@JustRaging01@sky_and_sunshin A friend left Cisco in NC recently and he said that over the years he worked there, all the Americans were replaced with Indians. This isn’t because they were better suited to those jobs.
@Oilfield_Rando Correct. You have to talk to your kids. I know many friends who didn’t think they should discuss politics with their children and honestly it’s too late.
@applian87928334@MSDavisinMO@EricSpracklen True. Our entire town and adjacent towns are full of transplants from California and the north. They obliterated the affordable housing in our area.
It’s hilarious to hear them complain about the traffic and blame locals when there are only a handful of locals left.
@ScooterScottUSA@EricSpracklen I like this idea. We only found out after moving into our rental home (this was before we bought elsewhere) that many neighborhoods in Morrisville, Apex, Cary, etc are owned by foreign “investors.” They charge exorbitantly but they do the bare minimum as landlords.
The reason our prices are ridiculous in Holly Springs, NC and surrounding towns is because of the mass exodus from California and the north. There are less than a handful of locals left here. But sellers know that transplants will pay 20-30% above what the value is. And they do. It’s wild.
@EricSpracklen Transplants keep paying the price to displace locals in our area. Hugely inflated prices. It’s something to behold. I’d expect a lifetime supply of groceries if I paid what these new neighbors are paying.
Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.
Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.
A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.
