As a person who knows little about Oklahoma from the States, I feel since the dust bowl and the native americans being “sent” there, it has been one of the least funded per capital states from the federal side of things. I can’t remember many projects at all that have started and weren’t sucked up by bordering states or someone like Texas simply because “we know who texas is, and they have people” or some shit. Oklahoma I’m sure could be great, we just need people to care about the people there
If you are talking about why companies don’t come here, if we look at education as a factor, then the talent pool ain’t here. We are 44th in the country for how many of us have a bachelor’s degree.
But we are great cheap labor.
