There's going to be A LOT of business 'refugees' moving to red states. The thing red states need to do through is enact ALL anti insane legislation NOW. Anti mutilating kids, more gun access, sensible restrictions on abortion etc
Do that, and when these companies move it'll be like a sieve, filtering out all the nutjob crazies in the move as they can't be degenerates like in the blue hellholds
Then when it comes out, they pretend it’s a good thing. Like when Cracker Barrel was leaving, I saw lots of comments about how it’s fine because of things like “who wants their disgusting, pre made food anyway?” “That is fine, we have local places! Who needs chains.” (Please ignore the fact a lot of their local business is dying), and “It’s because no one wants to support a racist business like that” (could have fooled me since the ones I see in the Midwest are always packed).
Meanwhile, my states are struggling to find enough workers, which is raising wages for everyone keeping for workers, and all of the newbies I see are ones who are all in on “Fuck where I came from. And may they all burn in hell and never return.”
Many cities killed off their local businesses with the lockdown too. In San Francisco, the office vacancy rate is 30% and still growing. It's hitting a death spiral where worsening conditions leads to demand for more public services leads to more taxes leads to loss of business leads back to worsening conditions.

It is already happening. Oregon has seen a flood of companies leaving but you aren't 'allowed' to report on it.
They fired a journalist for a story about it at one of the left wing rags up here.

Exactly how my SimCity 2000 cities always failed. :(
Yep. And they refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem, which just makes that cycle even worse and more unrecoverable.
