The entire business case for Texas is its lack of ethics and regulation, that's the whole reason startups want to invest to begin with. For every 'ethical' company that might balk at Texas' brutal policing and justice system, there's ten in line behind them wanting to know who to pay to rough up unionists and troublemakers.
And I promise you - earnestly, on a stack of Bibles if you want - that no amount of money can make Greg Abbott give a single rat fuck. This man's administration booby-trapped the Rio Grande with buoys outfitted with saw blades and razor wire then threatened civil war when the Biden administration complained about it. He once said the only reason Texas doesn't shoot anyone crossing the Mexican border on sight is that the federal government would consider it murder, and I strongly suspect he was making air quotes when he said "murder."
Texas harbors neither the governor nor the government you come to appealing to common decency or empathy, and Big Tech is mostly fine with that. This whole line of inquiry is a farce.
