Yeah, that's a great question too.
I mean, what we can see so far for the key mega donors that have been very active this cycle, they're donating more and they're donating more early.
And part of that could be that the packs they're interested in are getting more involved into primary races where their dollars can actually be more effective.
And part of it is they're just giving a lot of money to Mega Inc., which is Donald.
Trump's super PAC that supported his last presidential run and has already accumulated about $400 million.
What's interesting about that is that Mega Inc.
has been very obscure about how it plans to deploy that money.
And so the experts I talked to have said, you know, donating to Mega Inc.
is more about sort of being visible on Trump's radar than it is really about trying to influence one race or another.
Thank you.
Workforce talent is really the shining star that brought Boston to the top of our list this year.
Yeah, I mean, workforce talent is really the shining star that brought Boston to the top of our list this year.
And this workforce capital really means a highly educated workforce, a large portion of your population being in that working age spectrum and a atmosphere of educational institutions, startup companies.
where innovation is really happening.
And, you know, one stat really stood out to me is that one in four dollars of biopharma VC funding in the US goes to Massachusetts companies.
And for a relatively small state, you know, it's the second highest share in the country behind California.
So Boston actually scored very well across the board.
And I think that's one of the reasons why it came up as our winner this year.
I mean, workforce and talent is its star, but foreign business needs, being close to a major port, having a large international airport.
Openness and diversity, Boston scores incredibly well on having a diverse population base that speaks a wide variety of languages.
