Yeah I don't like this kind of rhetoric and I'm a mean old Yankee. Certainly plenty of problems, but there's a lot of genuinely good people down there too. Also good reasons to be down there, a lot of the space industry has set up shop there for logistical reasons and there's a great pool of talent to draw from because of that.
Aerospace is one of those industries that flys under the radar (pun intended) I live in CT and I can't tell you how many people are surprised when you explain to them just how chock full of high end manufacturing our state really is. You can hardly swing a cat without hitting a machine shop making airplane and/or rocket parts here.
