Gee, I thought these people were the ones who were like “If you don’t like it, you can just move to a blue state.”

And now they’re mad the guy is doing just that?

You can’t oppress and discriminate against someone then be mad when they take their highly useful skill elsewhere.

His point is basically that he’s going to go where he’s wanted. Guys like Brett realize, as he’s leaving that he’s actually beneficial to the society he’s leaving. If he wasn’t, Bret would be celebrating. This brain drain they’re fretting about is entirely of their own bigoted doing. If they’d thought about retaining great contributors to society instead of culture wars, there’d be no issue. 

And the guy still is doing his job, by the way. Saving sick kids.

He just wants to do it in a state that doesn’t hate him and his family.

One quiet day on the farm, the Little Red Hen found some wheat seeds and decided to make bread.

“Who will help me plant these seeds?” the Little Red Hen asked.

“I would.” said the Horse “But I’m a workhorse, and I’m too busy moving carts around.”

And so the Little Red Hen planted the seeds by herself. And they grew into bountiful golden crops.

“Who will help me harvest the wheat?” the Little Red Hen asked.

“I would.” said the Dog “But I’m a guarddog, and I’m too busy keeping away burglars and predators.”

And so the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat herself and made it into flour.

“Who will help me bake the flour?” the Little Red Hen asked.

“I would.” said the Pig “But I’m a mother of 5 newborn piglets, and I’m too busy taking care of my young.”

And so the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself into twenty beautiful loaves.

“Who will help me eat the bread?” the Little Red Hen asked.

“We would.” said the Farm Animals. “But we’re ashamed, for we didn’t do anything to make the bread.”

“Nonsense!” said the Little Red Hen. “You, Horse, helped move around the stones that built my oven. You, Dog, kept me safe while I worked. And you, Pig, are raising a new generation of Farm Animals, who will too contribute to our Farm one day. You’ve all helped me so much by simply being you.”

“Besides,” the Little Red Hen added. “I couldn’t possibly eat all the loaves on my own, most of them would go to waste. Come, eat with me.”

And so the Little Red Hen and the Farm Animals ate the bread together. And all saw their own, and each other’s, worth.

I’ll be telling this version to my child as he gets older.

Honestly the best and biggest compliment I’ve ever gotten on a piece of writing.

Thank you 🥲
