Surprised Georgia isn't higher. Not a knock but Atlanta seemed to have a lot.

Memphis alone is home to International Paper, FedEx, and Autozone. Very underrated city in terms of economic output.

Maybe if distributing meth was a legitimate enterprise I could have seen that coming.

Eat shite, I happen to like Memphis. And I'm from Nashville.

Memphis and Nashville carry the whole state, especially a lot of bumfrick East Tennessee

Not really sure why Missouri is surprising. They have St Louis.

It's all about big cities here. Texas has the obvious ones, Georgia has Atlanta, Florida has Tampa and Miami, etc.

There’s more bumfrick Tennessee in Middle and West Tennessee by far. Then you add in the abortion of a city that is Memphis and it’s just worse than Mississippi.

And KC which is actually larger in population than St Louis.

(Well in terms of just the two cities not sure about metro areas)

Like 15 of the 16 companies located in Georgia are from the Atlanta Metro area.

Nashville is an awesome city. Memphis is a terrible city. I think we can all agree on that.

Georgia is objectively a better state than Missouri. We look down on you.

Metro wise, KC is larger than STL...and that's due to the great divorce between the city and county in 1876. Obviously STL would be larger IF the Better Together plan goes through.

Where are you getting this information? In 2018, Georgia had 20/21 Fortune 500 companies. I’m curious to know if 4-5 Fortune 500 companies in Georgia folded or moved.
