Salesforce says it will help employees move out of states that ban abortion

1. They could use that giant empty office building in downtown SF

I'm mostly only half-joking.

4. That monstrosity is a friggin blight on the City skyline, not joking even a tiny bit

5. I'll not hear a word against the robot peen!

Yeah, it doesn't fit even slightly. I suppose we're all used to it now.

I do enjoy how vigorously everyone hates it.

Also, it gave us #justthetip

7. I'll be there June 11th-12th, plan to do my best to ignore its ignominious presence

Mostly by spending most of our time near GGP, the Haight, and Ocean Beach ... that makes it easy. Can't see it from there

10. Hey, they said that about the Eiffel Tower at one point.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. I knew the Eiffel Tower, and this, sir ...

Is no Eiffel Tower

13. I had this thought ...

They should consider converting empty office spaces to living space. Might not be as lucrative, but better than empty spaces.

2. It should be the opposite.

You could swing the vote by moving a few thousand liberals into South Dakota and Wyoming. Loading blue voters into blue states won't accomplish anything.

3. Yeah, but that would mean living in South Dakota or Wyoming.

I love living in the Greater Seattle area. Nothing would induce me to move to a culture wasteland like those places.

9. I live in Seattle. I don't find it cultural at all.

The music scene has vanished, the theatre scene is dying, and the coffee culture is gone. There are almost no local stores downtown. The city bus system has been replaced by Metro, then light rail,.and you can't get anywhere directly on a bus (remember the 25, the 66, the 73?) The quirky city I moved to (because of a relationship) has vanished, completely at the mercy of non-tax paying tech entrepreneurs. The dive bars are also vanishing, replaced by pricey gastro pubs. Historic buildings are being knocked down.

Almost every state has a livable college town or two. If I was young and starting out, a place like Grand Forks, ND might appeal to me. I was there at Christmas and it's a nice town with plenty to do.

Anyway, the larger point is that if you move all the liberals into already blue states, the problem will get worse.

14. Good point

Housing would probably be cheaper as well.

6. Did they say they will stop contributing to politicians who make the move necessary?

[NQAS]

8. Or maybe relocating their offices

Moving employees is fine. It’s also easy.

How about taking a more substantial stance and dedicate to moving their offices to states that don’t treat women as chattel.

Commit to that and I’ll be impressed.

11. On the one hand, that's good of them.

On the other, migration to cities in red states is how places like Virginia, Georgia, and Arizona turn blue.
