I live in TN, but on the Virginia border. My partner works in Virginia. So I found this comment on the linked post especially interesting:

‘…however, my wife left district 23 of NY to live with me in VA, and we can say my wife has had the job opportunities in VA that she would never have had in NY. She is a director, she moved up with no college degree. Try doing that in upstate New York without a college degree. I left MD for VA for a job in the high tech defense industry and R&D and I have never looked back…’

The tech industry is in Virginia because of the work of consecutive Democratic governors and legislators. Frequently over the opposition of Virginia Republicans. Bristol Virginia Utilities (where my wife works) has become a national leader in fiberoptics because of the investment of the state government under successive Democratic administrations in a local public utility.

I find it ironic that someone would be so gleeful about their career in an industry brought to Virginia by Democrats in the same breath as they gloat over the victory of a governor who may cut investment in their field.
