Why it matters: The corporate migration underway indicates vulnerable communities may see an exodus of large employers in the coming decades as oceans encroach. Inland areas prone to flooding or wildfires mare see similar challenges.

Host consensus is this OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:

Relax with your friends and talk about off-topic stuff. No political arguments.

This would be fine for General Discussion.
