What an annoying click bait title. But the article is good (if short). I guess I wonder why something like this is even legal. It seems corruptive of the marketplace to just hand billions of dollars to some companies and not others and it seems there's no good way to stop it as long as this is a tool that municipalities are allowed to use in competition with one another. Has it always been this way or did we have a fix in the past?

It's much easier for most entities to pick up and relocate than it was when most economic activity was tied to local resources. There are of course many exceptions but for the tech industry, the main thing holding anyone in place seems to be the local talent pool. Perhaps improvements in remote work technology and universal broadband access will even diminish that as a nucleation point.
