The travel job typically has housing built in too and often per diems. So probably closer to 4-5k equivalent! But quality of life isn't great to your point. Software is the objectively better job there unless you're really passio

It's inherent when quarterly numbers trump long term stability. If managers are only incentivized to meet short term numbers, they make decisions that are detrimental to the future to meet present-day goals. Our financial markets rewa

It does if you're willing to be a travel nurse and work on covid floors. I've been hearing $6000/week numbers being thrown around (and some nurses are picking up two contracts at a time!). It's insanely shitty work right

Agreed! The job got a lot worse and extracurricular demands shot up, so people quit. How do you get them back? Pay more.

Probably because procedure volume was down, so they canned people who they could. And then got caught off guard when demand increased again suddenly. Same thing happens over and over in manufacturing.

When push comes to shove, 99.x% of healthcare professionals get it. So we're taking a rounding error in staffing. The problem is how many nurses just got up and quit in the past couple years

It's not clear that they want to admit fewer Asians... That is unless those Asian families aren't massive donors to the University...

This is a clear example of regulation making cars more complex! In the 70s, there were no crumple zones, airbags, backup cameras, traction control, lighting intensity requirements, or a whole host of other things that are mandated today. Th

Which is effectively a battery! Hydrogen production is energy intensive, but if you produce it with excess energy capacity and then use it when it's needed, it's a decent energy storage method. Though mobile applications (air trav

Does anyone close down operations for a tornado watch? Maybe they should, but I've never heard of anyone doing that anywhere... The bigger issue imho is that these employees don't seem to have been in a tornado shelter during a to

I've never been called off for the threat of severe non-winter weather anywhere. And the risk of being in a house hit by this tornado was probably higher than in the warehouse. The lack of tornado shelter is the problem here - or more

My question: where are they finding these replacement workers in this current labor market?

And all this would do is make the CEO a sacrificial position. Cheaper to pay someone to go to jail than it is to fix the problem

The policy that enabled people to get raises through unemployment is long gone at this point though and has been for a while.

If police unions defend officers from all accountability...surprise! They're not accountable to anyone. This means they don't engage when they don't want to and engage with unreasonable force whenever they feel like. We'

Given that 80% of the world doesn't have that, yeah. But for that 20%, the author's path isn't entirely unreasonable (if a bit quick). Make $$$, spend $, invest $$. it requires living somewhere other than CA and probably not

I mean, you get three households instead of one. And it's more likely 2 adults plus 1.7 kids in the house vs. 3 DINKs in the condos. Which points to the other problem of upping density: families who are able to move do so

Two minutes is shorter than most pumps I've been to recently (and seems to be the theoretical max fill rate). Seems stations are using one actual pump for multiple dispensers. Meaning that it takes more like 5 minutes to actually fill

Converting a 3-story house to 3 condos is a great thing for affordability and housing availability. There (mostly) isn't room for new housing in DC, so upping density is the only way!

I'd claim those subsidies worked fine then. The problem wasn't supply - It was delivery. There weren't enough drivers to move stuff around, so stuff didn't get moved around and shelves were empty. The supply chain's

Another article talking about the same thing: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22673605/upper-middle-class-me... The interesting point that this one misses is that the children of this class are often not counted as

I'd claim it's pragmatic too - but only if you have ability to charge at home AND you have an ICE car as well (maybe). Halving the cost of commute is highly pragmatic! This applies to something like half the population right now

Hybrids are flying off dealer lots...and have been for the past few years (at least the ~40mpg crossovers have been). The limiting factor right now is parts (and was pre-pandemic too, just moreso now). As car rental companies tend to take

The value to Uber is that it broke the taxi monopoly. Especially in second tier cities where calling a taxi meant that they might show up...eventually. This enables people to go out without a car - making more locations accessible and (ma

And instead of dealing with climate change (with EASY and ROI-positive approaches like incentivizing wind/solar adoption, pushing electric cars along, etc.) we focus our energy on getting rid of straws. Or...instead of working across t

In one word: move. The living wage for a single adult in SF with no kids is $28/hour(1). That's not a realistic wage for someone in most unskilled jobs (which is why there's basically no manufacturing there and only the bare

Taste is highly contextual for these products. A badly cooked impossible burger is WAY better than a badly cooked meat burger imho. A meat burger that's cooked well is better than the same for an impossible burger (also imho). So...the

It results in less meat consumed, so it's better for the environment, etc. A bit of egg vs. a lot more meat. And chickens produce a lot more egg than they do meat if you're raising then for eggs, so it's better. Not perfect,

They're no longer low cost because of service erosion at the main carriers (squeezing more seats in, getting rid of baggage allowances, etc.). As a result of that erosion and southwest's holding the line, they are now one of the h
