Advancing technology overall is nice, but does not benefit Arizona any more than if they let some other sucker state do the experimenting.
Not everything has to be tied to a direct effect, but if you think this, maybe you could explain at least one mechanism by which you think Arizona could actually indirectly get some benefit?
- michaelt 9y agomaybe you could explain at least one mechanism 1. Arizona does things that are "business friendly" and "good for high-tech R&D" regardless of job creation. 2. It becomes widely known that Arizona is business friendly, and good for high-tech R&D. 3. This reputation attracts companies that will create jobs. (I'm not claiming I think this will work - just that it's plausible a politician might think it could work.)
