Do you have any data to back that up that you can share? I don't mean to call you out, it could very well be the case, people date in rather not-understandable ways to me. What you're saying does not match my experience though. Qu

For almost everyone 18-40 year old, driving less is one of the healthiest decisions you can make. A little nitpick: Motorcycling, cycling, and walking are all significantly worse than traveling by car. If this interests you, it's possi

While the times are definitely changing, a lot of people are still very averse to finding a new workplace. This means that even at a 1% raise per year, some people will stick around for decades. One of the best developers at one of the comp
