“The young professionals whom I met were excited about what tomorrow might bring. Dallas, not San Francisco”

I would not be too sure about that.

It’s the ass end of America.

Just look at what oozes out of it.

It’s become everything conservatives said it would become. Instead of acknowledging we were correct, we get mocked and called named. F San Francisco.

NO. After the split, Red America will do fine. Now, it could be the future of Blue America post-divorce.

I was there recently for a conference. My hotel was about 5 blocks from the convention center. During my walks, there were homeless everywhere. One guy was walking around with his pants down and his bare @ss sticking out. Several times, I passed women screaming obscenities at the top of their lungs in the middle of a busy sidewalk. I had to step over barf and smelly mystery liquid several times. I didn't see any obvious human feces, but the fact that the business owners along Powell Street and other streets nearby had to power wash the sidewalks in front of their stores/restaurants every morning told me all I needed to know.

It's a half-step from third-worldism there.
