Do you think other companies will think twice about setting up in red states?

One thing this Disney attack has proven is that Red states are not actually pro-business. Anytime you do something Republicans don't like, you get punished. That's poor incentive for businesses to want to setup operations there.

Do you think other companies will change plans to move to states like Florida and Texas? I haven't heard of any comments from other big companies about what's happening with Disney.

1. It will have a very chilling effect, bare minimum.

2. I hope these businesses will take a lesson from this.

That Repughs are only out for themselves. Maybe Dems can get through to people like Disney. Hope so.

3. It depends. Some companies prefer pathetically grateful beaten-down employees...

…who will work for low wages.

We will shortly know who they are, too.

4. How much money was Disney donating to the Florida Republican party?

5. I came back from a Florida vacation a couple couple weeks ago.

Never again will I spend a vacation in a red state. My money will be spent and enjoyed in Blue States only for the rest of my days.

6. I dont think it will have much effect

Companies love lower labor costs and less regulations. What is going to cost them more money? Facing potential backlash from staying quiet on social issues, or paying more in labor costs and dealing with stricter regulations? Any backlash would likely be temporary, Americans have a notorious short attention span. Labor costs and regulations, on the other hand, are long term. Most companies love money above all and will chose whatever is best for their owners or stockholders bottom line.

7. Ha!!! They're lead by their greed. Kinda like moths are lead by their instinct to get near

that light.

9. Depends on the company. Those that require a highly

educated work force are going to think twice. The pool of potential employees in those states is small and current employees are going to be reluctant to move back to 1950.

10. No.

Companies go where they can make the most money. There are many factors. The market for their products, infrastructure, taxes, the workforce, weather, and others. Politics is way down the list because it comes and goes in all locations.
