One Silicon Valley executive had a few choice words to describe Americans living in the heart of the nation, and they were not flattering.
Melinda Byerley, MBA and founder of Timeshare CMO, a Silicon Valley-based tech start-up, tweeted out Saturday afternoon describing what middle America could do to get more jobs in their area.

You really do need to get out and go live with other elites such as yourself...
BTW, the mixing thing is best exemplified by the Wal-Mart experience. In the Seattle area, wal-mart competes with everyone else, so what happens is that a lot of folks don’t shop there. Go into the Renton Wal-Mart. It is like a third world country in there. It is disgusting. The women’s clothing section looks like a teenaged girl’s bedroom. I went in there 6 times when I lived in Renton. I never actually bought anything. The place is appalling.
Now, go into the Wal-Mart where I live in central KY. It’s the only game in town, really, which means everyone shops there. The people who work there are very nice. It is very clean. You always see someone you know or from your church. But there really are just not that many people that live in those areas.
i.e. Middle america just doesn’t have that many trainable people compared to the huge population centers. BTW, I live in a college town.
I used to bicycle commute to downtown seattle from the east side and the south side. I regularly rode through a lot of very seedy neighborhoods. But high tech employers can simply ignore those people and go for the ones that are well educated, have involved parents, and have the motivation to make something of their lives. There is a high quantity of kids like that in large population centers. There are much less in middle America.
Sadly, even a place like Louisville simply doesn’t have the raw human material that somewhere like Seattle has. The populations are not as different as you would think, but that is because Seattle is only a part of a HUGE population center. Louisville is surrounded mostly by farms and woods.
Full of themselves
I live in flyover country and are quite happy about it. Family has lived in this county since 1889. I traveled for a living for 30+ years. Have seen a lot of small towns. Want nothing to do with cities.
There is a LOT of that EVERYWHERE. Big city mentality just gives you justification to whistle on past it.
That was a male,baby!
The towns have no infrastructure, just a few bars and a terrible school system.
Most people in the south do not look down their noses at people who don’t have as much as they do...You know, like you seem to do...
When I retired, my yearly salary was $127,000...but I had no problem whatsoever with other southern people, no matter what they made...It is just the way things are in the south...
Like I said, you either need to change your attitude or go back to where you are more comfortable...
Who wants to live next to a backwards, regressive, skill-less, mutant like Melina?
I’ll keep my rural home and conservative, God-Fearing, loving neighbors over any racist, genocidal, liberal “edumacated” clown any day.
“the pretentious life style and the anti-American attitude is poisonous.”
And yet they think and say that theirs is the patriotic agenda.
About the only thing I agree with this woman about is the quality of education in these areas. Her own bigoted comments about the people here regarding diversity, tolerence and the like are really just projection. i.e. she only wants to live around people like herself. Interestingly, I LIKE living around people that are diverse, but just not in the way she measures it. My best friend here has an 8th grade education and is hard to understand, but we enjoy each other’s company.
There are some seriously bigoted people here, but she proves there are where she lives as well. She’s one of them. They are just bigoted about different things.
I’m using the dictionary definition of the word.
Most people in the south do not look down their noses at people who dont have as much as they do...You know, like you seem to do...
However, a lot of folks here really are making very bad decisions on a daily basis. And when an area already has a small employment pool, employers have no motivation to do anything here. Again, my call center example is empirical evidence. It is a real problem.

“a Silicon Valley-based tech start-up”
So he’s in between stints of unemployment.
...And we thought the election was about the elites versus the rest of us...
Wow.
Is Melinda Byerley, founder of Timeshare CMO, simply an ignorant bigot, or is Melinda Byerley an ignorant bigot?
So Jerry O'Connell has gone trans. Still looks like a man though.
Well let’s see how stupid they are.
On their about page:
1. “...we can help you make sense of your marketing choices and prevent you from the costly mistakes made by new startup founders.”
REally? and you made such an overly broad statement about 1/2 of Murica? Eeee yeah, dat don’t make sense.
2. Free-range, artisanal, organic, customized marketing. If Adwords isn’t right for you we won’t recommend it. Simple as that. As Reid Hoffman says, “Every marketing strategy is suis generis.” We won’t be running a playbook on you. Our team is based in the United States with people who specialize in the speed and execution-orientation required by the most demanding startups.
Couple things:
A. Am I orderin Chicken Cordon Blue or getting a fancy lettuce salad?
B. Who in duh Phuk is Reid Hoffman?(I know who he is but, 90% of your customers won’t and will be confused)
C. Your people are in the United States? Just not in Middle America, right?
Birkenstocks-on-the ground expertise with tools in companies of all sizes. We won’t just dump a powerpoint on your desk. We know how to actually do work, not just tell you what to do.
Couple things again:
A. Birkenstock wearing effete A-holes?
B. People who wear Birkenstocks are not “generally” known for work ethic, much less ethics.
C. I am two paragraphs in and I still don’t know what you do.
We’ll teach you and your team how to fish because let’s face it, no startup can afford an agency forever (and if you can, please let us know right away). We’ll teach your team what we know so they can keep doing great work when we’re gone.
A. You’ll teach me how to fish? Lemme guess: cast my net on the other side of the boat?
B. Do you walk on water because you can’t swim?
C. You’ll teach my team what you know? Why in the hell do i care about you know? Would you like to get know my company and my people, the culture, how we do things, what our mission is and can you help us make small changes that are transparent, not painful and make work easier?
Counseling. You think we’re kidding? Startups are hard, gritty, emotional work, and sometimes just talking privately to an experienced Silicon Valley marketer who’s been there, done that, can help you solidify your ideas and feel confident in your evaluations of the market, your company, and your competitors.
A. Counseling? Do I think you’re a joke? Pathetically yeah.
B. You only do work in Silicon Valley? That is what you imply. I’m not sure I would want engage you in a 5 minute conversation, since I’m in Tulsa, OK.
Oh, that’s right, that is Middle America, so no biggee.

After 14 years in Silicon Valley, most recently as a founder myself of a technology company, I know what you are going through: sleepless nights, anxiety about hiring and financing, the general feeling of not knowing what you don’t know. Whether it’s digging into your Google Analytics code to fix a problem, creating a dashboard that actually helps your business, or thinking big picture about how to expand your markets and creatively drive acquisition; I’ve done it all, hands on. I can pick up the phone and talk to insiders at every major social media and marketing platform to get instant advice for your business. I’ve hand picked and trained a team of experts, all located in the United States and native English speakers, to execute the work you need, fast.
You are so full of yourself and crap.
Did you forget to list your accomplishments and how you helped other companies Achieve an important outcome?
Are you sure you are a marketing expert? Listing your accomplishments and how your ideas helped people move forward seems pretty dang’d basic.
So, I had to get to bottom of your idiotic “About” page to find:
What Can We Do For You? Some ideas...
You might have promoted that right up front but, there are zero links to the 11 things you can do for anyone and even then there is no goal statement about the effects these can have on an organization, just a bunch of gobbly gook that I don’t have time to read.
Your company was never well thought out and you are more a self promoter than an entrepreneur.
You will not be in this business, as an owner, January 2018.
Her mom loves that face....
What cracks me up is she calls her company “Timeshare CMO”.
I really thought they sold property I will never use and have to pay maintenance fees on forever...
