Agree with most of the other commentary I would say this isn't super universal. The pay gap has gotten less egregious in states like New Jersey where you can make a relatively comfortable living when you factor in the benefits received compared to private sector workers (i.e. real pensions and good healthcare)

it’s really the best of both worlds when you have a partner with state benefits

Honestly man god bless I'm here for the cause but it's a real pain as a daily driver.

i dont even know how this is going to work out in practice - who's going to start making routers in the US?

my work stack is all google. i tried using it full time last year with a pixel and i just found the sandboxed google services to be too unreliable in a pinch

let beans live

so much winning

I mean all this hand-wringing about Democrats and the American left can't stand up a functioning party that could win a council race let alone a congressional one. Dems have their flaws, but if half the online left focused their rage posting into actually trying to get a foothold in winnable races (other than voting for Jill Stein every four years) maybe the two party system would be broken by now.

so wrote too soon i meant routers. no one physically makes them here

just got he most unserious people

throwing accusations on socials instead of actually doing something is on par for a performative online only lefty
