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

If we stay at our present trajectory, going from state to state will be like going from country to country.

Evidently this is what we want.
Its sounds more palatable then these games that are played.
 
Here's what Texas and those who defend the SCOTUS decision don't understand. It's bad precedent that can be turned on them.

Consider if you will a scenario where a liberal California legislature and Governor create a law that bans handguns. But they won't try to enforce that law as it would violate second amendment rights.

So they create a vigilante army of liberals who make citizen's arrests on anyone who is suspected of owning a handgun. And they get $1,000 bucks for every guilty verdict and gun confiscation to be paid by the defendant plus court costs.

IOW, this can be turned on you kids. The gun example is a little extreme, so choose any issue that liberals are passionate about. Maybe recycling. Liberals start going garbage bin to garbage bin looking for items that could have been recycled. Aluminum cans and newspapers in your garbage? Bad boy - See you in court!

While extreme, it is just how the enforcement piece works. I suspect it does not last long.

Banning abortion is still fine.....just not the rat-out part of the law.
 
No the person has it wrong.

The money is going to follow the top talent.

Greed is going to go where they can make money.

If they can't find the workers to do the jobs they can't make money.

If they start a business that there isn't the customer base to support the business, the business fails.

The person you replied to obviously never took an economics class.

Texas is a kick-ass business environment.

If some dumbassed "top talent" doesn't see that....fuck'em.

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 to come to their state and they will see people leave their state.

It's very telling, the consequences of passing such laws, people and business won't stand for it.

It's going to cause those red states to fall even farther behind.

From the study:

Data suggest:
  • Large majorities of top talent support abortion access and consider the issue part of gender equity in the workplace;
  • Two-thirds say the Texas ban would discourage them from working in the state;
  • 64% say they would not apply for a job in a state that passed a ban like Texas';
  • About half says they would consider moving out-of-state if their lawmakers
    passed a similar ban.

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%).

Majorities across segments say this law would discourage them from working in Texas:
  • Women (74%)
  • Men (58%)
  • Gen Z (73%)
  • Millennials (69%)
  • Black employees (60%)
  • Latino/a employees (64%)
  • AAPI employees (62%)
  • Recent graduates (67%)

Good luck with that Texas and any state that passes the same anti abortion law.
Top talent in gender studies ,fat black and white moronic government workers and human resources departments ?

How will they survive

Heartbeat laws are not a ban on abortion

So you're proposing that we ignore right and wrong, and allow the murder of millions of innocent babies so that people like those who run Facebook, Google, and Twitter will come live where we live? Who needs their talents?

Talent is being able to fix just about anything with baling wire, or with an oxy-acetylene welder. Talent is being able to reach inside a cow and pull out a breach calf. Talent is being able to clean a carburetor and put it back together again and make a car run. I saw a guy on TV last night in the Alaskan wilderness cut a hole in his flat tire, stuff it full of stuff to make it drive long enough to get him to a service station 25 miles away. In other words, the common theme in all these ideas is that these people have the talent to take care of what needs doing, making things work, and living without Walmart if they need to.

I could list talents all day long that aren't found at Google or Facebook, including talents that take advanced degrees, that are pretty common in Texas. Oil and gas is loaded with PhDs and those people aren't leaving Texas over the new abortion or voting laws. If the Antifa types in Austin want to leave and go back to Portland, I don't think Texas would mind at all.

None of the states have banned abortion, so there's that.
 
Actually not true Meister. Georgia lost a butt-ton of business moves and conventions after their goofy voter suppression BS.

I've seen it with my own eyes. One of my Fortune 500 clients moved their sales and marketing from Portland to the Carolinas in around 2010. They lost about half their workforce .. particularly upper management.

Now you might argue that some of those people didn't make the move because they had kids in school, family ties and such. But I heard directly from a number of my contacts that it went beyond that.

For one thing there was a nuke plant less than a mile from where the company decided to build. The other thing was the politics. Some people just don't want to mix with Gomers. :)
And yet, Biden's home state of Delaware, the state he is so proud of for being a slave state, is just chock full of business, being the home state of many, many corporations, yet they have far stricter voter laws than does Georgia.

Only fools believe that national interest in voting rights is only for the cameras; Democrats don't really care at all about voting rights, especially now that they have a more sure way of controlling election outcomes with voter fraud.
 
It should be noted that Texghanistan is already taking a major hit for their voter suppression BS.

TOPLINE​


The Texas economy could take a massive hit if the state enacts new voting restrictions—potentially costing the state's economy tens of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs—according to a study from the Texas-based economic research firm the Perryman Group, as the Texas legislature Thursday moved one step closer to making the proposals.

  • The potential loss of conventions, major sporting events and tourism could cost the state $16.7 billion in annual gross product by 2025, and nearly 150,000 jobs, according to the study.
  • Internal factors, like decreased business activity and lower wages in the state, could lead to the loss of $14.7 billion in household purchasing power by 2025, according to the Perryman Group.
  • Retail trade would take the biggest hit, according to the study, losing more than 50,000 jobs from drops in tourism and economic development alone.

16.7 billion lost in less than 4 years, according to the article. That's about 4.2 billion per year. Texas has an average of around 54000 abortions each year. That means they earn 77,777.78 dollars bounty for each baby they kill. Heck, let's just line 'em up. Let's double the number of dead babies and make another 4 billion.

The idea that we should kill a child to keep $77.777.78 in revenue is among the most asinine things I've ever heard.

Liberals start going garbage bin to garbage bin looking for items that could have been recycled. Aluminum cans and newspapers in your garbage? Bad boy - See you in court!

I just want to know one thing. How is a band of unarmed anti-gun citizens going to illegally arrest me for owning a gun? Just how is that going to work? Before you answer, Google John Bad Elk.

You do know that the law does not "ban" abortions, don't you?

Such a law would be ruled unconstitutional in about 3 minutes. End of story.
