I don't think you realize how cheap rural areas are. For instance, I grew up in a small town in Missouri and you can buy a house there for less than $20,000[0]. It needs a lot of work but still. Compensation does need to be greatly inc

The answer is not UBI, if you want to give people more money, stop having the government take it. The government is only good at 3 things, killing people, locking people in cages, and wasting money. People with needs they can't take ca

Owning a property is generally a better financial move because it locks down what is usually your largest monthly expense and then after some years, its paid for. This really becomes a bigger issue when you want to retire. Think how much le

I think it depends on what your goals for the startup are. If you want to bootstrap it and keep the company smaller, charge. It will keep your growth rate more manageable. If you want to get VC money, go for the users.

New grad doesn't discriminate by age, it discriminates by experience which is very common on almost every job ad. for example, I didn't graduate until I was almost 30, but I got hired on for a new grad position.
