Not sure if you've lived in NC... but there are a few things to that that I think you may have missed:
1. Yes, the fact that this is uniformly a control state, that is a problem. (Given how they are, I wish they had some special exclusion areas) However, a lot of the east coast operates in the same manner. The early hour for last call is bad as well.
2. Politics that you're talking about have very little to do with the tech sector. Despite what silicon valley would have you believe, you can be a conservative and be a productive member of the industry.
3. This sounds like you're pushing a political agenda here. I think a more succinct way to put this would be: Given the demographic that the tech industry attracts, the bible belt would not be favourable to their lifestyle.
4. (Also see #3)
There are reasons for doing tech in NC and it does have a small tech sector.

- taurath 8y ago> Despite what silicon valley would have you believe, you can be a conservative and be a productive member of the industry. The average tech worker is in their 20s an 30s and in general aren’t conservative, especially socially. They don’t want to hang around bigots all day. If you’re anything other than a straight white dude, the only advantage of being in a conservative area is cost.
- oh_sigh 8y agoHow much time have you spent in the south? You seem to know it quite well.
