You say that with so much certainty. It is very expensive for a company to just get up and leave. Especially how Apple likes to get their IP so closely guarded,

You say that with so much certainty. It is very expensive for a company to just get up and leave. Especially how Apple likes to get their IP so closely guarded, I can't imagine them to not balk at potentially thousands going across the street. Can you point to any example in history where a company moved an entire office out of spite of the state not willing to give them tax breaks after having a presence for 40 years? I'm sure you can't point to an example where it has happened twice.
