      Imagine being an engineer and crowing about how much you make, bitching about taxes, and how good you have it.

      Now you have to move to Texas.

      Lmao.

    How do we get so fortunate. Both Musk and Zuckerberg are out of here! The universe is giving us some good gifts as well.

      Texas was already full of assholes. Now we have Rogan, Musk, and Zuckerberg to make it even more pretentious and obnoxious. God I hate it here.

    Honestly, I’m all for tech continuing to move to Texas. Want to make Texas blue? Keep sending tech jobs there.

      I hate to wreck this beautiful dream, but tech is not nearly as blue as everyone thinks it is.

      I’ve never spent time around big tech types where the split wasn’t 30% libertarians, 30% right-wingers, and 30% american-style liberals.

      The problem there is the libertarians land all over the damn spectrum but you end up basically the same place you do everywhere else: it’s a 50/50 split.

      And let’s be honest, the expectation here is that a lot of the employees won’t move.

      If the goal is to avoid “liberal bias”, or whatever, moving the people from California to Texas won’t do a damn thing. What you do is you move the jobs somewhere unpalatable, knowing full well this will let you do a mass layoff without it being a layoff, because people “chose” not to move to where their job is.

      So we’re going to get a couple of jobs, but they’re going to be filled by people already here.

        I’m in IT. One of my coworkers has said he’s farther right than Limbaugh. He’s otherwise a really nice guy. 🤷
