I hear that. Are there recruiters in your field you can utilize?

I’m facing eviction because my job (uber driver) isn’t paying enough, seemingly no matter how many hours I work. Got a call from the landlord who said they were gonna go ahead and set up a court date for the eviction.

Isn’t that what extensions are?

My gut tells me you should ask for $35k.

In my experience, lots of employers (American that is) have offered me a thousand or two less than my request during offers.

That’s a very reasonable salary request

We live in the early stages of the Singularity. By the end of this process, there will be no jobs for humans any longer.

Think of American high school, where a “junior” is in their third of four years.

Not really because people can die without food, and also without insulin. Nobody is choosing between diamonds and insulin.

Insulin is expensive because of a government-enforced monopoly. It’s a simple fact, no matter how motivated one is to ignore it.

Yeah I know. One of the big differences between prescription drugs and food, in terms of the industries, is that anyone can bake bread and therefore the only reason to buy it at the store is if the loaf at the store costs less time and energy than making it oneself.

What the fuck is “money sitting in a checking account”??

My checking account has about -$130 right now.

You’re only deciding between insulin and groceries because the government maintains some company’s monopoly on manufacturing insulin.

In an actually free market, the instructions would be open source and the only question would be whether to synthesize it at home or pay someone else to synthesize it for you.

My guess is it would cost about as much as chocolate does per unit mass.
