The US didn't fake the moon landings, the American politicians faked that it was about anything but beating the USSR. They supported it and sold it as a research project to further humankind, as dipping our toes in the cosmic ocean. Th

The cost of firing the dev was whatever he could claim in a wrongful termination suit. Which is, what, millions of dollars? The benefit of firing him is that you appease the devs of the future who demand that their company take a stand on d

Many good suggestions in this thread, but I would suggest looking into cities in the 100 000 - 150 000 range with a good university nearby if you want to try something different from living with millions of people. I moved from my million p
