However, Apple recently announced that an entire division based in San Diego will be shut down in April 2024. For those working there, they have two options: move to Austin, Texas, or be let go.

They’re truly locusts; descend on an area, ruin it, and then move onto the next target.

A lot of Northern Californian liberal trash happily relocated to San Diego county, a relatively lower priced area, thanks to remote working.

Some companies happily moved or shifted tasks to the relatively lower priced area.

Well, they brought their over inflated salaries with them and proceeded to drive up the cost of everything towards Northern California price levels.

Most likely won’t be inclined to relocate to Texas. Too many laws hostile to their lifestyles that are aggressively enforced.

Interesting... is it possible Apple might team up with Texas Instruments, who is already in Austin?
