People like this are why you can't have good things.

i mean sure, but all skilled labor is trending towards 200-300K wages in the us.

if a "senior" software engineer can make half a mil, and an electrician can make 200k, of course doctor pay are high.

who is going to take 10-15 years of school and debt otherwise?

> Exactly why I can get behind a scrape here. They are already freely accessable.

I think in most cases it is the effort that is the gate. Ex. you can DDOS most public facing services simply by spamming AI.

Crime. Everyone moves from DT Seattle to the eastside when they start a family. It’s normalized at this point, where if you see a potential threat u just walk across the street and go on with your business.

Hostile business environment. Jumpstart, inflationary wage environment, etc.

Living in DT Seattle is just meh. Expensive and the food scene is terrible due to local labor policies.

Inability to get anything done from the local govt. Wilson spent her campaign promising to make it easier to build housing and just gave in to nimby interests again.

Local politics is lunacy. Constant issues with the the unhoused population but it’s ok let’s just keep pushing it to little Saigon / Chinatown! Close your eyes since it doesn’t happen if you’re in Wallingford, QA, or Ballard!

Fewer and fewer major cos investing into the area.

And then there’s 0 transit enforcement or even any attempt at it. We don’t even have fare gates on the link for gods sake.

It’s just completely absurd how mismanaged this city is, despite how much potential there is.

Nowadays more and more offices opening in Bellevue.

This is funny to say because EU QOL stays afloat due to cheap imports from China.

My favorite part of the iPhone 17 pro / ios26 combo is that it lags on any and everything that remotely touches the GPU like this website.

20 hours of listening is surprisingly low --

sony xm6 -- 30h

bose qc ultra -- 24h

would recommend the sony anc headphones, they're quite good.
