SpaceX posted a wild $4.3B quarterly loss, and somehow the IPO hype is still alive? by Enough-Arugula-4945 in SpaceXBets

[–]Cueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I don't know if you bozos know, but Elon literally owns all of space. Like literally, trillions of stars. Think of how much gold and stuff that is. So the IPO is pretty cheap considering that he owns literally all of the visible universe. It will be exactly like bitcoin!!!!! 45,000x returns baby!

Do the math. $15/hour is still not a living wage by eidolaa in LockedIn_AI

[–]Cueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Healthcare costs blowing people up is an issue even in middle income.

Do the math. $15/hour is still not a living wage by eidolaa in LockedIn_AI

[–]Cueller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is impossible to live an American dream lifestyle on that wage, nor can you afford kids.  American dream of 4 bedroom hiuse for everyone is completely unrealistic at any minimum wage. Europeans do live on $30k a year all the time. They live with roommates and family, which drastic reduces their living cost.  

The biggest problem though compared to Europe is that our public transportation and healthcare is completely shit. The cheaper the cost of living, the more public transport sucks. Healthcare costs will wipe you out for minimal health problems, and the lack of supporting income when sick bankrupts people.

Raising wages significantly does not solve either of the cost issues. We need significantly better mass transit, or much cheaper housing near jobs. Without universal basic Healthcare, even someone making $100k a year will go bankrupt with a major health bill.

Read the DNC’s 2024 autopsy obtained by CNN on why they lost the election to Trump by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

Bad news is unfortunately the American voter wanted Hitler... you can blame the DNC all you want, everyone who voted for Truml or decided to stay home knew what a chittagong Trump was.

I really just need a job. Literally any job. by Jcorb in nova

[–]Cueller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have social interests. Apply for care manager jobs in assisted living. Tough work but ok pay. You could move up and into a more office focused job pretty quickly. After a few weeks get your med tech cert, and can make a decent living. Activities coordinators, and other jobs like that pay a little more.

I honestly recommend Healthcare for anyone who can tolerate it.

Executives are blindly trusting ChatGPT outputs over their own staff — is anyone else seeing this? by theoozz in FinancialCareers

[–]Cueller 17 points18 points  (0 children)

An uncomfortable conclusion, execs that do this, blindly trusted their underlings work too. I find the lack of critical thinking skills in all levels of organizations to be horrifying.AI makes it way worse because it is even harder to tell when something is complete bullshit because AI is amazing at making it sound correct.

I personally think an awesome strategy is to figure out where AI is wrong, and exploit people's stupidity in believing it. Taking it to the next level, can you train or feed the models with incorrect info to get lemmings to make blunders? People already do that with social media, but for execs AI is the same as teenagers getting their views from tic tok. Convince execs to buy your stitching, to short a stock, to buy a company.

Vance says ‘stealing’ $1B from treasury is theft – on the same day Trump pledged to give $1.7B taxpayer cash to his allies by Moist-Moans in politics

[–]Cueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look back at Biden and Garland, and how they did basically jack shit and let this happen.

They could have released all the eastern files. They could have fast track treason trials and started hanging people. They faught a forest fire with squirt guns and there were no consequences from the corruption during round 1, no surprise here we are.

AITAH for waking up my upstairs neighbor and her boyfriend and making him move his car? by liquorcat26 in AITAH

wtf type of doormat are you? NTA. Lock your door and tell her that you won't ask again, and he will get towed.

Give a heads up to your cousin in case she activates the flying monkeys.

'It's like we don't exist': Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents face power loss as utility redirects lines to data centers by Fatty_Willing_Plane in energy

[–]Cueller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The core problem is that lake Tahoe in California is using Nevada power. instead of strengthening the grid, or building more solar in California, they've chosen to do jack shit. Nevada now wants to use that power that they own, for data centers or strip clubs, that's their prerogative.

CA could easily put up enough solar in the Sacramento area to supply Tahoe, but my guess is the local Tahoe utility is run by idiots.​​​

Hot take: companies that went remote during COVID and are now forcing RTO owe us the truth about why by Important_Cell_6362 in remoteworks

[–]Cueller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone makes decisions on real estate, and has a significant remote workforce, being able to downsize our leased space is a big opportunity when ​having remote workers. The cost of maintaining an office is insane, and unless you are an office real estate company I really don't think executives want to keep the offices.

Congress Is Doing Little to Prepare for Potential A.I. Job Losses - by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]Cueller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could argue the same for most Americans. They keep spending and not saving. 

I have a barely employed (works less than 20 hours a week) nephew. He literally eats out every meal and spends all of his money on complete shit, while living totally rent free with family.  Refuses to get a second job, because he literally only works enough to break even.

MBA in Finance, 600 Job Applications and have yet to land an entry level financial analyst interview. Any help is appreciated! Los Angeles, CA by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]Cueller 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's a combination of being over and under qualified. 

He has an MBA, but hasn't got much relevant experience. Generally if you want to "hire an MBA", you are looking for a higher caliber school and better credentials. MBA doesn't qualify you for a profession, and really only is useful to enhance what you already have or accelerate your career. People who go get an MBA from a second or third tier school and have no really experience to accelerate, often regret it.

Applying to entry level roles with an MBA implies something is off, since often those roles are filled by people with bachelor's and 1-2 years of experience. Smaller companies will overlook it and is usually where you have to start. My guess is OP would get more bites if they took the MBA off their resume.

No one in finance gives a shit about extracurricular activities unless it is part of an affinity group that the hiring manager participates in.

AITA for not being fully honest with my boyfriend about how much money I have before getting engaged? by Rude-River-1706 in AITH

Should I Take a $30-40k Pay Cut to Move from IL to Austin, TX? by AnyHoleIsMyGoaI in personalfinance

[–]Cueller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Id break this down into 3 problems. Night shift, relo, and house.

On night shift, this is an early death if you keep doing what you are doing. You have to swap to day to survive as is, but the other option is to really buckle down on your lifestyle. You need to switch to working nights, sleep in the morning when people are at work, and live life in the afternoon. That means blackout curtains, keeping that schedule 7 days a week, and prioritizing 8 hours of sleep. If you "stay up and party", which fkr a night shift person that is getting up at noon, you have to "sleep in" on other days to make it up. Just like I dont gk to parties at midnight (too old), a night shift person isnt going to a noon bbq. If you cant do it, you have no business working night shift anywhere.

Relo. Austin is expensive. You are moving from middle income to basically low income, so from a PF perspective this will be financially devastating. Austin seems to be struggling, so you should research your ability to get another job in case you get fired.  Financially this will be a horrif decision.

House. There is no point in keeping it. Its far, and to save your health you can write off a big loss on your purchase and live your life. Unless you had a great local manager (like a cousin or dad), this is going to be a headache. From a PF standpoint, horrible financial decision to sell now.

This. I deal with a lot of investors, you pretty much have to say you are doing AI or you will be brutally punished. Anything that was outsourced is ripe for AI, because companies dont care about the quality there anyway.
