'A massive tech exodus' in the headline, then names 3 large companies who never actually moved to Texas, and 3 companies nobody's ever heard of.
This isn't journalism.
If you have skilled, high speed workers, you don't want your lab in a state where you can't get healthcare, such as an abortion.
I bet obgyns are packing up to leave Texas as well, and maternity wards will soon close down.
Already been happening in lots of red states, no staff to help with pregnancy
Science and Gilead don't usually mix well
"I moved the company here because Joe Rogan said it was a cool place but innovation isn't magically happening as fast as I thought it would. Bummer."
I dont think the overlap between tech worker and joe rogan listener is that significant, is it?
The subset of “tech workers” that work on the business side of things, yes
Why? Is there some kind of test tech workers has to do that excludes them from being dumbfucks?
What can Austin do? Can it relocate from Taliban Texas?
I wish. The city itself is fine, being in Texas isn’t.
It's ironic people use "Austin" to refer to the city itself as well as the government of Texas, and the two Austins hate each other.
TechCrunch is reporting that startup founders, like Techstars Managing Director Amos Schwartzfarb, are announcing their decisions to leave Austin's "lackluster" startup scene.
Who?
Techstars is a start up accelerator. They’re pretty well known in their niche with accelerator/incubators all over the place.
thanks
Of the examples they give, half never moved there in the first place, several are moving elsewhere in Texas, and one is going to Arizona. Very misleading title.
A terrible article. Does nearly nothing to investigate the "why".
I'm sure Texas' shitty, bigoted leadership has a lot to do with it.
Duh, Houston is where all of the tech in Texas is.
