The federal government is going to keep needing geeks near me in Huntsville for DOD R&D on planes and missiles and missile defense. Same with building boats in Mobile, AL. Same with all the cargo coming into the deeply drudged beaches of Mobile so it can be carried up into the heartland. Same with all the car manufacturers spread out across Alabama with low cost-of-living labor in Alabama and our right-to-work ease of employment. Same with people buying our cotton, peaches, peanuts, chicken, pork, and tons of other agriculture. The same with all the tech companies growing in Huntsville, AL and Birmingham, AL because they need computer geeks more focused on data structures and algorithms instead of MIT or Google "scientists" stuck on trying to figure out differences between men and women.
Basically, the liberals need us more than we need them and some of us red-staters know it and aren't bending over backwards trying to claim God's rainbow quit meaning God keeps His word and now means the best sex is the kind that tears up your butthole.
Let those big tech co panties pull out..no pun intended..better to save your soul than have a iPhone or whatever.
I typed companies and it came out painties.
