The offices are usually based in the areas where the founders live. The founders typically live in expensive locations because that’s where the funding is. You’re setting yourself up to be a second class citizen from the get go unless the founders move. You may as well just ask for people founding businesses to be remote first to begin with. That’s an easier ask than asking people who are founding businesses to setup remote offices and treat those people nicely. I’ve never seen it done. I haven’t experienced any politics being shoved down my throat. But, idk, I am accepting of people and somewhat tolerant of others beliefs (white supremacy isn’t one I am tolerant of though...). So, there is that.

Do you support the All Lives Matter movement? Frankly, so much is thrown into the "white supremacy" tent these days, the fact that you mention that outs you as an intolerant leftist.

  It’s a strawman argument. All lives matter isn’t a movement - it’s divisive rhetoric used to disenfranchise black lives. What has come out of the all lives matter movement? Are all people suddenly going to be lifted out of poverty from it? Are there any specific goals of the all lives matter “movement”? Nope. There aren’t. It’s rhetoric and you’re playing into the game of a politician... but ok. Think you’re smart and that I’m intolerant or something - I’m sure that works well for you. Ain’t no one showing up to AIDs walks or walks for the cure and saying, “but you know, all viruses/cures matter, guys. Let’s walk for all.”

    "All Lives Matter" is not divisive, it's superlatively inclusive. People who say that, myself included, are opposed to unjustified killings by the police regardless of the victim's race. If you think that being opposed to the police using unnecessary force against Hispanics, whites or Asians means I've "disenfranchised blacks", that's just more evidence of your intolerance.

> But, idk, I am accepting of people and somewhat tolerant of others beliefs (white supremacy isn’t one I am tolerant of though...). So, there is that. If I told you I was not in favor of BLM because the founders were caught embezzling funds or pushing Marxist propaganda, would that make me a white supremacist? I do believe there is a problem with cops shooting people in the states, but I'm also not a fan of that movement being co-opted for political gain. Which is why I support the message but not the specific organization.
