&gt;&quot;I&#x27;ve had people tell me, &#x27;If I found out that this person&#x27;s a Republican, their resume&#x27;s off the list.&#x27;&quot;<p>But of course, nobody&#x27;s going to hue-and-cry or place travel bans to California until they pass legislation to prevent political discrimination. Tim Cook isn&#x27;t about to issue a statement condemning this discriminatory practice that affects <i>livelihoods</i> rather than just purchasing options.<p>Because what&#x27;s euphemized as &quot;tolerance&quot; these days is really just &quot;picking the right targets.&quot;

Its probably not a good practice but I assume every tech-minded 20-something male is a libertarian until told otherwise. Especially if they are working in SV.
