If you’re living paycheck to paycheck on $150k you’re stupid full stop.
If you’re living paycheck to paycheck on $150k you’re stupid full stop.
San Francisco, CA The cost of living in San Francisco is the highest in the country. Jobs in the City by the Bay pay well, with average annual incomes of over $100,000
Now imagine one just doesn’t choose to live in the literal most expensive place on the planet.
FWIW the only people benefiting from this shitty exclusionary zoning are the boomers who rigged the zoning so they stay rich forever. It’s entirely a localized problem.
I think the point is, they are living paycheck to paycheck unless they choose to decrease the quality of living.
People who actually live paycheck to paycheck don’t have this option and this is ludicrously offensive to people who actually live this way.
On one hand we can say these people are way better off than they deserve and laugh at their stupidity.
It’s not about laughing at their stupidity but about the situation itself being laughable.
The “every day” kind of rich person isn’t even that rich anymore. And lowering the ceiling pushes you into the floor.
I thought lowering these gaps was the intention of Progressivism. Is it not?
I have 13 years of experience but my first Directorship was after 5 (comparable budget and authority).
This job is technically a step down for me but the money was right and it’s a unique opportunity
Titles at my company are kinda dumb, but I’m the head of employee development for a manufacturing company
Title is “Talent Development Specialist” which makes me sound like a trainer lol
Ah ok that makes more sense to me
Imagine watching Kanye West destroy his public image and then in the same year thinking “Nothing bad will happen if I make antisemitic comments on the media platform I own.”
No one is in control. That’s why dumb decisions get made. He’s an Ivy Leaguer who was head of the FCC. On paper, this is a no-brainer hire. Obviously, smart people would disagree with that.
Same, except I have a functional TV now lol
You wanna stop lashing out and make an actual point?
Then your family isn’t making 150k and you’re not part of this discussion.
Also if you’re making more than 150k and can’t pay your bills, I have 0 sympathy for you.
What a dumb shit comment lol.
I literally volunteer on campaigns to change local zoning to be more dense and contain more public transport.
“You countered my point so quick let me think up some way to attack you as a person” lol.
You’re absolutely correct, but the point of that person’s comment was not to say true things but to articulate displeasure.
This place makes a lot more sense when you realize most of the crazier sounding posts are written by people who think like 12 year old girls.
I just don’t see this happening based on your above claims.
More to the point, I don’t see a motive or purpose behind doing this. X is not a competitor for them. It makes no sense for them to try to manipulate the market against X.
Customers expressing their opinions on your product is part of the market articulating its desires.
In California, a new mortgage payment is 8-15k/month. Rent on an apartment is 3-4k/month
Buddy of mine lives in LA and was just posting angry complaints about his rent going up to 1800/mo, so no.
I’ve got three friends in the LA area and one in the Bay and none of them pay anything close to 3k/mo rent or 8k(!!!) on their mortgages.
Those numbers are insane.
Yeah, if you’re a single man who doesn’t have anyone to take care of and has no physical or mental health problems $150k is great. If you’re part of a house with two incomes you’re probably OK
Why would it matter how many people it takes to make the 150k?
I make 150k, have 3 kids (one in college), a home, 2 cars, etc and I am most assuredly not living paycheck to paycheck
If you can’t play for the future you will be poor. I owe you no sympathy
You’re one of the richest people on the planet, by default, and I think you should pay more in taxes and it should be on you to figure out your finances, because you’re fucking rich and you just don’t realize it.
The most wealthy places on earth should not be held up as the norm and most people should not live in those places. We should tax all of those people excessively and they should not have guaranteed wealth.
