After losing his Tennessee bid for the US Congress, Davy Crockett was quoted as saying to his constituents,
"Y’all can go to hell and I will go to Texas"
In this epoch, middle-aged aged tech pioneers seem to be adopting this mindset. Another week and Oracle, one more tech giant with its hypergrowth phase a distant memory, has announced its HQ move to Texas.
Will these moves catalyze a new manner of collaboration across the Red-Blue divide, with Texas and California, in essence, holding joint custody of a growing number of major corporations?
Akin to divorces, one hopes that a spirit of cooperation, however uncomfortable, will arise after dawning realization of the futility of antagonism and games of one-upmanship. The fate of both states will be inextricably connected for the foreseeable future.
