Were these the same people who told us the glaciers would be melted and the Maldives under water by 2000? How narcissistic do you have to be to believe the world is going to end in your little eye blink of a lifetime? Look, the West can go

There has to be plenty of demand at the lower tiers. There is a ton of work to do everywhere. It's just that they don't pay the same as top tier. FANGs are holding a lot of talent to keep them from competitors, as has been pointed

The Fed, creates magic money from thin air then lends it to the government at interest to sell as T bills. Guess who is on the hook for the interest? The US taxpayer. The Fed is owned by its member banks which are for-profit corporations.
