How much would be needed to afford it? Is it a fundraisable amount?

Former employer worked a little with Funko and Disney, and it was pretty comparable. I don't see what Funko has to offer other than Licensing IP and strictly enforcing their own. Based on my (limited) experience, I doubt they chose thi

I'd be curious to see regret vs. would you make the same choice again. I can imagine parents nor regretting it, but maybe thinking about it twice if they had known what to expect.

Being "the village" for someone else's kid(s) can give a decent idea of what to expect. And by that I mean actually moving in and helping 24/7 for a months at a time, not just babysitting one evening here and there. Did

But they are among the most impressionable and it is effective to target the parents via kids nagging them.

So many comments just focus on DINK being selfish but there are good reasons to not have children and I agree there needs to be better incentives, and barriers removed too. Here are just a few reasons to not have children that may not have

Yeah, good point. I work in games, there's always an army of youngsters willing to put up with anything to break into the industry. I shouldn't be surprised... And I know only all too well employers will continue even at the point

This and... I remember when in France, the work week went from 39 to 35, that was 35h work week paid 39 - no pay cuts. Now I get that the economy/job market isn't like it was then, what with all the layoffs to protect shareholder

I agree with you, but for anyone reading this who considers immigration: that's just a third of the decision - another third of the problems is only visible once you live there a while, and the last third is the same problems you had b

Women's rights may be more of a problem with the economy than one thinks - pressure on those rights aren't necessarily just ideological. Zooming in on this one aspect within the bigger picture, at a country level you can shape the

Add to that in some cases, you might get in more "trouble" for not engaging in corruption. To use pier25's example again, someone who does't pay to skip the line might not get a turn if many others do and waste a bunch o

is with jump or without jump corruption? Depends if the money goes to the person asking or to the center. If the person is paid to let keep people in line, and keeps the money, it is corruption. If it goes to the center, it's probably

Are you sure the people you work with don't half ass everything because they lack skills and aren't getting proper training, or are trying to do too many tasks and fail at all of them as a result? I'm tempted to assume they b

That is why trial periods exist, with much more flexible firing/resigning terms.

by BehindBlueEyes 2y ago
also isn't that why trial periods exist? as in you have 3 month or so to change your mind after hiring someone/taking a job if it turns out to be a bad fit, for whatever reason, at either employer or employees initiative?

oh I see, thanks for clarifying. Comparable to e.g. downtown baristas who can't afford rent in the city they work in. Still mind boggling that even 70k is insufficient to afford housing. LCOL = low cost of living for anyone else who ma

Is 70k considered a starvation wage nowadays? I think I need to look up the definition because this seems far above minimum wage. Most people I know make under 40k per year and they aren't starving...

Wasn't there also research showing that when women's financial independence improved, divorce rates went up? I wish I could find that source again.

It seems logical that if either partner has to stop working for childcare, whichever partner earns the most keeps their job, unfortunately that just creates a feedback loop where gender gap means women are more likely to tale on child care,

I think this image hits the nail on the head. Only thing missing is that markets will only sell to you if you live within an hours commute so you may need to move having to a different city, leaving friends/family behind to even try if

Curious what you mean by father's gender penalty as the link you provide states "Men's wages are either unaffected or even increase after having a child." Doesn't sound like a penalty to me? also it assumes parents
