Do you think Sheriffs carry rhetorical guns, or do you not realize that they enforce evictions?

  I think the set of possible things is not limited to these two things you have arbitrarily presented for some reason. For instance, one of the infite things which are neither of those things, is that there are no evictions or sherrifs or guns that play any part in a software developer's housing arrangements, because they simply moved long before it gets to that point. There are people who get themselves into that position, but they are surely not the kind of smart lawyer coders who make valid arguments on HN right? If you're here, trying to argue something at all, then one presumes you think you're generally on top of things and not an idiot, right? Well, then does a smart rational person just sit there in a place they can't afford for the weeks or months it takes before serriffs come, and do so at gunpoint? You do realize they don't just start with that right? That there are many letters and notices, and mere pieces of paper over the course of several weeks to months before LE comes, and even when they do they don't actually point guns at you unless you barricade yourself in and resist or something. You can't invoke a STUPID hyperbolic image like that and at the same time lay any claim to have any sort of valid point to argue, considering this whole thread is about taking high paid developer jobs which they don't give out to idiots. But they do give them out to people who seem to think everyone else are idiots that don't know self serving hyperbole when they see it, and are such huge fragile babies they can not under any circumstances tolerate having this pointed out.
