True, but factor in HOW Axios reported it.
The Daily Beast was even worse, but still.
From the Daily Beast:
The list, published by CNBC on Saturday, has triggered a full-blown social media meltdown among Trump supporters and Republican figures, who made desperate and misleading claims to explain why the red states made the list. “CNBC says the ability to kill unborn babies and engage in woke racism makes states better to live in,” top Trump ally Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, posted on X.
Did you actually READ the Axios story? Or are you just bitching about Axios in general? I read about CNBC's list on 3 or 4 different sources. Axios was probably fairest of them all. I was able to quickly see HOW and WHY CNBC made their conclusion and then make my own judgement.
Axios then provided a reality-check to the list, showing that Tennessee is still a preferred state for business.
Reality check: Tennessee is still a top destination for many large companies looking to relocate or establish new regional hubs.
