Yep. I live in one of the "post salary or GTFO" states, and lead with that. Anyone who can't respond with a straight answer isn't worth dealing with and is told why.

The world is a backward place, but you're overthinking it.

I don't think this post is more than poignant politicking that is refreshing to see.
