as a new tech hub to rival SF/Austin/Portland. However, southern politicians (both republican and democrat) have tried their damndest to make that not happen.
And they are at absolute odds with the state government. See the "bathroom bill" for just one example of this idiocy.
I have been on travel trips to CA, TX, NV, and MA. In my experience, NC is the best place to live...
Except for the politics being so unwelcoming. I could never live in such a place.
Yeah. And based on the idiotic bills coming out of the NC state government (bathroom bills, now this anti-EV nonsense), these organizations need to step up their lobbying.
