this is such a cherry picked stat it’s hard to wrap my head around. the first couple years of millennials have just turned 40. these are people that would have started any post secondary at the start of the first dot com bust in 2000. they would have finished it in 2004-2006 and gotten into the work force a few years before the 2008 crash. basically the only sweet spot for the entire generation. so it’s not surprising that their home owner stats are comparable.

let’s see what that stat does if you include the entire generational cohort.

Yeah this stat is going to drop a ton. If you didn't buy property before covid lockdowns you're poo poo out of luck. Condos in my area were hot, going for $600k at 3% back in early 2020. Now it's $800k at 6% (1 sold in the last 12 months, 0 for sale right now). Monthly payments went from $2k to $3.8k with 20% down lmao.

it would cost them roughly 1.3 billion to give a workforce making say, a median of 200k, a 3% raise

literally like 2% of their profit margins

Raises in the tech sector generally don’t happen unless you job hop. it’s been like that since the 80’s.

microsoft has a "terminal" level of 63 (which is just senior) where in theory you can stay at that level as long as you do your job well, but you'll be first on the chopping block when layoffs happen

they're a promotion driven culture and probably the most political company on the planet in terms of how things work

Re: doctorchat and gatekeeping, I know the stakes are higher when it comes to being a doctor but it always struck me weird how much of a massive financial, academic, and residency time pain in the rear end it is to become a doctor when you can become an engineer in 4 years designing seatbelts and bridges and poo poo which could also kill you if done incorrectly. Surely there's some way to improve it all.

Burn the AMA into cinders and train nurse practitioners like you do engineers and scientists. Make them re-up their license every couple of years in order to weed out the dummies who refuse to continue learning as medicine changes. Oh, and [CENSORED] each and every person involved with medical insurance. Make it look like the Romanovs stubbed their toe.
