Just ask Reginald Denny.
The woman from San Francisco says we live in a shithole? Has she walked down a sidewalk in her beloved SF lately?
Funny how she thinks we want call centers. She cannot fathom any other type of job.
what a douche-nozzle
Reading these folks who actually believe they are that smart is just such a laugh. I love it.
I work in a quiet rural town that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. Every day I see blacks and whites working together, chatting with each other, being polite to each other, motioning each other to go ahead while they wait, and treating each other with respect. Respect is way different than “tolerance” which implies you don’t like that person but will put up with them anyway.
Since she is so eager to give us advice, I have some for her. Grab an ear in each hand and pull. It just might work.
Why would she ever consider leaving her utopia non-bigotry? to venture to a “shit hole” anyhow?
Does she? think she is doing us a favor?
Just ask Reginald Denny.
I’d rather smell Cow Manure in the barn than the Urine on the sidewalks in SF.
I learned in Kindergarten that it is NOT in my best interest to take things that don’t belong to me.
She talks a lot about fiber, but she sounds like she needs more fiber in her diet.
“When big corporations think about where to put call centers, factors....” So brilliant she can’t proofread her FB posts. Too brilliant to work at a factory.
Her very first sentence is as good of an argument against immigration as you will find anywhere.
St Louis and KC folks move to the low tax conservative Ozarks and then start telling how to fix things. “If you like it so much, why did you move here?”
She's right. That's why 17 years ago I took my BS/MSEE degrees and got out of California.
One of the most intolerant screeds I’ve read, and she says she won’t sacrifice tolerance. That’s rich.
IOW - scraping by in a liberal cesspool is better than living the good life in a conservative idyllic environment....
Her post is filled with so many bigoted, prejudiced statements.
She thinks she knows all about rural Americans, just like the KKK thought they knew all about blacks, or the Nazis knew all about Jews, or the English knew all about the Irish, or the Imperial Japanese knew all about the Chinese, and so on, and so on...
It is really no different. Just prejudice.
What idiot you are, Melinda.
My rural home is beautiful. I sit on a pristine stream surrounded by woods. We see regular deer, fox, beaver, and recently even a bear. Our stream is full of clams, smallmouth bass, largemouth, cat, gar, etc.
In many ways, it’s a paradise.
But the entire county has only 27,000 people. If you took every dime that these folks make a year, assuming a 30,000 average, because we aren’t rich, you’d get a measley 200,000,000 dollars, assuming families of 4.
Our county is larger than our metropolitan counties in this state.
If a mile of highway costs a million to build, we could build only 200 miles of it, in a county roughly 40 miles wide and 40 miles deep.... Roads are probably the most important need of this county....not fiber optics.
And, of course, after taking EVERYTHING to do so, we’d have starving people, no schools, nothing else.
You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
However, we do have some of the hardest working people you’ll find anyplace. They don’t mind the sun, the outdoors, the cold, and heavy lifting.
We’re an ideal place for a manufacturer who’d want workers who actually work.
But snobs like you want us automatically overlooked because we don’t have metropolitan operas and chamber orchestras.
Reading her advice is like reading an article on gardening telling me how I can attract more slugs and other pests.
Like most socialist, they claim to be tolerant yet attempt to demonize anyone with a different opinion.
Tolerance gets you city streets smelling like sewers.
Tolerance gets you real hate crimes.
Tolerance gets you unlivable cities.
So please, do us all a favor. Keep your tolerance to yourself.
I think you need to read Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy. Why? Because New York City, Washington, DC, Chicago, the Los Angeles area, the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, OR and Seattle, WA have essentially become the fictional capital of Panem--indulging in excesses while ignoring the plight of everyone else. That's why Trump tapped into the anger of "everyone else" and got voted into office.
