    Sure. When they move to Mississippi we can all laugh together.

          I heard over the weekend (forget which S-XM channel) that median (not mean, median) in San Jose is over $900k.

            That sounds completely accurate

                I think you and Scooby are making the same mistake that a lot of people make when thinking about this problem.

                No one is saying that there aren't skilled workers in Minnesota. There are oodles of them.

                The problem (if you're trying to attract someone who needs a lot of skilled workers) is that there is already too much competition for them here. Thus, Amazon isn't going to be able to attract enough, at the right "price" to work for them.
                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                  Now you're cooking. Correct. They don't want to move here cause they don't want to pay anybody. Same with any corporation. You found common ground.

                  Oh. I made no mistake.

                    No, I understood that. As I’ve said, too many other firms here. Couple that with the lesser tax breaks and it wasn’t gonna happen.

                    It’s just too easy to make jokes about skilled workers in Mississippi

                      Then Amazon must've messed up when they gave feedback to Minnesota. Confused ends of the river?

                          Amazon building out there would destroy my commute by it would also probably triple my home value so I could retire five years earlier and get off this hellish coast.

                              Data centers are moving into that area like crazy. My mother's in Ashburn and she loves that. It means good taxes for the area with hardly any traffic; plus the power grid is super-strong because the companies don't want to risk anything going down. Having actual companies with workers moving in would kinda suck. (Fun related story: they were going to build a single-A baseball stadium in One Loudoun right next to Route 7 but then changed plans, possibly because they realized that was a monumentally dumb place to put a baseball stadium.)
