43. If you're thinking about applying for work in a blue state

Tue Nov 10, 2020, 10:27 AM

Nov 2020

keep in mind that there are large red areas in just about every blue state in the country, so make sure to research the towns where you're applying to make sure they haven't been infiltrated with Trumpsters. Having said that, the red areas in blue states will most likely be nothing like what you're experiencing where you are now.
