It makes perfect (business) sense to locate it in a state with reasonable wages not drive up by unreasonable taxes and regulations, huge amounts of available land, common sense zoning restrictions, reasonable environmental regulations, and politicians that are actually interested in your business becoming a success . It's what's made the oil/gas/information services/computer/auto/semiconductor/etc. industry successful so far.
Really, it doesn't matter when he or any other President did that.
What really matters is that the ignorant fool of an AC believes that he should be able to do that. It should scare the shit out of everyone that even an AC would think that a President should be able to cast aside state laws with a mere wave of his hand or executive order. That's fucking dictator shit right there.
People have thrown the Dictator charge around and it's been consider kookville, because there has always been some arguable legal construct supporting it. But for anyone to seriously suggest that a President has unilateral discretion over the laws of individual states is scary and should get everyone's attention.
So you get a PC, a large hard drive, a high speed connection, spend hours searching for movies to down load when you could have just gone to the matinee and paid $7.
How many movies do you have to download to make the economics work?
I'm having a hard time visualizing how this is going to work..
Will I see these things flying over my neighborhood at 300 feet and then drop down to my front door? Will the package be left on the lawn? If they have 20 deliveries to my 600 home neighborhood, will they send 20 drones or send a few drones multiple times? What is the range of these drones? Will they send a text or call and essentially say, "come and get it?" Wind? Rain? Construction (cranes, concrete pumpers, other tall equipment. Trees? Automated or manned? Will there be Job postings or drone pilots?
In 2013, 101 firefighters died in the line of duty.
In 2013, about 110 police officers died...mostly in traffic accidents. Only 33 due to firearms and even among those few actually killed by bad guys.
Firefighters risk their lives on every call and are protected by nothing more than a thick coat and helmet and their brains.
The Police face risks on every call but most a boring and not dangerous. They are protected by firearms, theirs and their partners, ballistic vests, and overwhelming firepower when needed.
The Police kill innocent people all the time. Firefighters rescue innocent people all the time.
These are things that were predicted to happen within a short time, yet have not. It is Alarmist information meant to sway public and official opinion. It is misinformation.
Pass these laws or you will never see now again. Make these changes or the Midwest will be ravaged by Tornadoes, etc.
One day, after you stop in at the local Ice cream shop or fast food place, you get an email:
You have consumed products that have been deemed harmful to your health. You premium has been temporarily increased by 1% for this month. Continuing these unhealthy practices can result in a permanent increase.

The government scares me less because they don't want to maximize the money they get from me.
Tell that to the IRS
In theory, I have far more control over my government than my insurers.
You can change Insurers, but not really your Government.
Certainly I have more oversight, and there are laws governing what the government can do with my information.
ROFLMAO!!!
Private companies don't have the same restrictions, and even if they did they have limited liability, an army of lawyers, and my only recourse will be to get $1.28 in a class action lawsuit.
And you can't sue the Government unless they agree to be sued.
You are absolutely correct. You can have the windows and use heads up displays, or "helmet" mounted displays (Google Glass?) supplement additional information.
As a pilot, I can think of nothing more idiotic than to get rid of the front wind screens/canopies/windshields whatever you want to call them.

California has lots of oil too.
It remains locked up by the Environmentalists and Bureaucrats. So you have oil, but no oil industry to speak of.

But were they young, cute girls?
I had a business called ComputerChicks. For $500 they'd come to your house, fix up your computer and then fix you up...any way you wanted.
The authorities got really cranky about it.
But I did get meet a lot of really interesting guys over the course of 5 to 10 years with time off for good behavior.
Because of more leg room and the Killer Traffic Clearing Device?

You ask these questions as if the answer to any of them would justify the act.
Try going into a bookstore and walking out with a book and not pay for it.

A chimpanzee named Fred was eaten by a tiger after recklessly clapping his hands and making kissing sounds, attracting the tiger's attention.
Other members of the troop were unanimous in describing Fred as "not the sharpest stick in the jungle".
It's better than nothing.
Any anyone who would make an issue of it has waay too much time on their hands.

If you Plumber doesn't shoot you when you happen to pick up a pipe wrench, then yes, hats off to him too.
Now it's just 5 years of environmental studies, lawsuits and billion dollar "mitigation" measures.

Maybe there is Google technology that Slashdot could use to prevent duplicate stories from appearing within days of each other.

Just off the first page of a Google search.
Hurricanes will increase in number and intensity.
Tornadoes will increase in number and intensity.
New York will be under water.
Britain will never see snow again.
Record low Hurricanes, Tornadoes, New York still hasn't flooded, and Britain just had record snowfall this last winter.
Counted the number of hurricanes lately?
How about tornadoes?
Is New York Underwater yet?
Britain will never see snow again.
Etc.
Sikorsky has a demonstrator copter that does 290 MPH and the Eurocopter X-3 does 300 MPH.
Why spend spend 100 Billion to go slower?
I can see it now.
