This is the reason I would leave if I was a billionaire. Living in California I never felt like my tax dollars got me anything more than they got me in other states and if the city/country/state got even more I knew it would go to some sort of tomfoolery like a high speed rail that doesn’t actually get built or a $1m bathroom.
please count how much money california (and SF specifically) spent on "homelessness" and what does the California has to show for it? its 24 billion with a giant B.
If you are a billionaire or 100 millionaire, you probably got rich in California, Washington, or Oregon, or probably in the northeast of America in the last 50-60 years, if prop 40 passes, it will have the same effect as prop 13, a positive effect long-term that is, if you manage your finances, most of the states in the Union you are out of luck. why is that?
As someone who lives in California. Goodbye please move to one of those red states. Florida? This percenter will stay in California, and if I had to, the only other two places I would go would be Washington or Oregon, and if the United States was still on good terms with Canada, British Columbia which doesn’t look too bad, but I’m staying on the west coast of North America.
214 out of 40 million people, there is no need to carry water or suck up to them.
Slavery was widespread and universally practiced across the world throughout history. Everyone posting on this board is a descendent of someone who was a slave at some point. Transatlantic slave trade is a drop in the bucket.
Probably because living in PNG sucks and they would rather risk their lives at a chance of improving their condition. Same reason immigrants came from Germany to the US to live in mud dugout houses in the plains. Or immigrants go anywhere really.
You can take your kids to parents days out or parks where they consistently meet with other kids and become friends. The option isn't 100% daycare or 100% staying at home and never seeing anyone.
Ah, now the pearl clutching makes sense. Some of other children in daycare are from the bad and weird ethnicity. Would a 23andme be a good requirement for playdates then?
Yes, community raising of children is how it "used to be" but dropping your kids off for 8-10 hours a day to be raised by absolute strangers with zero ties to your family and spending time with other kids who have zero familial ties to you as well and maybe even no community ties is not the same at all.
On the first day? Barely, though in "good" daycares, you usually have a connection because placement is competitive and you got in through nepotism.
After a couple months? If you don't know the other kids by name and some other parents, you may have a bad daycare full of people who do not care.
My sister ran a fairly renowned daycare for over a decade. She ended up the caretaker for the children of many friends, and gained many friends of the children she helped raise. The daycare was a massive part of their community. It allowed the parents to function in modern society while ensuring their child was in the care of, essentially, an expert.
How well does the average person know their neighbors when they move to a new place? Maybe if you had a routine where you and your children meet other families that live close to you... hmmmm
I'm not a parent but my niece and nephew (different parents) both go to daycare. My sister knew many of the parents at her son's daycare already, they live in the same neighbourhood. My nephew knew the children of those parents too. He had his little daycare friends before he started daycare at 18mo. My sister has lived in the same city all her life, some of the parents involved she's known for 30 years.
I'm not as close to my sister in law as I am my sister, but I know that when my niece started daycare they knew some kids and parents from the playground already.
It doesn't strike me as bizarre that someone would know people in their community who are in a similar life stage.
North American waters also. The waters off the coast of Cape Cod are being decimated by Chinese-funded vessels, based on what I've heard from local fishermen there at least.
These guys (VCs) entire livelihoods rely on tens of thousands of young people throwing away their early years of lives trying to get super rich. Only .01% even see moderate success but PG and co don't care and continue to pump the dream and urge folks to waste their lives to try and make them rich.
