I feel like one thing that is often not said enough is that solving housing solves a lot of things for fucking everyone. When everyone isn’t dying to rent or get a house, then you get more sane prices and inventory everywhere. This literall

Landlords despise tenant protection laws. They’d rather just treat the place as an investment than deal with tenants that have rights.

Ok I feel you, what if I own a sports team and promise promise promise that that stadium you are going to pay for is going to improve the community? Is that enough proof? How about an Amazon warehouse? But yeah, to your point, building more

Sure, no I get it. I suppose it’s worth clarifying that the biological addiction to the substance is actually a side effect of the original issue (you’re running from discomfort). Which goes back to the original post, in that, you really ca

Substances are also an escape, you just don’t want to feel (or escape) whatever the negative feeling is (guilt, anger, depression, stress, hopelessness, so on).

Giving up on something is not the same as quitting. Just stick around, what else are you going to do?

Taxes are kind of understated. Even if you take an average tech salary in a major city, taxes and rent just eat a large portion of it. Then it takes a deliberate attempt to not spend what’s left to make any forward progress towards a mortga

At no point. You’ll only hear the opposite from a small cohort that can hop around faangs. There’s plenty of people working in all kinds of industries that overall suck for humanity.

No the streaming api is always 2% ish of all live tweets. Wish Twitter would share more info on this stuff.

I’m just glad I’m not the only one baffled here. It takes 4 missed mortgage payments to start going into a default and we’re talking a 30-year time line for things to go sideways. Yellow cab medallion drivers literally committed suicide aft

This argument is a losing battle, so I’ll leave it alone. I just know it wasn’t a Doctor walking in looking for a medical office. Don’t ask me how I know, sometimes you just know. There’s a vape store around my way that sells weed, and othe

Mostly because they lack design conviction. When Apple moved off skeuomorphism into the flat realm (in a sense copying a lot of Microsoft’s Metro design), they really believed in it. Microsoft is without a doubt having an existentialist cri

Oh boy. We need an open protocol for social media already. It’s obvious the current platforms are too subjective and these idiots have become like mainstream news networks where they remove content based on how advertisers feel about their

Isn’t that where remote work kicks in but we’re too stupid to realize? If the tech people don’t need to concentrate in one area, good luck jacking up the prices to siphon off that wealth. Tech needs to create a box. Literally, a hurricane p

Again, it’s how you see it. They brought jobs at mass scale there. We on the other hand, ship jobs out at mass scale, AND squeeze the people that are here. You can’t get away with both.

Does it even need to be studied that heavily? What is India and China trying to do? They have massive billion people populations that are poor. Lift them into a lower middle class, voila, you have unmatched consuming class. We’re going to l

I think your advice is correct for those that want kids. The issue becomes contentious when this is advocated to people who mostly are on the other side of that decision. Going for kids before you are ready is still aligned with ‘wanting ki

It’s shocking to me how Russia’s primary mode of bombardment isn’t aerial. Are they holding back or they legitimately trying to use dumb bombs to eradicate civilian cities? There’s no no-fly zone, you can do the same atrocities from air and

The same reason they loan out the money in the first place. Do they ever actually check if a young person will have the earning potential to pay back a 50k loan? Not really right, but they hand out that loan. I’ve gotten credit cards with 2

So I’ve heard but for the thing that really matters, renting and certainly buying a home, you are more or less fucked (at least for the 7 years they put you in financial jail).
