    | Cost cutting also plays a factor here, as tech companies large and
    | small look to hunker down as signs of demand soften.

    | Offshoring jobs to countries where workers command lower wages is
    | nothing new for American businesses, but it's seen an uptick in the
    | tech sector in recent months. Texas-based tech firm TaskUS laid off
    | 200 employees, which it blamed on a softening economy and inflation,
    | even as it said it would look to expand overseas. Major players like
    | Google Cloud have started moving some customer support jobs to
    | Mexico, Insider reported in 2021.

    stage: Trump, DeSantis, Christie, etc... would have wiped him off
    the stage. Abbott stumbles on his own words but he has his facts
