Not just Sad but also self-imposed. If outside investors and outside countries were buying up all our jeans, cars, tvs and junk foods, we'd be celebrating it all day long. in fact, we even blame other countries for not buying enough

I don't understand, why can't we simply build more cities? If people are so willing to pay for it, I'm sure there's people who want the jobs. It just seems like such a waste of opportunity

Well, you need to just appear to not be sick and they'll accept you as a ride: don't barf allover the place as you get in, wait until the trip has started. After that, they have every incentive to deliver you to the hospital. Sur

And an app to verify that all doctors, nurses and equipment used in a procedure are all part of your in-network. Going out of network is so devastating, you could loose your entire life savings.

Yup, they're real basterd. I'd give them a middle finger every time I see one, but it's not the driver/nurses who deserves the blame. This is where regulation can play a good role. We really need to stop these predator

Truer words have never been spoken: "Forget Bribery. The Real Scam Is Pretending That Degrees Have Value". I particularly like their solution: Increase enrollment to point of where it inflates away their value. The intrinsic valu

Sure, if you're young and single and saving aggressively, you can still come out ahead in SF. But Even at half or 1/3 the salary, you'd still come out ahead in many areas across the country, if you have a family of 4. In SF,

i dont know why this is being downvoted. There's no reason for every company in the world to pile down into one city where the locals don't even want the growth. I guess it's not commonly known but SF by population count is

This. It's not a choice. 99% MUST move somewhere or STAY somewhere because of a job. Without a job, most people can't live.

You're right as far as blue cities/states go. But Some other cities (some red ones and some blues that are less liberals) don't stop housing from being built as much. The less rules and regulations and zoning, the more supp

Austin is just as good 9 months out of the year, I hear. Albuquerque NM, is every bit as good (i'm told) as the bay area, with 8 times cheaper housing. there are many more examples you can find in the US that have nearly as good weath

People desperately want to escape CA but have no choice because that's where the jobs are. Jobs are there because companies are there. Companies are there because it's not their problem and they don't pay the full cost of t

Cant you just use one of those services that'll sell your home for a flat fee? then you don't need to pay the buyers agent, right?

i have to disagree with the article. i have no doubt there will be great automation coming to this field. But, how many companies do you think will be able to adopt any of it? The majority of companies have huge messy stacks of data with

Most of us bay area folks fantasize about leaving this place. But, it's hard to get out of here. all our friends and family are here, not to mention our jobs. if it wasn't for that, I'd bet people would be leaving in drove

Also, medical schools limit the number of seats available to prevent an oversupply of labor from occurring. This helps keep salaries very high. Right now, the big thing keeping the supply of software engineers down is the lack of housing a

there's plenty of land just outside the bay area. from those 5 lane jam packed freeways: 680 and 580, you can see nothing but green or yellow for miles on end, for much of the stretch.

with that kind of policy, it's no wonder they can't retain talent. Since most people can't be promoted, then they have no choice but to leave or get laid off.

I mean, it's just another case of companies not paying their employees enough or not showing enough gratitude/valuing their workers. Employers just need to learn and understand the basics of how supply and demand work - I guess a

Great insights, but let's not forget, at most companies being a programmer is no picknick. Some places like amazon, things are so bad employees cry (that amazon article). Also, don't forget, FAANG employees are the exception not

Well, it's good that your doing your homework on it first. Because, once you start using one, the cost of switching rises a bit because each year, they have youre last years info which comes in handy quite a bit: they can pre-fill out

3 is still understandable, as long as it's a genuine appraisal. I know Amazaon doesn't want couples giving reviews on the same item either, I guess you could apply the same ruleset to companies too. i wouldn't be surprised
