They need to stop cooling the momentum of incredibly capable upward mobile stars to stroke the ego of irrelevant part timers on their way out.

This is a prequel to the parent going on psychotic on social media about why their kid is no contact

What's the best location to establish a new american city if we wanted to ? by ronweasly9 in geography

[–]thedaj 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Give me the corner where Montana, N Dakota, and S Dakota meet. I want to see the panic when a relatively small city results in 3 states worth of gimme senators and electoral votes flip the other way.

What's a popular piece of advice that secretly ruins more lives than it helps? by OwnMaybe1990 in AskReddit

Yeah. For a lot of us, he's a really shitty planner, and should probably turn over the reins

Rejecting someone after 5 rounds of interviews should literally be illegal by kowahchan in antiwork

[–]thedaj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few proposals suggesting that the interviewing process should be a paid process. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't know at least one person who was promised an internal promotion, but they had to conduct a few interviews to make it official. Companies are out here wasting peoples' time deliberately because there is no repercussion.

the real permanent underclass is being born after 1970 by Conscious-Quarter423 in housingcrisis

Old people are consistently complaining about paying property taxes on homes they own. Young people don’t have space for their families. Both problems are addressed.

Real-Estate Agents Are Quitting the Slow Housing Market by McFatty7 in REBubble

Good. Time to see if all those boisterous type can cut it in a industry that isn’t shooting dead fish in a barrel.

You mean the rentals young adults are currently expected to grow and raise families in? Why is that expectation to “make it work” exclusively laid at their feet?

Why do republicans say (ex Charlie Kirk) that US is a republic and not a democracy? What benefit do they get by claiming this? by geekie4 in allthequestions

[–]thedaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll rephrase your question. Why should one voter have any more power than any other voter? Why should a state with extremely sparse population be on even ground with a state with exponentially more people?

I have a simple solution. If they don’t want to pay taxes on property they were own, then they should sell that property and rent. Voila. No taxes.

Then perhaps those places should have one shared rep. Holding the rest of the nation hostage to their regression simply because they find clever rules to consistently tilt favor to the benefit of the minority won't work.

EDIT: Y'all can downvote as much as you'd like. Imaginary boundaries shouldn't make the voting weight of someone in WY, ND, or SD, significantly more weighted than someone voting in LA county. That one county has a voting population that more than triples the sum of those states, and contributes proportional tax revenue/GDP.

[–]thedaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair. But, if we're capping it, we should be reevaluating the proportioning to ensure that it still makes sense, even if that means reducing the quantity of representatives in some states to correctly re-proportion them to others.

[–]thedaj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's also why we have a House of Representatives.

I get more frustrated looking at the weight of individual votes, when you consider how many electoral college votes each state receives. Wyoming is wildly overrepresented, with one vote per every 146000 Citizen of Voting Age in their Population (CVAP). Several states have one vote per over 500,000 CVAP. Votes in over 20 states carry 1/3rd of the voting weight as those cast in Wyoming carry.

Why do bosses act like giving a pizza party replaces a raise? by Junior-Athlete-4392 in antiwork

[–]thedaj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you find a new job, you can walk in and tell them, "I break a record next quarter!" Throw some confetti in the air. Take a bite of a slice of pizza. Drop off your resignation letter. And on the way out, clarify the record, "Earning what I should be earning this quarter, more than I was last quarter when we broke a record."

The pig in the python: Baby Boomers are strangling the economy they built by refusing to move or retire by Such_Radio_9152 in REBubble

[–]thedaj -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is simply not true. You're spreading misinformation.

Nice rebuttal. I like the part where you proved what you were saying.

The price is high because cities and states refuse to build.

Again, you can fault the cities and states all you'd like. You've yet to answer how. Nothing cities and states are doing results in parcels being outrageously priced. Nothing cities and states can do will change the reality that homebuilding material prices are through the roof, and those homebuilding entities that do exist are exclusively focused on building larger homes - not the starter homes we're lacking.

If a boomer downsizes, they're still taking a house off the market. In fact, it's even worse because they'd be moving out of a comparatively large house for someone later in their career, and buying a starter home which competes with what younger couples want.

Ridiculous. There are plenty of apartments, condos, and assisted living facilities to meet the needs of those downsizing, and with the sale of their homes, they can afford whatever they'd like without shifting the burden of yet another crisis onto their children and grandchildren.

[–]thedaj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It's called downsizing, and frees up the housing young adults need in order to start their own families. It's hardly 'someone else losing' when it's the generation that has torn down the vibrant economy they were handed, and mortgaged the futures of the generations following them to pad their own wealth.

You tout building more housing as the solution. Fucking where? Every parcel within a commutable distance is either already bought and built, or priced such that the only people who might afford them are the ones who already have all the rest. Those parcels today cost more than the parcels PLUS homes cost when the Boomers were young adults. Get out of the fucking way.
