Well, we did have Mycroft Labs (assembler, loader/link editor, graphics software, early dial-up smart terminal emulator that was plagiarized by an outfit in Atlanta…) though the advertising savvy for international marketing was (is?) lacking, and then the famous SoftKlone as a semi-spin-out from Mycroft (on the east side of Magnolia, best known for having plagiarized that terminal emulator back), and then the legal records management software outfit. Oh, and a couple people from Felonious State U started a privacy violation tools (idiot kkkards, etc.) spin out.

Lots of bodyshops/ consultants/ temp/ consulting/ contingent outfits, though…a scourge on the land throughout USA.

It is not only locally that “disposable income has been disposed”. In Silli Valley & environs, average STEM incomes (high compared to gross national averages & medians) have been below what is required for a starter home mortgage for years.

The “finished” product is immediately exported, with a negative, 100% trade imbalance. Those graduates who decide to remain here, can explore careers in auto sales, fast food, lawn care, pest extermination or sports merchandise. Also, when was the last meaningful pay raise for state employees? This is what happens when disposable income has been disposed.
