      Isn’t Fannie Mae one of the companies that caused the housing crash of the 2000s?

      It comes down to **cost.** „Woke“ has nothing to do with it. There is a reason why they picked the 2nd cheapest Southern State (Alabama). Only Mississippi is cheaper.

      Are they going to change the name to „Auntie Mae“ in true Confederate fashion?

      Yup moving to a backwards shithole, where abortion is illegal, and the state tries to force religion down your throat and restrict your rights. Yup, this is definitely going to attract top tier talent.

      That’s ok. Greater Cascadia will establish its own fraud free mortgage GSE when the time comes; located in WA, OR or CA.

      How can they say that? “These people in California are too kind, polite, thoughtful, caring, and decent! We want to be around evil, hateful, resentful, ignorant bigots!”

      Fannie Mae is led by traitors, thieves, and pigs. Take care you don’t end up in bed with them.

      How are they „moving“ if the current employees don’t have to relocate? That just sounds like opening another office but with extra steps.

      Anyone still crying about wokeness can just fuck off. They threw away the country for not even a first world problem.

      They might as well step inside a time machine and live in the antebellum South. Hope they don’t mind mingling with the primitives.

      Difficult to do and not popular among really any political viewpoint but this is why having centralized control – ie not „muh states rights“ – is not only smart and efficient but arguably necessary.

      Because if 49 states say you can’t own slaves but one state says you can then all the slaves are gonna be imported to that one state.

      And where this gets really unpopular is we live in an international world, and the connections are obvious and unignorable. „Globalism“ as we have it now is exactly the opposite. That’s why only people – especially poor people – have to deal with the restrictions of national borders, but the wealthy people and most importantly the wealthy peoples criminal amounts of money can do whatever they want. We are bought and sold. What do you think stocks are?

      edit: and on some level this gets into the arguments about economic structures, like whether they should be „planned economies“ or left up to „the forces of the market“ but the thing is, it makes way more sense for a free market to be in control with sensible regulations… providing the reality hasn’t already been distorted to all fuck. Which is what we are dealing with the last few years. We have no government. We have a country of 365+ million ruled over by the top 10%. The rest of us are effectively slaves.

      If we all were starting from mostly equal places, and had mostly equal access to assistance? Sure, a free market with little regulations makes sense and would work. If some people are already at max level and the rest of us are starting from zero, then fuck that game. Which is basically what happened during my lifetime. 1990 – now. Everyone else was at max level, those born around 1990 or after are basically sacrificed to the god of the dollar. Except those lucky few who were saved by someone with money

      What a joke – Fannie Mae has a few hundred employees, max, in San Francisco.
      Their San Francisco offices are ln rented floors in a building near Salesforce Tower. The photo accompanying the article, showing a bldg with their logo and name on it, is in Virginia, not here. And the employees based in San Francis aren’t being terminated, rather they are being made remote workers.

      Like nearly everything else about the current administration, it’s yet another ginned up controversy to get their gullible base to think they are somehow „winning“ when it’s actually nothing other than them not renting a few flooes of an office building.

      Most of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in DC/Virginia – this is irrelevant. Also, they used to be public and traded between $30-60 per share but the GOP (Bush) pulled them into a quasi government status, which reduced them to penny stocks to use their revenue to hide a growing deficit. So much for GOP driving the free market.

      Moving from a state of makers to a state of takers.

      (I know, unkind)

      Imagine spending so much time demonizing treating other people with other beliefs, perspectives and needs with respect.

      Meanwhile, the rich stay rich and getting richer.

    25. decapitating_punch on

      boy, i can’t wait until the american taxpayers have to write another insanely sized check to Fannie Mae AGAIN to rectify ANOTHER of their fuckups.

    28. PlanetoftheAtheists on

      Don’t let our booming economy and educated workforce hit your ass on the way out.

    29. Ld862 on

      Well there’s a very good reason why no normal, private owned company would willingly locate itself in ala-fucking-bama.

    30. MajorMorelock on

      Fannie Mea also kicked Whoopi Goldberg out of their restaurant because they were sick of all that woke.

    31. QuestoPresto on

      They should move to that Nebraska town that is losing one in three jobs

    34. Hypeman747 on

      Great. Those towns will turn purple in the maps. There probably won’t have qualified people there so they either going to pay the people from
      Cali to move there or get more transplants.

      This has happened in Texas

    35. YoureProbablyAB0t on

      Every time they blame woke anything for whatever they do I have to wonder how honest they are with themselves.

      Like, they just sound so fucking stupid.

    36. RegionalTranzit on

      Per the article: „The Birmingham-Hoover metro area had a GDP of about $84.6 billion in 2023, compared with the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward metro area’s roughly $779 billion.“

    38. Living_Pie205 on

      Soooo…..they are claiming becasue it’s woke…..they should just admit it’s cheaper to operate in the south.

    40. samson_strength on

      Y’all think tokens was bad before?

      Wait till it’s an entire call center full of self hating tokens that are also angry at their oppressors.

      This shit is about to get fucking wild!

      Ain’t nobody finna get helped.

    42. Weekly-Anything7212 on

      Cool, let’s spend tens of millions of dollars to own the libs.

      It will take a generation to fix this Boomer mess.

    46. chasingjulian on

      Do people realize how stupid they sound when they describe something as woke and how woke is bad?
