Hiking doesn’t buy much food and shelter
replyYes, I'm sure these six figure tech workers out for a hike on a weekday morning were absolutely struggling to make rent by the 31st.
replyA lot of those laid off were doing fine financially anyway unless they blew it all on stupid things.
reply"Blew it all on stupid things" like the insane mortgage/rent prices need to live in SF?

replyMy point still stands.
replyAs much as I disagree that these laid-off tech workers are scraping by for food and shelter ...
replyYour point very much does not stand, at all.
> I'd rather hike than sling JavaScript for a bunch of finance goofs, but that's just me.
That was your entire point.
No shit you'd rather hike than code but are you making a six figure salary hiking?
Can you be just a touch less obtuse?
if they brought tents they might be scouting their new neighborhood
replyMe too! But then I realize I'd also like good health care coverage on the off chance I disturb a rattlesnake or crack an ankle while on said hike.
replyIf the pay is the same I fully agree. But it is not.
replyImagine not thinking about "pay" all the time. Try it.
replyI did try it. Then the mortgage late notices started to pile up. Then the IRS started calling. I don't recommend it.
replyI'd love to! Based on FIRE-style calculations I'd need approximately 2 mil at the current cost of living in my city. But if you'd help relocate my household internationally, I could get the cost down considerably. Where can I send the bill?
