the history of the world. This is just one specific example of corruption and 'fuck you i got mine' mentality.

Tacoma

zoning and business laws prevent market based solutions, so we don't know that there aren't market fixes. The retail space prices are so absurd because there was only a limited part of the city where you can do retail. Go to 'third world countries' and there are plenty of groceries in neighborhoods as well as street vendors that are illegal in the US.

no, haircut is now a phrase that doesn't only apply to hair due to the flexibility of human language =)

You are right, but kind of proving their point by not engaging with the content and dismissing it. As a women you can sit back passively and pass on people, while the men have to put in the effort and come to you.

Edit: The question was added to their comment after I clicked reply.

>>> without the staff level title or pay.

I've been watching this Adult Swim sketch for years and every time I notice another thing that they predicted getting problematic. AI, crypto, ad-bots, captcha, higher-ed, etc. Stuff that wasn't on peoples' radar when the sketch came out.

I think it is a great cultural artifact that really predicted a lot of the past 10 years and is really funny. It's not new, but I haven't seen it discussed on HN and it is very relevant.

My guess is that they meant: If you give a lot of people that previously couldn't afford a house more money it will increase the demand and prices. The issue is that there is a shortage of housing which is primarily due to zoning preventing the construction of houses in a lot of areas.

That service is called unemployment, but unfortunately the state unemployment agency defers to the company for the reason of termination rather than what you say. So if they say you quit voluntarily rather than because they violated their promises or OSHA rules, you don't get anything.

Promises companies failed to keep:

- Decent working environment. I was moved into a single person office with another person that was so cramped I had to move if they needed to use the bathroom and ended up begging to be moved into the open office plan (which was so distracting but less humiliating.)

- Performance based bonuses/promotions

- Not working on weekends/holidays.

- Company Transit (a spot wasn't guaranteed or reservable so it wasn't reliable)

- 40 hour work week. Expected that I will go over 40 hours sometimes but under was taboo. And of course the 2 hours of commuting doesn't count.

- Plenty of other passive aggressive stuff by management during meetings

So I don't think people should feel that bad about negotiating the work environment on their terms. If companies don't follow the rules, why should people always be expected to fulfill your requirements that are something they never wanted.

I've received relocation assistance and signing bonuses where it was stated I would need to return if I left within a certain time (a year I think)

Why not do it then rather than shaming others for not doing it?
