Eastern Tennessee is beautiful

Memphis is hell but you know.

It’s best place in the country for shipping. Easy access everywhere

Yes....

I’ve loved some of the areas around Nashville — Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville. All very white and a much higher quality of life than most

Amazon is building a fulfillment center near Spokane. I hate what they do as a corporation but I'm excited for the faster shipping.

@Alexander Pechorin ping me or dm me once you get get full member status, I'll get you into the VA regional server.

We’ve had a bunch of former Amazon employees apply for jobs. They all hated it.

but not before 👀

I’m sure their work culture is terrible

I’ve heard the pay is bad and they’re treated pretty poorly too

Nova is getting Amazon HQ2!

@Jacob I live in a 65% black area and I can assure you there’s absolutely nothing good about diversity

Yeah, it’s bad dude, but I really think it’s easier to hack than living around people for 20090999 different countries.

I also lived in Houston TX which is the most diverse city in the US and it’s a shithole in the public sphere. Only good coming from it is commercialism and oil money from saudis

@Alexander Pechorin That's what I told my mom. She thinks it's really cool if I work for Amazon some day.

After all, a white/black split is less diverse than whatever manhattan is.

@Gumbo - AZ That's *less* diverse than the alternative I'm describing

ya I know diversity sucks

Then how could it be any better

Of course it depends on the role @Jacob, but working in their shipping dept seems rough... We pay slightly more and you’re managing way less packages a day than at Amazon.

@Gumbo - AZ It's better because it's less diverse

2 ethnic groups vs 40 billion ethnic groups

@Alexander Pechorin oh no she wants me to work for Amazon when I graduate with my computer science degree, it has nothing to do with the fulfillment center

Houston TX has more demographic representation than any other city in America. That’s all types. It’s shit.

It’s our São Paulo

well ya that's what we're saying @Gumbo - AZ

Sure, that sounds miserable. This was more about the white/black split though.

So what’s the argument? We all doubt because it’s true

@Jacob that is probably a better option. Still, there will be better opportunities with your background than being an Amazon code monkey.

If you dislike amazon, stop patronizing them.

The argument was just. If you had to choose between Houston and a town that was just black/white, the second is better.

I know it's not easy, but you can get comparable prices elsewhere

I don't want to work for Google, Amazon, Facebook, any of them

@Papa Pizzagate lots of books I haven’t found anywhere else

We cut Facebook ads because of that. Took a huge hit, but save a ton of money and it forces us to find better channels

No more paying the evil empir

@Papa Pizzagate eh, I don't know if the other corporations are any more moral

Instagram has a higher click-through rate anyway

I just bought a car stereo from Crutchfields instead of amazon, $2 more, but they have much better service, included a wiring harness with the product.

valid points, both.
