The reality of that there is a new president in town is starting cause Twitter melt-downs from liberal social-media executives.
I guess Sioux Falls, which is very middle-american is a failure to her with it's 1.9% unemployment rate and 4.1% job growth rate.
She should go to Sioux Falls and go on her rant there about jobs not coming back. I would love to see her stand on a platform and go on a jobs rant in downtown Sioux Falls about jobs not coming back. Only 6,300 jobs produced in one year there.
While I love all the Silicon Valley innovation and entertainment that Silicon Valley based companies provided me, I will say the most progressive towns tend to be in middle-America.
Progressive to me is first-rate health-care, upward mobility low-cost of living and a very low unemployment rate.
I went on the companies website but after exploring I don't even know what the company does or if it makes money.
I assume she hasn't been to affluent middle-american cities like Bismarck, Sioux Falls, Omaha or Rochester, Minnesota that have an extremely, extremely high quality of life.
Wonder if she realizes that areas with the lowest unemployment rates, highest rates of home ownership, income equality and lowest housing burdens as a percentage of income are middle-America towns.
I have been in some towns like Kearney, Nebraska that are as progressive as anything I have seen in California.
I agree that there are some really awful Midwestern places but they are mainly run by Democrats, which is the part of Silicon Valley.
You might want to sign off the internet and trash your smart phone to boycott Silicon Valley.
I love Silicon Valley innovation and I thank Silicon Valley companies for having a direct positive impact on my quality of life.
Silicon Valley is an innovation machine and Sioux Falls is a jobs and quality of life machine.
Luckily, for Americans we can enjoy silicon valley innovation without the hassle and extremely low quality of life for non-elites in the state that the technology comes from.
I love thanks to innovation from Silicon Valley that one can have all the luxuries and products in places like Sioux Falls and Kearney, Nebraska that California can not touch as far as quality of life for middle-class, hard working Americans.
$15/hr in South Dakota equals 100,000 a year in Silicon Valley with the no state income tax, much lower sales taxes and extremely low health care costs and very good quality health-care.

I'm still holding out hope for #CalExit. We will give you a good deal on the water.
Dumb, violent, racist, sounds exactly like every urban center in the US. Of course those elitist ivory tower liberals don't notice it behind the walls of their gated communities or secure condos, protected by deplorables.

What you don't realize is that this social justice nonsense, largely agitated by silicon valley no-accomplishment plebs like this woman, as well as affirmative action hires and professional victims like Ellen Pao, is an animal of this very specific point in time wherein true technological globalism has not quite taken off yet.
They aren't aware that the force of the money is going to wipe out their idealism as soon as it is necessary to do so. Silicon Valley's engine is unadulterated profit.
What they don't realize is that they are attempting to dictate social culture, which can only act as a non-competitive speed-bump that reduces profit, over the most cut throat, fast moving industry in the world and, eventually, the money is going to route them all out of their social justice safe zone by competitive necessity.
Why?
Because, accept it or not, culture is not the primarily draw of talent to the area. Money is, as well as the weather and topography of the area.
When profits eventually begin to shrink with increased competitive global competition, alienating better talent with an oppressive SJW culture is going to be a non-starter. And it's going to be routed for the sake of remaining competitive. Just wait.
This woman rebuking middle America is a perfect expression of the problem that the area has going forward, and the one that will continue to grow in importance.
Don't think that these tech companies can't change the culture of the area. There is no one better suited to such a task, anywhere in the world. No old world propaganda effort can match what they have the potential to do.

Did you actually read what you linked to? She never said the Midwest, she said "middle America". Middle America is not a geographical place it is a demographic. She was talking exactly about what Sioux Falls has done as an example of how to move America forward.
