My Imaginary GF posted:If you view group housing as such "a steaming turd" for young professionals, why is it not so for gerontological individuals? Did you just say "gerontological individuals"? On purpose? My Imaginary GF posted:If you turned all the interstates in San Francisco into market-rate mixed-used housing and commercial zones, you wouldn't have the pricing crunch San Fran finds itself in now. There is very little real estate in SF used by interstates. A little bit of 280, and 101 which mostly becomes surface streets.

Oracle posted:Mothers didn't hold jobs outside the home in appreciable numbers until the mid-late 70s/early 80s. Sure, does that make the comparison invalid in terms of economic mobility? It seems like it tells a story.

That sounds like it would capture head-of-household economic mobility, but not necessarily evaluate progress women have made in terms of their own economic capability.

Right, but is the thesis that all of the proceeds of those resource transfers end up in offshore accounts?

Uranium Phoenix posted:You could at least pretend to read the article and report I linked. I (quickly) read both. The first does not talk about what proceeds of resource transfer lands in offshore accounts. The latter also does not, though it seems to generally describe embezzlement or illegal capital movement to tax havens. Neither seems to effectively connect the dots from my question, or substantially support the claim about which I was asking.

VitalSigns posted:(for example, H1-B visas should not be tied to a job for a single employer) H1-B visas can be transferred between employers. The problem is that they're tied to employment, so the transfer has to be approved before the worker quits their current job. I've done many transfers for people though, it's much easier than getting someone a new H1-B (no lottery, f.e.).

ToxicSlurpee posted:Even though tech is growing the amount of money being thrown at it is absolutely absurd. People are piling massive amounts of cash on basically any startup hoping that they'll get on the ground floor of the next Google or Microsoft. Tech will do fine but tech investment is bubbling. Global VC investment in 2016 was about a quarter lower than in 2015, fwiw. I can't find a good tracking for "tech" specifically, which isn't surprising given the fluid definition. What do you have in mind?

I think you're talking about a smaller fraction than 1% if you're describing them as super-rich. To be in the global 1% you need about $750K net worth. This describes the top 10-15% of Americans. If that comes largely from house equity, income may be a much lower percentile. They are probably living comfortably, but I don't think they are manipulating the global financial ecosystem beyond buying index funds.

MiddleOne posted:If you have a net worth (you do know that net worth is the amount that assets exceed your liabilities, right?) of 750 000 then you're already rich enough to never have to work a day again in your life in any country on the globe. Yes, I know what net worth is. Being able to generate 45K of passive income (if everything is invested and the market is friendly) doesn't seem like someone who is pulling the levers of power.
