Sorry Larry.
P.S. I still don't like you.
States that don’t have income tax continue to win companies.
Nashville is a place where healthcare money is spent.
If you’re talking about actually making medical products to export you’re talking about New Jersey, North Carolina, Jacksonville, Memphis, Fort Wayne, Minneapolis, Arizona, etc.
Those are the places medical products are actually made and aren’t just paper pushing operations.
Don’t get me wrong, Nashville area is great, it’s just not a major hub of medical manufacturing.
“...to be closer to a major health-care epicenter.” Sure. That’s as believable as a politician or company exec saying he is quitting to spend more time with his family.
Ellison said it is a “fabulous place to live, one that Oracle employees are excited about.” Sure they are. Of course, there probably ARE a lot who never had a chance of owning a home in California that are happy to move. But many will find TN way too provincial and not aligned with their political views.
I had not heard this: “Oracle has been developing its new $1.2 billion campus in the city for about three years.” I remember when Oracle built their massive complex at Redwood Shores. Doesn’t seem that long ago.
What truth did he speak?
Austin didn’t work out? Better TN than going back to CA, that’s for sure.
San Francisco/San Jose isn’t a “major health-care epicenter”?
Everybody they bring from California will go on voting for the same policies and taxes they voted for in California, so it would have been better for Tennessee to tell them to go someplace else.
More american refugees and companies fleeing to red and southern states to destroy those areas. Migration always destroys.
Where is it now?
Oracle’s oil drum shaped buildings have been a signature in the Bay Area since the 90’s.
This is huge!
Ellison would fire people by email on a whim.
