My fear is that the Republicans to date may not fully understand what modern advanced manufacturing is... It’s not necessarily thousands of people pouring into the plant as in the old days.

The sheer scale of the tech boom is really straining the primary hubs and ratcheting up the pressure to move outwards... It’s having cascading real estate effects.

A huge portion of the region’s advanced industries presence owes to 50 years of accumulated technology capabilities, purchasing, and human capital development through the military industrial complex... That’s where ultimately all of our biotech, software, and now cyber and big analytics capacities come from.
