So your rich life became a little richer? To contrast that, I have been wanting to move to San Francisco since a little kid and can't and most likely won't make that possibility. I am greatly excited for people like you, who clearly don't care where they live and care about crap like family values and property, to leave so this place so it can become liveable again.

I'm not sure what you mean? When you say 'family values', can you be more specific?

I thought about down voting this, but I want to ask you...why the hate, or it seems like it? The OP has a well paying job and a skill set that allows him/her to make this choice. They are placing their family above status of living here which seems like a reasonable thing. I do not understand what I see as hate in your comment? I also hit the tech lotto, have a nice house, etc. and am planing to leave. I worked my ass off for 20 years (with the last 10 being 50+ hour weeks, 150K+ miles per year travel, 2 weeks a month not with my family) to have the opportunity to play in that lotto. Does that make me someone to hate?

  It is kind of a product of a society when jobs no longer involve skill. I can say the same thing (12 years with similar hours. I imagine I am younger than you) but I don't have anything monetary gain and absolutely no work experience to show for it. No family and spent most of those years working out of a car. I am currently about to be evicted and have made most of my money flipping things and working service jobs and I will never pay off my student loans (which was promised to paid by backstabbing parents) because I spent 15 years as a professional application applier only to never get a job. I will most likely never have a family because of this. I am 35 and haven't really started any life that is worth calling a life. I am just a slave to the system and shitty people in my life. But please do tell me rich person that I should smile and be happy.

    I'm sorry that your life has turned out the way it has. I'm probably not smarter than you. I probably didn't work harder than you. I probably didn't make better decisions than you. I fully admit to and embrace the fact that most of my blessed life has come as a matter of fortune and good luck.

      And this comment proves a lack of confidence by apologizing to a random person, thus demonstrating that confidence also doesn't matter in this modern world.

        I do not see any apology in the GP's comment. What are you talking about?

        "I'm sorry that your life..." It appears people just don't pay attention and need it showed to them which is pointless on my end because you are just going to downvote it

    Why do you think that jobs no longer require skill? Most startup interviews are 100% based on merit. I have worked at 2 startups where we have people writing code that never finished a CS degree and they where some of the most valuable members of the team. I am not telling you to smile and be happy. I was just trying to understand your thoughts in your comment. At one point in my life my wife and I had our cars repossessed and were a month from being on the street. I had a job for 9 months where I drove 300 miles a day to get to because we lived so far away (with family) and it was the job I could get that paid the bills for my family. We all do what we have to do. The world is not fair.

  You're a better person than I am. Thank you for setting a good example.

    See now this is a rich person insult. But Dang probably won't do anything about this. What a passive aggressive coward
  - NewOrderNow 6y ago
    Maybe you should learn to communicate directly to someone instead of being a coward? This isn't an insult according to the definition: a person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things You clearly just proved that by attempting to talk to someone on a public platform about me instead of to me. So, why are you a coward?

> don't care where they live and care about crap like family values and property, to leave so this place so it can become liveable again. GP very clearly does care about where they live; it's just that that location, the result of 'crap like family values and property', is different to where you want to live. That's OK!

  It's okay for the person who has the money and privilege to do so. Not for those who can't. So your response just makes seem even more apparent that it is digital and physical imperialism

    I really don't follow. It's OK for the other commenter to want to live in Washington state; it's OK for you to want to live in Silicon Valley; it's OK for me not to want to live in the USA. We each care about where we live, and we each have different preferences: that's OK.

      Legally sure. But is it right to siphon money out of a state and then take somewhere else? I know plenty of foreign families that take money out of America or back into the hands of their home country. Banks gave loans out for the great scam known as college, putting money into the hands of bank and less cycling through the economy.

        @Dralley that is somewhat the problem that I brought up. Nothing ironic about this whatsoever, but want to elaborate on why you think so. How, in any way, is this ironic? It certainly does take a certain kind of sociopath to take time to look up another individual. I guess this is what you do with your time, when you fuck off on the internet for the 4 out of the 8 hours you work.
