That's nice. I can afford a house here.

I allow it. I look forward to your discussion point once you read up on immigration. :)

That’s right. My b

Yes, my bad on that part.

This is for the US only.

we should reconsider their patent extent given how much they make and the gains in public health we would have

thank you sir. as long as you allow it

Dude, I literally live in California. San Francisco to be precise.

I grew up in Brazil and I can assure that SF is scary. I feel safer in my hometown in Brazil (so called 3rd world) than in California (not everywhere, though). After 9 years living there, they already broke into my house once (in a nice neighborhood in RWC and 3 times into my car in SF).

I don’t know why people keep defending SF like it’s not crazy bad. This is just about ideologies. Admitting that SF is a shithole at the moment, won’t automatically make republicans right and democrats wrong. Maybe there’s just a few things that we should reconsider.

Congrats, I’m an engineer. I’ll be fixing problems while you and others just complain about them.

Why are there two different colors for $500,000? Is the bottom one supposed to be $200,000?

Is this takehome or before taxes?

Yes, NOW they can get away with extortionate prices on drugs, because of “woke” culture or some weird bullshit going on in your head. They haven’t been doing this for decades or anything the old fashioned way of “millions in lobbying dollars to make politicians look the other way and not write pricing legislation.” Holy shit, the length people like you go to feel aggrieved. Let’s throw out literal decades of neocapitalist history you can actually track through donation dollars and written law and make up some nonsense about a minority getting a job as “the real cause.” What fragile little worlds you all live in.

A good example of the result of cash over quality

Discussion is encouraged, but I'm not doing your work for you.

I wonder what this would look like if you adjusted by average miles per gallon for the cars in that year. I would expect that might indirectly make the total cost of gas cheaper with more efficient cars. Though I have no idea if that type of data is available, or if car efficiency changed significantly since the 90s.

we're thinking about selling the camper

we already got rid of the diesel

It's so nice of San Francisco to make the rest of the country happy we don't live there.

If you don’t mind, will you please stop planning cross country vacations?

most of the spikes relate directly to times when I planned cross country vacations

Only thing I would change are the values and go with billions and one decimal place instead of millions and three.

World population 1980: 4.4B

World population now: 8.1B

That’s a lot more than 50%
