"You know, when you insult a part of the country there is probably someone on FR who is from that part of the country. I’m 15 miles from being as far south in Alabama as you can physically go. We’re not inbreds. Nor, as a poster said a couple of weeks ago, do we have an IQ of 20."

The CEO ( Tim Cook)) of the highest tech and richest company in the world, Apple is from rural south Alabama, Robertsdale.

Like I told my son (lives in LA), presumably they couldn't find anyone of that quality in California.
