I agree with your take. It was obvious to my VP. It's not obvious to the rest of the enterprise (yet).

But I think it's just a matter of when not if.

My current guess at my slow fortune 500 is ~1-2 years before we see real employment impact.

Startups are happening now at least with my anecdotal conversations. Right now the discussion is more just slower growth than actually doing layoffs. That coin will flip at some point.

Yeah that's the idea. They hold corporations hostage that are slow to move and increase prices.

Generically speaking no.

There's some exceptions, USDA, VA, and FHA loans. All government programs. But it's tied to the property so only transferable to the purchaser. Very rare here even now with rates changing so much.

>> American households, on average, have $41,600 in savings, according to data last collected by the Federal Reserve in 2019.

Average vs Median strikes again.

Median household has 4k. 70% don't break 10k.

It's the high end that weighs on that average pretty hard.

I think private CAs are a mistake if only because of all the time wasted on certificate errors from improperly configured platforms. Don't forget that some languages don't respect system stores.

Unless you are involved in that sale discussion or otherwise have a retention bonus I wouldn't go down with the ship.

Probation is a legal term that has implications like you can let someone go for no reason. Most places don't have zero worker rights like the US does.

Have you already paid? Ask for a "pay for delete agreement" if you haven't

> You need an Apple device to watch Apple TV+

I watched severance on a Roku so I know that isn't true.

I would argue the lack of atmosphere and high cost of shipping materials is a LVT in and of itself. You only build things that are useful on Mars.

I've always thought that stand-ups are a lazy form of management

My only point is that I see similar echoes of that argument from the comment I replied to, and I firmly disagree with that stance.

We got a small taste of how isolated nations are when this pandemic kicked off. It's amazing it didn't degrade further.

Norman Angell argued almost the exact same thing as you-- in 1909. Doubled down on this argument in 1933. "The Great Illusion".

He was wrong -- both times. :)

In my experience, a lot of people who live and reside in Los Angeles will take gigs in Georgia. Most people wouldn't actually live there minus their short stints to do the film they are involved in.

Serious question. I thought Yelp was basically dead? I essentially only use Google reviews.
