Most people over-index on maximizing compensation or holding on to stability. But there’s more to work than money and stability. Work is about growth, building connections, working on things you care about, being challenged and creating a legacy.

Fucking legacy? Is this a joke? Who gives a shit about what shitty products they launch for FAANG companies? I certainly don't - not beyond keeping my resume and portfolio up to date.

Compensation and stability are the only things that matter beyond basic working conditions and a non-toxic environment.

Objectively and demonstrably false

Education is antithetical to conservative beliefs.

The police are worse than useless.

Similar or same? Original cover art doesn't necessarily mean first edition.

That would have been a more informative headline

I'm not being dishonest. Just questioning the value of the information. Of course rich people are more likely to leverage a social network that contains other rich people?

People with money to spare have more money to share. Makes sense. I'm not sure if "poor people don't have enough money to donate to natural disasters when they're all suffering together" is much of a headline though.

I strongly disagree with the people who say pet insurance is prohibitively expensive.

We pay around 120 per month for both of our cats and it has paid for itself several times over. When we had 4 cats, it was under $200 per month.

One emergency surgery can be over $5,000.

Dental issues can be extremely costly.

We had a cat with chronic allergies. Insurance covered his ongoing immunotherapy treatments which were over $100 per month.

We had a cat with cancer who had over $10k in treatments and surgeries covered in less than a year.

I strongly, strongly recommend you get quotes from a couple reputable providers. We have been very happy with trupanion.

Then, call your vet and ask how much surgery for an abscess, tooth extraction, cancer treatment, or broken leg is. Then ask how much an ultrasound is.

We have saved thousands of dollars over the years with pet insurance.

I didn't miss it.

You misunderstood my comment. These regulations you're talking about either don't exist or they are ineffective, because we are suffering the greatest economic inequality in history while corporate profits are at an all time high.

But good luck, I hope you become super rich doing business so you don't have to suffer with the rest of humanity. Have fun buying clean water tokens in a couple decades!

I'm not aware of any common sense regulations that take precedence over corporate profits, but keep up the good fight I guess.

Capitalism is a scam.

It's an unsustainable system predicted on infinite growth that necessitates unconscionable inequality.

These projects should come with strict minimum wage requirements and maximum profit margins for the corporations that run them.

If you pay young people 40 bucks an hour to work on bridges, they will come flocking for these good jobs and regard the fed positively for life.

But they're being institututed by dems so they'll pay 17 an hour, work nights, and give the CEO leeway to pocket 15 million bucks a year.

The human brain has a lot of cognitive biases that we have collectively decided to legislate against.

This is one of the easiest to move on from. It takes significantly more effort to justify and carry out judicial murder than it does to ban it.

We banned dueling to the death over honor centuries ago, and that's a very similar cognitive bias. Arguably a lot less impactful on society at large too, since a duel requires 2 willing participants and by definition has no collateral consequences, but it was still deemed wrong ages ago. There is no clear argument killing someone for their alleged crimes.

I don't know why this is still a controversial concept. Just don't kill prisoners. Horrific crimes are not assuaged by more death. It's never worked in history and it doesn't work now.

It looks like nazi fucking Germany.

Fair

They're both enormously over processed and extremely bad.

I've been doing this for a decade.

Highly recommend it. The only thing some people don't like is using a keyboard and mouse on the couch, but there are endless solutions for that.

How much do you think should it cost to use?
