Please no. We like our culture just fine:

I have a coworker with a house at the edge of a swamp. He likes to go out in his airboat and shoot alligators. He likes to set off explosions. I have another coworker, from San Francisco actually, who has sheep and can shoot his AR-15 in his yard. Trump has dropped by twice, at the MLB airport. The lines of adoring fans went for miles, and there were only about 5 protesters total. My workplace has a giant (maybe 15x7 foot) US flag in the cafeteria, and every year we hold a military-style flag folding ceremony. Everywhere you go, there are engineers who work for defense contractors. There is a stand-your-ground law, and our wonderful Sheriff Wayne Ivey has some great videos on youtube about the need for armed citizens prepared to shoot all kinds of bad people.

For those of you who aren't horrified, we're hiring for low-level hacker stuff... but the rest of you need to stay right where you are. You'd be unhappy, and you'd make us unhappy.



I've been trying to overcome my prejudices about Florida, and you're really not helping.
