Tech icon criticizes San Francisco, announces move to Florida: 'Impossible to stay here'
SF Gate ^ | November 22, 2020 | by Katie Dowd

Bay Area tech icon Keith Rabois announced he's leaving San Francisco permanently - and he is criticizing the city on his way out.

Rabois, an early executive at PayPal, Square, LinkedIn and more, told Fortune he is "moving imminently" because he's finding it "impossible to stay" in San Francisco. After living in the Bay Area for 20 years, he said he plans on moving to Florida.

"I think San Francisco is just so massively improperly run and managed that it's impossible to stay here," Rabois told Fortune. He told the publication other friends in his peer group have done the same, and a look at his Twitter account shows multiple tweets about the so-called San Francisco exodus.

Rabois is a legend in Silicon Valley as an investor and a tech exec. He rose to prominence as part of the PayPal Mafia, a group of early PayPal employees including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, who have since become big names in the industry.

I will not be surprised when this all shakes out that voters will look at Democrats in a new way.

Oh, if only that were true! However, things have 'shaken out' completely over the last few years, and democrats have doubled down on their evil idiocy.

This is why a potential Harris regime is going to be so wildly successful.

To all LIB/Leftist losers: You aren’t wanted in other places. Don’t bring your LIB/leftist BS here. At best, you will be shunned. Keep out!

Just really remember why you left, and what caused the the environment to make you leave.
And then make sure you don’t support similar polices in your new location.

Hopefully, he’ll head to Miami-Dade. They’re already heavily Democrat down there, and besides, maybe he can learn some lessons from the Cubans and Venezuelans who reside there.

“It would be a shame if all these blue staters who flee to red states were made to feel unwelcomed. Just sayin”

Instead of pooping on their doorsteps/sidewalk you can poop in a styrofoam cup and ‘force’ it onto their front doorknob.

Someone has to clean toff...

The ‘Cup ‘O Poop’ method is good...

Communist governments fail simply because it puts ideology before reality.

They always fail but never go away because the military always stays fed.
