To say you can't find anyone is a very generic statement. Hell, for all we know your company is cheap as dirt in compensation. Your company's reputation may be well known as being crap. You may be in a very niche position for which regardless, its difficult to find talent. TRY AGAIN!

It happens...my husband was recruited to work for a large company in Nevada several years ago. They couldn't fill the position locally so they hired a headhunter who found my husband, they gave him an offer he couldn't refuse so we relocated to Nevada. Several companies in Northern Nevada have had to form partnerships with local community colleges because they can't find employees who can do basic math.

Wow. Just wow. Maybe you should spend more time on trying to be a Christ follower instead of spewing such drivel.

Lol. Sure. Top consulting firms are known to be cheap as crap when it comes to pay.

Ohhhhh...so that's where this is all coming from?

Makes total sense now.

What if there was never a "Christ" ? What if "he" was simply a Babylonian or Egyptian god (Tammuz) that was re-made into the man you "follow" today for institutional purposes?

And, if there was a Christ -- and we are to believe what your Bible says about him -- then he was sure as hell no conservative either, and most likely a gay male who cavorted with prostitutes and other social misfits of the time.

And, that's me being theologically generous (putting my agnosticism to the side) and admitting he may have actually existed.

You're clinging to Republicanism as an appendage of religion makes more sense now.

Most WASPs aren't religious. The few who are, are members of Old Line denominations such as Presbyterianism or they're Episcopalians. Church attendance, if it happens, is more of a social/cultural function. You definitely won't find WASPs in large, gauche, evangelical mega-churches, to be sure!

My mother was Episcopalian, from a WASP family that traces back to Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and then back to the Mayflower on one side, and William of Orange on the other.

Dad is a cradle Catholic, Spanish-Mexican descent, from an original California family.

To bring this back on topic, perhaps it would be interesting to ponder how wasps, as so many other insects, survive in only modest numbers in California compared to other states ... although I do recall quite a vicious colony of ground wasps attacking my dog (and me!) in SF’s Presidio not too many years back when we stumbled upon them as we tramped through some underbrush .... so some DO in fact have real estate and stay rather than droving to Arizona.

It could be they have been commanded by their lord to challenge the librul heathens who dance naked in San Francisco’s parklands, I suppose. But just as likely they simply like it where they are?

Anyway, that’s my shot at relevancy tying religion and stinging insects to the direction of coastal California ‘exodus’.

People have been foreseeing California going downhill for decades. It hasn't happened yet, despite how hard they wish it would.

But they will never find their Shangri La because the old saying that "if you're not happy here, you won't be happy there" is still true.
