    112 downvotes goddamn. Lemmings are so much more savage than redditors, i swear to god.

    I agree a lot of people are going to need to reevaluate their lifestyle and geography settings in the coming decades. Like mass migration level stuff. It sucks and nobody wants to hear it but that’s where we are headed.

      There is nowhere that is affordable unless you have a well paying work from home job and you can get a big city salary in a small town. Cheap places have cheap jobs.

        Lol that is an outright lie. There are so many places you can live affordably in the US… but people think they need to live in Manhattan and shit

          Cheap places have cheap jobs. It’s econ 101. Wages and prices will reach a similar equilibrium everywhere, though obviously there will be a few statistical outliers in both directions, in most cases given free movement of people, housing will cost the same relative to local salaries.

          Remote work is the only thing shaking up this equation.

      Haha yeah it’s the antiwork crowd that mostly moved. The ones who blame thier problems on everyone else and refuse to look internally as to what the problem might be and then wonder why nothing ever changes.

        What gets me is the rabid hatred for any and all things finance/accounting/economics/business etc. These people have never looked at a balance sheet in their lives and don’t have a clue about anything technical in these fields. And yet they have extremely strong opinions about technical shit they don’t understand, and express these opinions for loudly and confidently. Drives me crazy.
