Carl's Jr already had roots in the South because of Hardee's.

The problem with scalping businesses to Tennessee rather than growing your own is

a) Your state is a failure at growing businesses if you have to steal them
b) This kind of stupidity results in a "race to the bottom" in regulation and taxes. That's not a good thing, because it leaves the capitalists free to dump and pollute and steal and exploit with their short term business-cycle-long thinking.

Net-taker states all over the South are a drain on taxpayers in those blue coastal states. We're tired of you freeloading. Get a job. Not our jobs.

"developers failing to vet third-party code for vulnerabilities"

LOL. What would you suggest? Code inspection by magically infallible developers who have their own work to do creating new features probably wouldn't recognize vulnerabilities in their own code?

Most companies and projects do not employ security researchers and specialists, not for their own code and certainly not for anyone else's, and they are not about to do so. And even if they could afford it, I wouldn't be too hopeful of the bugs actually being found. In fact, spending the time to find the bugs in the first place probably creates more vulnerability than would otherwise exist.
