In a significant workforce upheaval, dating app company Bumble has witnessed a departure of one-third of its Texas-based employees following the enactment of Senate Bill 8 (SB 8), also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act. This stark revelation was shared by Bumble’s Interim General Counsel, Elizabeth Monteleone, during a panel at the SXSW conference in Austin. The panel, titled “Healthcare Crisis in Post-Roe America,” delved into the repercussions of the restrictive abortion law from both medical and business perspectives.
Bumble, a company that has carved out its identity by promoting female empowerment in the online dating arena, has been at the forefront of the business world’s reaction to the Texas abortion law. Their stance was solidified when they became the first business to join an amicus brief in support of Zurawski v. State of Texas, a lawsuit filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights challenging the restrictive legislation. The brief, co-signed by businesses across Texas, including competitor Match Group and event organizer SXSW, emphasized the law’s daunting impact on businesses and their efforts to attract and retain talent.
This is what I said would happen when Roe V. Wade was overturned.
Not only will people be leaving Texas, employers will have an extremely hard time recruiting people to go to Texas to work. We all know the education systems in red states are very subpar so they have to recruit people from blue states to go there to work. Texas doesn't produce well educated people for a good work force.
Now, Texas won't even be able to recruit people to work there.
Not just work.
It's education too. People aren't going to go there to go to college. The colleges will lose those higher out of state tuitions so those in state will have to pay more for a college education.
Texas will lose seats in congress due to losing population. They will also lose federal money. Blue states will gain seats and federal money.
It used to be extremely rare to see a license plate from Texas in my state. Now, it's an everyday occurrence. I look to see who is driving those cars. It's all young people. Same with Florida. Same with Indian to a lessor extent.
It's going to get even worse as time goes on. Add the loss of body autonomy to the fact that it's becoming expensive to live in red states like Texas. Property taxes have gone through the roof. Insurance on homes is going through the roof. That's on top of extremely high electric costs and climate change causing massive wildfires either burning down millions of acres of land or hurricanes flooding and destroying property.
It's only going to get worse for red states and they are causing their own problems.
