"Very liberal." Love it. It is the "liberal states" where the atmosphere
is most conducive to innovation technology.

Didn't you make your fortune via innovation technology?

Just about every assessment I've seen says that the leading technology
states in terms of innovation technology and percentages of workers
employed in innovation technology are Massachusetts, California, New
York, and Connecticut.

You think there is a connection between liberal politics and innovation
technology? You think SpaceX is headquartered in California by accident?

I wonder how successful you might have been, business technology wise,
had you started up when you did in Mississippi, South Carolina, or Florida.



I am struggling trying to figure out how your comments relate to the
post I made. It was about her very liberal views regarding guns, not
technology or what I did for a living.

Have you had your morning coffee yet?

He tries very hard to be an asshole. Thing is, he really doesn't have to try at all.

The company I work for is an industry leader in our field, and it is acomputer/IP/software centric business. We were started in a small town in SC, and continue to be headquartered here. While large cities in the popular population centers certainly attract young professionals, the trend seems to be moving away from that model and more into a situation like ours. We have no problem attracting and keeping talent.

'Airree has obviously never heard of Research Triangle Park, or his
prejudices against the south don't allow him to acknowledge it.



Yup. Visited that area often as we had a couple of major customers there.

You have nothing but disdain for what you view as "liberal politics,"
yet it is liberalism that helped create the atmosphere in the state in
which your business thrived.

You must be a big fan of today's conservatism, as embodied by the GOP,
CPAC, and Donald Trump, eh?

His post had nothing to do with politics, and displayed none of the 'disdain' you mention.

You try too hard to find something to argue about. Makes you look stupid.

Yup, the culture is different. Apparently they didn't get their fair share of deviants.

I think they just do a better job of weeding the deviants out. It is
certainly a different culture tho,.

Harry never misses the opportunity to **** on people who don't live in

Oh yeah, it was goober tech in a place best known for corn.

I didn't see North Carolina there. Wayne is right you missed Triangle
Park.
You also seem to ignore that Bill Gates bought the software that was
the basis for Microsoft from a guy in New Mexico. I agree these
computer people clustered around Silicon Valley but that was largely
because the government shoveled massive amounts of DoD and NASA
contract money there, thanks to the power of having more congressional
reps but it has nothing to do with gun control. It has to do with
where the fabs were.

Australia was founded with deviants. So was the USA in some part. The
British transported excess criminals initially to America until the
Revolutionary War and then established colonies in Australia to send
them to.
