Use a USB c flash drive. I have a 128 gb phone with a 256 gb flash drive and it works

I am in an existential crisis all the time. But not because I want to leave a legacy. If I died and everybody had enough to eat, then I'd die happily and peacefully. But that's not how I'll die.

Someone is going to follow me because they literally starved today. Someone else is going to beat their SO to death. Someone else is going to die because they're homeless and don't have access to resources they need to survive at the very least. Someone is going to be worked to the literal bone and discarded in a corporation's supply chain. And many are going to die because fossil fuel companies are trying to maintain their profits.

Yeah, I'll be gone one day, but like...even I don't care about that. I just want other people to be able to live the kind of life I'm currently living but on their own terms. And it pisses me off and induces an existential crisis that policy ensures they don't.

That's the job of Congress.

But the Supreme Court can also down those laws too. That was what conservatives attempted with the Affordable Care Act .

Depends. I won't work for Raytheon regardless of how much they pay. Meta though? Maybe...

Now the economy has taken a bad turn and many companies aren’t hiring engineers

The real problem.

No amount of résumé writing is going get anyone a job if no jobs are available for them to fill.

I get incredible satisfaction when I back into a parking spot at my local Sam's Club where cars are constantly coming in and going. Watching my neighbor in the parking lot struggle to back out is hilarious.

an economy isn’t just one simple supply and demand curve.

Aggregate supply and aggregate demand.

Boom. Roasted.

This instability comes at an economic cost that’s greater than the inefficiencies caused by rent control.

It's extremely difficult to get someone who only understands Econ 101 to grasp the idea of competing economic inefficiencies. Conservative think tanks have been on a rather successful crusade to ensure that de-regulation is only good. So, it's difficult to convince someone that higher taxes on "job creators" leads to a better, less expensive life for everybody else.

Lol are you my wife? She's like, "We need space so we're not looking into the neighbor's windows."

And 100% of the time, I think she's implicitly opting to pay an additional 2-3 hundred thousand dollars (where we are) just to be on an .5 acres of land, living on 15% of that half acre, and utilizing like 5% of it on a daily basis.

We don't need that much space. We shouldn't be laid on top of one another like sardines in a can, but we also don't need to waste as much space as we do for real comfort and fake status. There's a lot of transformation between the urban dispersion of the Southwest (where I live and everything is far away from everything else) and the urban density of Manhattan.
