Careful, you're using "Starving" in that instance as hyperbole. Losing your benefits and starving are two very different things. In the US we have a government safety net, and a private safety net. If someone falls out of the

DC Metro is still crushed under the weight of their (~10,000 person strong) staff. DC Metro, while having an annual total ridership of 115 million less than the Philadelphia system (330.1 million vs. 215.3 million trips), has a personnel co

In the US, public transit can't make major changes, in big part, because they're very beholden to the unions. Here in the Philadelphia metro, tickets for the train are sold by SEPTA ushers (cash only) who walk up and down the aisl

Gotcha, here in the US most people will take off that week, but no business would ever shut down entirely for a week. You'd piss off all of your customers and associates. (Which is why American workers hate dealing with ones in the EU

That's not to program for D-wave. They just need software developers in-house for their tooling.
