D&D General Hasbro leaving Rhode Island?

[Von Corellon]

“Hasbro CEO says no relocation for at least 18 months; McKee expects meeting this week”

I live in the biggest little state in the Union, Rhode Island—a bus stop between Boston and NYC. Hasbro has deep roots in RI, having its headquarters here for ages, but new CEO wants to move to Beantown (tax breaks!).
As predicted, the inept political and business leaders of this daft, and utterly corrupt, state were caught unawares and are scrambling to remedy the situation.
Welcome to the Surprise Round.
It will end tears lol
Hasbro heads north

Fellow Rhode Islander here.
Mass has deep pockets so there's probably not much RI can do about it. Sad!
Cheers

If there's one thing corporations love, it's beans.

Rhode island is a state? I always thought it was just some island off New York somewhere. I guess I never really looked into it.

"Island" feels like it's overstating things. My understanding is it's a big rock in Boston Harbor.

Look, we in Boston let you take Curt Schilling's 38 Studios from us... it's only fair we get another game company back.

People are fighting over Curt Schilling? Have they met him?

Is this Curt Schilling character similar to Russell Crowe where NZ didn't so much give him to Australia as just not let them give him back.
