Tech Founder: Middle America Is Too ‘Violent, Stupid And Racist' For New Jobs |
2018-01-16 |
[Daily Caller] 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." Byerley says that the first thing those in middle America need to realize is that "no educated person wants to live in a shithole with stupid people." Particularly, in a "shithole" filled with people who are "violent, racist, and/or misogynistic." In Byerley’s opinion, "big corporations," do not consider moving to the heart of America because "those towns have nothing going for them." The towns have "no infrastructure, just a few bars and a terrible school system." The MBA claims that "we," the educated people, like herself, "would like to live a more rural lifestyle," but they "won’t sacrifice tolerance or diversity to do so." Especially, these folks do not want to live in "states where the majority of residents are voting for things against their own interests," solely, because these voters "don’t want brown people to thrive." She declares that if middle American towns can begin fixing their schools, and, essentially, "clean up their act," then people like Byerley will "want to live there." She even says that the fixing these problems would bring the "best and brightest" of our youth who "would rather scrape by in SF than live in a huge house somewhere if it meant dealing with with bigots and backwards ideologies every day," to middle America. It's nitwits like this that make it easy to omit "MBA" from my bio. |

#25 Coastal Shithead. Keep on doing that while we in Texas vacuum up all those businesses you are running out of Cali. I for one will laugh my ass off when California collapses under its own weight of government regulation, taxes and elitist bullshit like this. |

#19 Funny the last I checked, ITT, Xerox, Dell, BMW, Honda, Toyota (making those nifty snowflake mobile Priuses) and Mercedes Fucking Benz were all located in the DEEP SOUTH where people have a work ethic, no sense of entitlement, and respect for their fellow man...not to mention going to church on Sunday. Any guesses as to what elitist pompous sneer factory she went to? |

#18 She's immature and lashing out at Trump and Trump voters. Hopefully her stockholders will have something to say about her elitism and hate. |

#10 Where is Boeing now? Mr. Wife threw out Procter&Gamble, WalMart, Kroger, Eli Lilly, Ashland, Toyota, Ford, GM, Chrysler, factories for BMW, Mercedes, and Toyota without pausing to think. The lady is behind the times. Forbes ran the following article in April, 2016: Where Are 75 Midwestern Companies Developing The Internet Of Things and a quick search yields a lot of articles about Midwest technology companies and the Silicon Prairie. |

#8 I bet she mouths-off against Trump for language (assuming he actually said shithole) and doesn't see the hypocrisy. Makes me glad I live in Idaho, "rural" America. I don't want the butt-ugly beast here with her prejudice. I used to work in Silicon Valley. Attitudes like this are a dime-a-dozen. |
