Tbf Upstate New Yorkers are desperate for anything to help the brain drain. I remember living there when Kodak was on its last legs and it falling was a huge blow to the region.
Since then they’ve been looking for anything from Amazon to this.
literally everywhere in the US says they have a brain drain. what they have is a neoliberal globalized capitalism that turns everyone into fucking peasants again. brain drain is making excuses for capitalism.
I tell them "the soviet union never had brain drain. now drain deez soviet nutz!"
I wish they would learn from their past instead of trying to repeat the company town model. The local Rochester newspaper just did a couple articles about racial tensions arising from Kodak's discriminatory practices and the redlining that happened in the surrounding Maplewood neighborhood. Even when it was a good city it only applied to white folks.
It looks like they’ve repeated it once again with the U or R now filling in where Kodak left off.
They love local billionaire Tom Golisano too, he's the only person capable of creating wealth apparently. Being a company town allows them to maintain their bigoted ways. Yeah the majority of population in Rochester is black or Hispanic, but you'd never guess that if you met the staff working at U of R and Paychex.
