+1. A huge of their issue is finding a pool of talent. An MD HQ plus a CA HQ pull from the same pool of people. At which point, it would make more fiscal sense to just expand the VA site.

Sorry. An MD plus a VA site pull from the same talent pool...

At some point, HQ2 is just the DMV.

Hogan has to improve his talent pool. Better college tech. Better schools (and nixing the stupid after Labor Day start which ruins the AP test scores). Better tranportation. Otherwise, it could be more in Nashville instead.

Which isn’t so bad.

Not a problem of issue at all. MD is one of the most educated states in the country. That labor day reasoning is silly.

Labor Day is a non-issue. The curriculum, staff, large class sizes and no one cares at MCPS are far greater issues but Amazon doesn't care about that. MD workers just commute to VA as they do now. Amazon already has a huge presence here, just not a campus. They cannot fill the jobs they have aready. Transportation is also not really an issue.

No one cares at MCPS? Really!? That's news to me. Curriculum? Changing.
