This could have been done in Guatemala or Honduras. Could have brought some jobs, peace and stability for that region.
I come from South America, companies leave because their workers get mugged, kidnapped and/or themselves (or family member) ends up death one day. Governments sometimes also just start tightening and appropriating grounds little by little out the blue.
When I left, over ten years ago, the metric was about 60 homicides per weekend on the capital city. Never looked back... it was just horrendous. I guess it’s worse now.
All of this to say, it’s the other way around, if the government or system can guarantee peace and stability for said company and its workers then yes. Myself, if somehow I end up having a multi billion dollar worth company I WOULD NOT risk setting up business there in those conditions: I would not put myself, my family, employees and their families to such dangers.
