And regressive state politics and terrible culture and weather. Tech companies hiring in Texas is a negative signal.
- dev_dull 8y agoRegressive is in the eye of the beholder.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoEnabling employers to dictate the sexuality of their employees is nothing but regressive.
- sidlls 8y agoA state that thrives on the glorification of implements of violence, considers the health of women and sexuality to be subordinate to religious beliefs, and education a luxury is one I'd consider regressive. Others certainly disagree: I would not want to live in communities where their voice has any political power, and the feeling is probably mutual. So this negative signal is a win-win.
- someguydave 8y agoWhat does "regressive" even mean? The state doesn't interfere with private contracts?
- gamblor956 8y agoNo, it means that Texas only interferes in medical decisions, domestic decisions, childrearing, labor relations, and religion, and most other private aspects of your life. Pretty much anything that isn't regulated by a private contract, really.
- jessaustin 8y ago...regressive state politics... I didn't realize Texas had instituted soda and straw taxes.
- djohnston 8y agoAustin is a tech hub. We shouldn't paint the state in a single brush, and to say "terrible culture" is regressive and ignorant.
