Everyone here is well above that.

IMO, the problem is we've met in the middle too much, and it's always the conservatives gave up more while the liberals gained more. We're now rife with this entitlement mentality.

You don't think they view it the same way? Also, you do realize that the phrase "meeting in the middle" literally means that both sides give up the same amount to reach that point, right? Either we've met in the middle, or we haven't. There's no such thing as "meeting in the middle too much."

The only way I'm ok with this is if they put a qualifier on this for civil servants only. Otherwise, you can get fucked and I'm glad I don't live in Commiefornia.

Silicon Valley gets to do the things it does because of our capital environment where money is worth nothing. As interest rates come up it will die another horrible death. "Act like you turn a profit" is not a long term strategy.

That's what I'm saying, one side has given way too much, and now we're at the point the others side doesn't want to give any more.

Gun control?
Abortion?

Do tell, where's the "compromise" in those issues? One side clearly gains and loses nothing in a "common sense compromise".

Now was have nonsense like this, because of the road we've gone down:

I don't think you understand what I was getting at. I was going at statement from an angle of logic, not from an angle of politics, so I'll just let it be. Didn't mean to start a political slug-fest.

I've come to learn not to talk politics, ever. I've met plenty of friendly like-minded people here, and most of them are from elsewhere originally. Granted, Sac isn't quite the same culture as the bay area, and I'm very grateful for it, but damn could I use a home subsidy, even here.

Same ol' shit, these two dead horse issues are STILL overly dramatized in the media. As such, small minded people continually use them as some sort of argument as to why they vote the way they do. I am glad that at the minimum the California "liberals" i worked with or met, were concerned with things other than guns and saving or killing babies. Here, it seems to be the only two things worth talking about when it comes to politics. Bringing up an issue in Texas without a solution is considering complaining, which is an archaic view. Bringing up a problem is how you start coming up with solutions that you iterate upon till perfection. I can say that while many see Californians as complainers, at least they are helping by bringing the questions that we should address instead of worrying about if jake and tom are fucking and the impact it'll have on my family, or if stacy is having a 3rd abortion, or if they are making me limit the rounds on my assault rifle.

"Act like you turn a profit" is not a long term strategy.

While that is funny, its not typically true. Many startups do turn a profit, until some other platform or technology comes along ( typically google ) and either buys, replaces, or does it better. Arbitrage is what the majority of the platforms are based on, and they work great for a few years. Once the top end of the money levels off, they reduce the bottom end by removing employees or selling it to businesses that know how to run a company into the ground while its making money.

It's because that shit sways the stupid voters. People who can only grasp and focus on one issue and it's all they have.

[SS Junk]

but some of the things they preach or talk about are spot on.

In their own delusional, self-loathing, smug arrogant world, sure. You've posted up some pretty fucked up reasoning as well, therefore this claim makes sense.

Most are only profitable because they lie to the press, their employees and their initial investors. Once they go public or get bought out they can't lie any more or people go to prison. These companies aren't run into the ground, they were never profitable to begin with. All those free days off work and all that other shit is paid for with seed capital from suckers who hope they are funding the next Google.
