> Is this now considered unusual?

Yes. People want free stuff now, paid for by other people. Working is not cool anymore.

I don't see any downside to a 4 day work week. Workers should expect to get paid 4/5 of what they made before, but it could be well worth it.

> Oh neat, I always wanted to be a litterbug

Exactly. We're worried about plastic pollution in the wilderness unless it's floating in the air, got it.

Neither is the lack of luxury housing

Do they also suffer from insufficient Lamborghinis?

> S.F. needs more housing

Always funny to see this taken at face value. SF doesn’t “need” housing. People want to pay less for housing. Not the same thing at all.

I changed my mind too. Turns out it's really dangerous.

Apple refuses that in the same way that you refuse to eat moldy food. You like fresh food right?

It’s not short anything. Other states have housing.

You like crime?

> Where does this narrative about evil greedy developers come from?

Reality

Wow that’s actually terrible news. Who wants more pollution crowding traffic and crime?

Every housing topic on HN ends with the guy saying “… but Japan!”. Funny thing is that guy never lives in Japan.

People think more housing lowers housing costs. Those people have never been to a big city.

Good. More housing/highways is not the answer.

I really don't understand why people are thirsty in the desert when they don't have water. Why are they so impotent?

The most shocking part for me was that someone was willing to pay $280

It’s only simple if you don’t care about crime, pollution, etc. Then, it’s very simple yes.

Airtable was a really cool startup when they came out in 2012. There was nothing else like it. Now, with their mass layoffs, and free alternatives, it makes you wonder if they can survive as a company.

> I have my eye on Chicago. There’s always something going on

You're right about that part

> thinking reasonably about things that are uncomfortable to contemplate, like arguments against your religious beliefs

Good exercise for democrats: acknowledge that the Hunter Biden laptop was not fake, that negative news about the government are being actively, illegally, and covertly suppressed by social media companies.

It changes everything.

easy to say

Anyone who has seen a lithium mining site in person will be a LOT less enthused about EV vehicles in general. And if you actually live near a lithium mining site... lets just say EV vehicles will be the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

Worked out great actually. Less pollution, less crowding and noise, less crime, more nature, cleaner.

> It has zero to do with "being too good to hire their own students" and everything to do with diversity of thought. I 100% agree with it.

If you think universities have diversity of thought you haven’t been to a university in the last few decades

Nothing wrong with that, I wish I did too

It feels like talking to recently elected politicians

this tweet makes no sense

No
