Ohio, INTC, Chips, A Republican Governor And All That Jazz -- January 21, 2022

Ohio seems an unusual spot among the states so Ohio must have really, really played ball with INTC.

INTC is headquartered in California.

One would consider these states well ahead of Ohio:

• California -- blue
  
• Texas -- red
  
• Arizona -- more blue than red
  
• Washington state -- blue
  
• Alabama -- red but ....
  
• Upstate NY (Cornell, Ithaca) -- blue
  
• New Jersey (Princeton) -- blue
  
• Massachusetts (MIT, Harvard) -- blue
  

I don't "get" Ohio at all but haven't seen the reasons why INTC chose Ohio ... until now.

Here's the backstory: Here's how Ohio won a bid by Intel to build the world's largest chip factory.
