I want to tack on another personal thank you for this response. This is very helpful for myself.

In an interview the same day with Bloomberg News, MBS explained that Neom’s most important innovation would be its legal framework. He said that in a place like New York, there’s an inconvenient need for laws to serve citizens as well as the private sector. “But Neom, you have no one there,” he said, omitting mention of the tens of thousands of Saudis then living in the area. As a result, regulations could be based on the desires of investors alone. “Imagine if you are the governor of New York without having any public demands,” MBS said. “How much would you be able to create for the companies and the private sector?”
SW salaries have blown up this year and the last couple. Checking levels.fyi a lot of companies are increasing pay month over month. Plus stock packages based on tailing 30day ma means in a couple year those package could be real lucrative.
Plus you get 4 months of paid vacation to chill and toolup for the interview gauntlet.
It’s a no brainer. Always take the cash. The next round of layoffs might not be so generous.
Somewhat unsurprising bad but this one is pretty niche

> NP: We don’t even have any questions about tax credit. I am just trying to get to the heart of why you signed up to build a Gen 10.5 factory in Wisconsin, which is a famous cocktail-napkin contract with Scott Walker. All of this other stuff seems like a distraction from that project. Now you are saying you do not think there is a talent base in Wisconsin alone, and you have to bring engineers into short-term housing from all these cities around Wisconsin to help grow a talent base. This entire book is about wining and dining with politicians, getting the deal together, and whether Scott Walker arrives in China and goes straight on the factory tour or stops at the hotel first. Nowhere in this book is there an economic defense of this investment that says, “This is a good idea that we think will return a profit to us.”
> AY: Let me come back to you with a couple things. There were no napkins, okay? The one thing that you published, based on an open record request, is actually what I wrote about in the book. There is a piece of stationery that both Chairman Gou and Governor Walker signed, to make a commitment to reshore manufacturing — that is a fact — but there is no napkin and all that.
> NP: I will concede that there is not a napkin.
What will replace that space or will their revenue just slowly drop?
However our default writing style should not do this preempting disclaimer because it is a distraction.
This is something I think about almost daily, probably not healthy in itself, but I am really glad I read your comment which articulated why this writing style can work against the author. And the comment from unholiness which demonstrates how online discussions are hostile by default and almost warrant this writing style by default, although there are other steps an author could use to accomplish their disclaimer
I would also pass on any company that needs references to my job title because their dystopian background check through the infamous Equifax says I'm an associate, even with a software engineering background, haha that part was beyond silly.
Buying an electric vehicle right now if you aren't a highly paid engineer is a bit of a wedge I'd say though.
We're only just approaching a cross roads of fuel/electric competition in vehicles.
If you buy a car and expect to hold onto it for 5 or more years, slightly under the length of the avg new car loan, then you want to be really sure the one you pick is stable and the right choice. To me that removes most of the EV options available, regardless of how much I like their style (looking at you rivian).
I'm excited to see what's available on the market in 5 years but right now it still feels early to buy a brand new EV if you aren't a high earner.
A used leaf or bolt still looks like the best bet to dip into the EV market and drive something cheaper until full adoption and kinks are worked out by the big car companies.
I have owned some electric vehicles, so not trying to be a hater of it, quite the opposite.

I want to say there's been a few articles that have discussed commercial property boom of new warehousing.
401ks that my generation is used to are a concept only ~36years old, even at that most companies didn't start offering them until the 90s.
It's a very young tool that we're only just now seeing play out for people reaching retirement age that missed the ubiquitous pension era.
And roth IRA was introduced in 1997.
No comment on any of this being good or bad, I think it's interesting to look at the historical perspective of it though.

Beef has been too expensive for years, the only beef I've bought for years from grocery stores is bulk pack ground on sale but now on sale is $7/lb.
Chicken breast has been my main staple, on sale usually for $2-3/lb, now it's on sale at $5/lb for the cheap bulk packs.
Around me it's a wash to cook at home or eat out (at small restaurants/food trucks). I expect restaurants to jack up the prices more soon because they've been fairly sticky.
Sounds like a lovely place to work.
But Elon said it'll all blow over by May (2020). Hard to admit you're wrong when your personality is built around always being right.
On a less cynical note, it's a cool car and I hope it gets built.
