    35k is a pretty huge amount better than 150k. Are you just trying to say that it sucks either way? Because that I agree with, but when we criticize things, we should at least have the numbers right.

      Yes, I’m saying he’s a psychopath regardless of the numerical error. He’s talking about destroying the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, just so he can make some more money he doesn’t need, and could never spend. So it doesn’t really matter if it’s 30k, 40k, or 150k. He would propose anything that benefits him personally, regardless of the suffering it causes.

            Kinda glad I work in government/heavy industry. The highs aren’t very high and the lows aren’t very low. I will never be rich but I also will never be unemployed for over a week by choice.

              And those sectors would gladly hire people from the tech sector, but yeah no one will pay you 300k for writing JavaScript

                Maybe. If I was hiring someone new under me I would tend to avoid people who worked for Alphabet. Frankly controls+automation is a not a fun field to be in. If you want to get into it you have to be willing to endure it. Can’t exactly have someone who spent their childhood riding horses on their private estate working in a slaughter house.
