I'm nowhere near executive compensation and I would just tap my savings for 2 months.

I think you'd have to limit their usage of previously acquired funds. Once you're rich, you can ride out a 2 month storm like it's nothing.

Nobody else ships like them in the US.

Getting a product to me from California is 500 more land miles than someone in Rome ordering from Moscow.

You're already 10 years in. Completely different.

I reached out to you about a week ago at the given email and ended up with radio silence followed by a standard template rejection today.

Just bringing this to your attention, if you aren't the one screening online resumes.

Sounds like you want to start an insurance company or a VC firm.

All of those companies turn a huge profit.

> AirBNB has greatly increased the supply of housing in each city, thus causing price drops and forcing hotels to drop their prices in order to remain competitive.

That's 2-3 major claims that I just can't believe at face value. I'd like to, but you'll have to convince me.

People are converting rental properties to AirBnBs, which actually could mean less supply of rental properties and the same amount of people looking for them.

Is AirBnB leading to development of new housing to offset this? Maybe. idk

So is speaking fluent English (even as a native speaker). The thing is that both are so common that they aren't really skills in the US market.

Knowing how to drive is nearly ubiquitous in the US in the 18+ year old population.

So, let's say the metric is "additional training required after age 18".

Driving: likely none. McDonalds: likely a little!

The services are there. Cheap and slow or expensive and fast.

Right now you're spoiled with cheap and fast, which will change eventually; I'd recommend planning for this.

>Sure I want to support those who work for a company that respect them

Do you really? Clearly not to the tune of an additional $250 for daily private car service or additional commute time on the buses.

To be even more fair, a huge factor in them being underpaid is that the average driver will have a hard time factoring in depreciation, which hits you on a delay.

Why is this aside in the article?

It's a separate point that isn't going to get her much sympathy in many circles, because that pay gap could be less real than you think.

18% less could be a result of negotiating skills or any other confounding factor. How has she quantified her qualifications vs all other male employees?

No need to add this unsubstantiated drivel to an otherwise potentially useful insight.
