      It’s amazing what people can turn into an insult.

      I live in a “flyover state”. What does that say about me?

      I mean, surely it means something, or you said it for no reason.

      Please, psychoanalyze me based on where I live.

        It means you live in an area with relatively low population, and therefore low national corporate presence, and happen to be between two regions with relatively high populations, leaving the only convenient means of travel between the densely populated regions to be air travel?

      Yes, and? You supposedly work in tech and should damn well know that place of residence has absolutely nothing to do with a persons value.

      Yet there you are…showing your bigoted ass to the entire world.

        Hmm never commented on your value as a person, just a conjecture/joke based on your apparent hate for the term flyover states.

        Also, do you think that phrase applied to any non-coastal state? Because it doesn’t, it applies to the boring ass states, like say Wyoming that has nothing interesting going on whatsoever and mostly comprised of small population towns.

        There are plenty of non-coastal states that are not considered flyover states, like Nevada.

          Billion Dollar Solar Projects, FAANG DCs popping up like mushrooms, world leading rare earth mineral discoveries, billion dollar wind farms, world first carbon sequestration projects, world class fly fishing, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park. Yup, you’ve got us figured out all right. There’s nothing going on here at all. 😆😆😆
