Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

A technocratic elite, huh. Kinda hilarious, that. Yeah, I'm in rural Alabama. I'm surrounded on three sides by cotton fields, and the stop sign down the road has bullet holes in it.

I can drive about 20 minutes and suddenly be surrounded by research parks for cutting-edge aerospace, defense, medical and computing technology companies.

Bob's definition of "relevant" industries is fairly bizarre, innit?

But does it lead to Mario-themed Disneyland rides for fat footless fucks?

Does Moviebob actually have a leg amputated because of diabetes? Where does that come from?

 

[Red Hood]

California's economy is so good it's been hemhoraging businesses and having people both left and right fleeing for less tax-happy climates. California has farming, tech, and a movie industry that's being relocated to Atlanta and Toronto because CALIFORNIA IS FUCKING EXPENSIVE for a standard of living no different from those places.

I can verify from my own lived experience (never thought I'd use that phrase) that Bob is just vomiting horseshit.

Best I can tell Bobs idea of relevant industry consists solely of the entertainment industry. Everything else is irrelevant and obsolete in Bob land.

The only thing that Cali has that I would want on the east coast is In N Out Burger.

We already have enough of our own problems with corrupt politicians and homeless epidemics.

Didn't Bob once say coal was obsolete? He is not a smart man.

True, that would be nice. On the flip side, though, we do have Bojangles here. It's a fair trade.

He did and it crawled off and metamorphosed into Tony Goldmark.

I think bob once said farming is obsolete. At the very least I know he doesn't like farming or farmers. So no Bob is absolutely not a smart man.

Bob thinks farming is obsolete. He is very much not a smart man.

Bob is pro-farming, provided it's done on the moon or in those expensive looking hydroponic mega-farms.

Bob's okay with farming but he thinks man-powered farms are obsolete. The Lunar Wheat farms will be run by AIs.

 

[A Big Bumbling Black Man]

Bob is a living embodiment of that joke where the Blonde woman says we don't need hunters because all the meat comes from the grocery store.

 

[Judge Dredd]

The Lunar Wheat farms will be run by AIs.

I think that's the main motivation. Bob doesn't want some toothless country bumpkin who might have voted for Trump growing his food. He wants it to be shiny robots or smart people in lab coats.

Ah yes, I had forgot about farming wheat on the moon. I kinda want to sit down and write out a story that details a day in Bobs world.

I think that's the main motivation. Bob doesn't want some toothless country bumpkin who might have voted for Trump growing his food. He wants it to be shiny robots or smart people in lab coats.

This is why I thought he hates farmers. He sees all family owned farms, and really anything that requires muscle and stamina (two of many things bob lacks) to be done exclusively by toothless brain dead mutants. Who only come out of their hovels long enough to beat up nerds and brown people.

Bob bitches about hunters because they're "cruel" but happily scarfs down Big Macs made from genetically-tortured cows packed into tiny enclosures.

Nah, he does sperg proudly (hypocritically, because he despite his deploring of borders and geographical allegiances loves talking up how Boston is) about various tech sectors like Boston Dynamics, because he apparently doesn't realize robotics engineers need to eat, too.

Hilariously, California even managed to regulate the porn industry out of business. This was intentional. The state imposed so many "health and safety" rules that the effect of them was to make the porn unwatchable. I don't mean regular HIV or hepatitis tests; I don't even mean condoms were required (though they were). I mean they required dental dams for any act of female oral sex, and any scene where bodily fluids were exchanged required the use of goggles. Of course the porn industry that thrived for so long in the Valley has pretty much dried up (forgive the pun), and moved ... all the way to Las Vegas.

This fact has actually managed to single-handedly change how I view the electoral college. I used to agree with Bob that it was bad thing that it gave more weight to voters in certain states than in others. Then I saw Bob, the living embodiment of the smug "food comes from the grocery store!" city slicker stereotype, with thousands of followers who apparently agree with his ignorant, dimwitted views. Now I understand why it would be such a complete disaster if the big urban centers completely controlled politics. So ironically Bob can change peoples' political views! Just not in any way he actually wants to.

I've probably said this elsewhere in this thread (Bob is nothing if not repetitive, and so the critiques of him become equally repetitive until he makes some fabulous new gaffe like "autism blackface"), but one of the reasons that Bob and similarly shallow thinkers with no grasp of history or how republics function are so assblasted about 2016 is that, in at least one respect, the Electoral College performed precisely as it was designed to do: it prevented a regional Presidency.

Bob is the living embodiment of a fat idiot who acts like the smartest person in the room just because he's being a jackass to other's opinions.
