Numbers go up and down for rental businesses all the time – up slowly as you collect rent, down quickly as you need to perform maintenance.
More like 'friendly to perceived in-group, not friendly to perceived outsiders'
Economic mobility is definitely a part of social justice. But let's note that those groups that most suffer from a lack of economic mobility are Black and Latinx groups. Even among whites, white men tend have better…
It doesn't explain why they couldn't just buy wooden or fiberglass ladders though. I'm sure there are many vendors who would be happy to fill such a contract.
It _is_ categorized under the title 'Pop Phyisics'...
Those are other criticisms of the analysis, not the simple fact that credits are worth 1:1 in real dollars, which is what the original poster was objecting to.
Of all the criticisms one can make of this article, this is one of the weakest. If I agree to a $10k pay cut from my employer, that's functionally equivalent to me giving my employer $10k. (and in the US at least,…
Yeah, for better or for worse that may be all a given candidate has.
I actually agree with you here, I'm just pointing out that there is no indecision of any sort on the part of homeowners.
Clearly everybody who already owns a home is heavily leaning into the 'make housing as expensive as possible' conclusion. Where these sorts of articles comes from is observers who would like to change that narrative.
Depends on where you live. California state law requires all lenders to except early payments, so a fixed loan holder in California really gets the best of both worlds.
I think you're glossing over the point,] that's been made by others in this thread, that while you're building up that 1500 hrs. of flying time you're getting paid not much more than minimum wage. i.e. the salary at 2…
What you're discovering is why most Americans of other political persuasions take such a dim view of modern American 'libertarians'. Most of them just use libertarianism to mean "I want taxes to pay for the things I…
It's too bad, really, because as you say Boise is quite beautiful. But yeah, there was no plan for handling population growth. Too many people wanted to leave out by Eagle / Nampa, but work in downtown or at Micron. And…
Thanks. I know it's a tough definition, I just meant that someone making 60k is Boise is going to be at least as satisfied with his/her life as someone making ~100k in Silicon Valley...
The key factor that you seem to be ignoring is ratio of the income to cost of living in that area. For the purposes of this I'll define upper middle class as 'can afford a house, a reasonably nice car, and can afford to…
In my experience 60-70k is considered to be a 'high' salary in Boise. Like, someone outside of tech who is making is 60k considers themselves to be upper middle class. I know people who relocated from Boise to Bay area,…
Alright, but that's an entirely different topic. Save that one for the emigration-from-US thread.
The problem is that 'similar space' is too easily misconstrued. What exactly is the 'space' that Google or Amazon operates in?
But that ignores a key underlying tenet of this discussion - that what school you graduate from is a major factor in your employability in the upper echelons of American society. If you want to get a top job in DC or…
To directly answer your question: people buy autopilot so they can check their phone while commuting down the freeway to work. I was talking to a group of people about the difficulties of commuting in the Santa Clara…
Yeah I think OP is highlighting the presence of the over-broad definition of neglect in the first place.
While my only source is the Fall of Rome podcast that others on this thread are raving about, one key point he makes is that whether or not it was a 'Fall' depends a lot on where you lived. Yes, there was lots of…
I wonder what the retention rate would be if one tried to do laundry while reading a traditional book :)
Xbox is almost certainly manufactured in China. If you know otherwise, could you provide a source?
