Agreed. This feels a lot like a submarine article. For people in the US, it would be way easier to just relocate from SV to middle America. Or even just to other parts of California.
New Zealand does look absolutely stunning, though.

- mattnewton 10y agoHow is that hiding from American politics?
- hamandcheese 10y agoEasy: don't watch the news.
- tonmoy 10y agoWhen they won't let me come in the US at the border after visiting a different country, not watching the new will be very helpful indeed
- hamandcheese 10y agoGP said relocate to middle America.
- sampo 10y agoEven if you relocate to Colorado, Kansas, whatever, one occasionally needs to travel to other countries, no?
- clarkm 10y agoMost Americans don't have a passport and have never left the country.
- sampo 10y agoAnd this applies to American Silicon Valley programmers, too?
- self-diversity 10y agoSure. Many of us don't have any need to leave America at all.
- tonmoy 10y agoBut some do. So the reply to the GGG...P stands.
- hamandcheese 10y agoBy that same token, though, any American who travels abroad can't truly isolate themselves anywhere if they hope to return without the aforementioned fears of being barred from reentry.
- Arizhel 10y agoYeah, and you don't need to even leave your city, or do anything besides go home, go to work, and go to the grocery store and a few other places like the doctor. Doesn't sound like much of a life to me. What's the point of making 6 figures in a hard profession if you're going to live like a miser?
- mattnewton 10y agoThat isn't working for me. Neighbors down the street afraid of ICE raids after the last one hit our city, all anyone wants to talk about is WWIII brewing in Syria.
- anigbrowl 10y agoFoolish people think politics is something that happens on television or to other people. That can change very quickly and politics begins to show up at the doors and windows.
- nebabyte 10y agoYou're still subject to the laws that get passed. How 'bout that ISP spying, and those latest pushes against net neutrality. (But okay, at least you have cheap - for the US - rent) I'd love to get locked in to that as a small business. > Easy: don't watch the news. "The news" is not just followed as an emotional stimulant; your life in relation to "the news" does not begin and end with the television or computer screen. It's a harbinger of law and policy to come.
- antod 10y ago> This feels a lot like a submarine article How is it a submarine article? The people and agencies involved in the campaign are upfront and explicit in what their roles and goals are. It isn't one of those "the suit is back" articles.
