Electronics giant flees Democrat stronghold for deep red Texas... less than a year after unveiling flashy new HQ
A bit late, but Samsung recognized its blunder.

“A major tech manufacturer is leaving New Jersey for Texas after just one year operating from its swanky new headquarters in the Democratic stronghold.

Electronics giant Samsung will soon be relocating more than 1,000 employees from its 312,000-square-foot office in Englewood Cliffs to Plano.

Featuring a cafeteria, fitness center, grocery store and even an arcade, the glass-walled HQ at 700 Sylvan Avenue was supposed to become the company's longtime home. …”

Interesting as they recently built a 1200 acre $25 billion chip manufacturing plant near Austin. Wonder why they didn't headquarter close to that plant?

Cost of living for employees, most likely. A friend was in tech - they put certain branches in Austin, due to the labor pool, but put the rest in Dallas, for cost.

Great. Even more ass holes and traffic.

I sucks that they will be relocating its employees.
Texas will be importing Democrats for the most part.

Just what we need. More H1B visas, democrats, traffic and higher prices for homes.

It seems they’re more invasive than cockroaches.

As to which is more frustrating….

Probably because Taylor Texas is not the place Samsung executives (and their wives) want to live. It's a hick town compared to Plano. (That said, the BBQ and Mexican restaurants can't be beat!)
