"My husband would never live there" - discussion with a magapublican [View all]

I was head hunted by Amazon AGAIN yesterday morning. Note - our work can be done anywhere, is very specialized, and in order to get highly skilled people to complete the work - the field of experience is allowing remote and hybrid work. Amazon thinks we are Warehouse Employees. Hence, why these jobs sit open for so long.


I asked one of my Specialists jokingly -

"Hey you want to move to Seattle to work for Amazon? Pays about $220K"

Her response?

"Oh I loved Seattle but there were a lot of homeless people there. My husband would NEVER live there because of their politics."

And she said both things with a big smile.

I was like "Really? Oh wait - that makes sense. I would never live in in TX or SC or someplace like that."

Smile deflated. They live in a Philadelphia suburb in Bucks County.

No one was owned. No one won. Just one for one.

I truly believe if we can't break the minds of the magapublicans and bring down the Regime - we are heading towards Balkanization.
