I predict a Florida "brain drain". Based on my colleagues.

49. My area, near Kennedy Space Center, is a bit different.

Boeing is moving their aerospace headquarters here. Lockheed Martin employs more than 9,000 people in the area. The Navy is moving all their submarine missile testing here (out of the submarine base at Port Canaveral). A bunch of smaller aerospace companies are building facilities in the area.

Just a few bits of info I found:
"The state ranks #2 in the U.S. for the number of aerospace and aviation establishments and is home to more than 17,000 aerospace-related companies that employ 130,000 Floridians.Jan 20, 2021"

From the US Dept of Labor:
"Florida is known as the premier location in the world for space technologies. Virtually every major aerospace company and defense contractor in the U.S. and abroad has operations in Florida. The state has been a center for aerospace research and testing since 1946."

And:
"Orlando is at the center of an enormous cluster of top aerospace and defense companies."

Yes, I live in the "aerospace bubble" around Kennedy & it's not like the horror stories you hear about MAGA idiots everywhere. Heck, very few folks where I live are from Florida, most relocated from northern states, & my neighbors are from South Africa.

I have also heard that DeSantis is not making our aerospace industry happy. They're smart & well-educated & they see his crap for what it is. They also need to attract smart well-educated employees, & he's making it harder for them.
