And Microsoft isn’t? 

Monique, you are one of my favorite writers here, and I recognize from your writing that you are grieving through this too, but here comes the but.

Can you please not spread bourgeois propaganda? Is this the new direction your private equity overlords want you to go? Do you have any idea how expensive it is for workers to live in California? And Sacramento isn’t one of the expensive coastal blue counties of California, it’s one of the central valley red counties,…

amazing how a stranger’s odd hatred for the true hit king can make a person really want to honor the true hit king properly.
