    I’m posting this in my underwear while getting paid. I know I have priviliege.

    But so do the folks in the article:

    When they’re not at camp, she says, the kids stay home with her while she works remotely.

      But so do the folks in the article (also have privilege):

      And that is relevant to my comment how?

        Because you said I was privileged because I could work from home, but the woman in the article works from home. Why couldn’t she do that in Spokane?

          Do you realize how hard you deflect or is your normal MO just a constant red herring fishing expedition?

          I’m going to break this down in summary for the audience, then I’m disengaging to preserve my mental health.

          You: these people just want to live in Portland because it’s fun. They should move. Jobs are everywhere. I work from home.

          Me: that’s an awfully privileged thing to say (as in, jobs aren’t everywhere for everyone and not everyone can work from home, including the electrician husband in the article).

          You: The woman in the article is privileged too.

          Me: what does that matter?

          You: she could work from home like me.

          Like any of that has any bearing on anything. You’re just stretching hard to justify being judgmental and are cranking out bad faith arguments to support that.
