What is false?
I didn't make any claims other than saying that in my circles I see some of my friends and colleagues have trouble making it by on $70k. I'm not sure how you would be able to tell me that I'm wrong about that. I'm happy that you are able to make it on $70k, though.

I'm not sure how you would be able to tell me that I'm wrong about that. Okay, then let's make this rigorous. Falsifiable Claim: People live a life of struggle on 70k a year in new york, where struggle is defined by constant worries of physiological needs, safety, and security, as categorized in Manslow's hierarchy of needs. https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html Falsified by counterexample. QED. For a lot of people, they may mean 'struggle' in the sense of living below where they want to be, which is relative. Maslow's hierarchy is helpful to categorize.
- ziddoap 2y agoThis might be the most "hackernews" comments I've seen in awhile. Can we maybe just have a normal conversation without trying to flex our superior debating skills? I was curious how many people that make the median wage in NYC are living comfortably solo -- that's it! You're making up claims, disconnected from my comments, and then falsifying them yourself in some sort of weird self-debating comment.
