The South in most cases is run by conservative governors which in turn promotes industry and therefore jobs........and Yankees gotta eat just like everyone else. Trouble is that many insist on attempting to turn the South into the same kind of schithole they were fortunate enough to escape. Please notice I said many and not all.
Yep, most of them want the perks that the South has to offer, but they have trouble leaving their Yankee identity behind. I had a neighbor, a transplanted Yankee try and tell me why the state he had left, Pennsylvania, was so great and Kentucky was found lacking. I then said to him.............if you liked it that well there, why did you move here? He didn't answer, and over 25 years later, is still here.
