The southern states with lower taxes generally do not carry the same salaries as the northern states. A professionals salary in the North likely will have a higher compensation than a professional in the south. Competition also plays a big factor too in attracting talent. Both my sister and one of my brothers are northern transplants in the south, they both pay low taxes however their salaries are not the same if they were to be back working in the Northern area. It all just depends are what part of the country one lives in. During COVID, some companies would only pay or adjust to market rate if they were to move from San Fran to somewhere far cheaper to live.

Let's get back to Super Bowl car commercials and not property taxes.

Nothing great on HBO that I watch currently. I did see last season of Curb your Enthusiasm which was so so and definitely more PC than in the past.

The language in the Sopranos especially in reference to many ethnic groups, religions etc may not be allowed today. I’m not referring to the violence.

I liked these two add. Nissan was the best.

It depends but if you can get a transfer within the company they usually keep your salary. Also the salary hit is not as significant depending on industry.
Most people would still come out on top even if their salary took 10-20% hit if they moved to a state with no income taxes. Hence you see the huge migration to Texas, Florida, Tennessee etc.

For me, the enormous taxes were worth it to enjoy what NYC offers but since 2020 most of these things have gone away and now I hardly go to the city.

Och

Precisely. They destroyed whatever good NYC used to offer, and the negatives got far worse.

If you really want to watch something good and you like Sci-Fi, check out The Expanse (Amazon Prime show). It has everything, action, drama, adventure, and class struggle

The best jobs (white collar jobs) generally do not move south. Great new jobs in emerging fields also do not move south until those jobs are well established. . Toyota moved to Texas so they didn't have to increase the salaries for their head office. Tesla is building in Texas because it is cheaper to pay their workers to put parts on a car than it would be in Cali or the North.. Right to Work is a scam (for the worker) and they just don't know it.. They also want to be as close to Mexico as possible . In contrast, General Motors and their Super Cruise engineers are all based in the North, Canada is where a lot of them are as immigration and attracting top talent is very efficient and barrier free. California is very much like this, you want to take as many top talented individuals from other countries so you can keep a competitive advantage. Most if not all the top universities are in the Northern states which also attracted the highest talent which thus also commands the highest salaries. Most top hospital researchers are in the North as well

So to tie it all in to the Super Bowl ads so we stay on topic, I wonder where all the big advertising firms are located?

Southern California. Movie, music, entertainment and finance industries are all based out there. NY as well, but more SoCal. I went to school with several actors like Patricia Arquette and her brothers, Nicholas Cage etc. Patricia was in my 9th grade homeroom.BTW, when you watch a movie starring Nicholas Cage, he's actually playing Nicholas Cage LOL. I met him when he was dating Patricia....

I live in the south...southern california and I don't see cheap living costs at all. I'd say there isn't much difference living in so-cal vs. nor-cal...maybe 10% at most. Almost same salaries, cost of living, etc...

I've lived in nor-cal too and visit quite often for family but I prefer so-cal because 65-80 degree weather is what i'm all about

I do want to see Arnold do a movie as Zeus. Was thinking something on Netflix would be nice
