Armani posted:Thanks for starting this thread up - I feel the employment situation in California is completely hosed right now. I have a friend bailing to another state because -three jobs- isn't enough to make rent where he lives and he does not want roomates at all. Good god, where do you live? Outside of 2009 pretty much my entire peer group held down steady, reasonably well paying jobs from then until now.

withak posted:Moving your operation to the middle of nowhere in Texas or Arizona is a pretty good way to filter out any employees willing (and able) to change jobs to stay in CA. Whether these employees likely represent the good part or the bad part of ones workforce is left as an exercise to the reader. When my company did this all the executives moved to CA

Austin was fun to visit and all but holy poo poo the amount of casual racism we encountered in a week (especially when traveling a few miles out of the city) basically turned us off forever.

Agreed, I'm fine paying modest grid-tie fees because I'm not a baby who doesn't understand how power grids work, but lowering tier 3 rates is pretty fucktarded.

Ron Jeremy posted:I splurge on eggs and get em at a cage free farm stand place. Local honey too. Even with the higher price, eggs are still a great source of cheap protein and I eat them almost every day. How much are they? I buy flats of 5 dozen from ours for like 20$. As long as you just get regular pastured cage free eggs and not XXL EXTREME JUMBO EGGS they're drat reasonable.

French Canadian posted:San Diego's rent to income ratio isn't so great, mind you. There isn't a ton of good location available so it's bumped prices up. And wages are not near Google, etc. Qualcomm also just laid a bunch of people off too. But if you've got some biotech skills you can find 80-100k jobs. But again, you'll be suffering a 45+ minute commute if you want a house for less than 500k... Not if you bought in 2011, booya. It's a good time to work in biotech too, I'm starting 2016 with a sizeable raise and keeping my 10 minute commute.

I remember it going down the same way, it was pretty emblematic of how class got glossed over during the election by the DNC, and everyone who was negatively affected by the 2008 recession and never made it back just kinda got ignored. I also remember the weird racism angle.

Walka Blocka Shame posted:Agreed, though I suspect that pharma and the healthcare industry as a whole would do their best to make us a cautionary tale. They'd probably be willing to accept dramatic losses in the short term to ensure that single payer went belly up and the capital class would support them in that endeavor. One thing that I've gained an appreciation for lately is how insanely dirty the establishment fights in order to maintain the status quo. My work had a grand opening of a new site and had all the bigwigs visit, and our CEO probably spent more time talking to anyone who would listen about the evils of single-payer than anything we actually did for the company.
