I was born in and grew up in the Bay Area (now Silicon Valley). I was a professional recruiter for both software and hardware companies. Most of my clients wanted double PhD candidates who I found from all around the world. Absolutely lovely people who are incredibly intelligent. There seem to be a lot of conversation about California being “fruits and nuts” or blue. I can assure you the majority are NOT and are hard working Patriots. It is important for the wrong people to keep ahold of California claiming that it’s blue so nobody will question the outcome ANY election. 55 electoral college votes are handed over to the democrats since Regan. It is important that we not allow this to continue and people who continue the California rhetoric should really (if you are woke) help us get California back on track.
