The minority of conservatives in progressive cities on the West Coast are cheaper to replace than the majority of liberals, though. It's how the market works.

lol you have a twisted view of capitalism if you think it's about abusing workers
How is any of this abusive? It's a scenario where a minority of workers in a geographic area decide they no longer agree with their employer, and voluntarily quit. The market implies it's cheaper to replace them, because they're few, than it is to replace many workers.
Because it's not true. There is a glut of closeted libertarians in silicon valley. You can't just say it's a geographical issue. Pushing workers out the door for their political and moral beliefs is definitely abusive in a supposedly "free" society.

America is definitely not that anymore. What a joke.
