His three propositions can occur even though a bubble bursts and may even have a better chance to do so because of it. i.e. The amount of money a company is worth becomes insignificant when the value of money decreases due to the fed dumping it from helicopters to avoid a depression.

That's the reason why bubble talk is not boring... because the very unnatural successes that occurred post 2008 (due to market manipulations by the fed) now being set to unwind. It's become a game of jenga, with everyone watching the fed make its moves.

Like it or not bubbles will burst and when they do lookout below!

Use the force, Luke.

Don't tell your boss.

If people do get pushed out you'll be first to go even if you haven't found something better yet. Beyond that you will be treated differently and probably for the worse.

> Anything they do now to try to correct for affordability, and bring down property values would result in a large number of defaults for domestic owners, and big hit to the economy.

Structural changes are always painful in the short term. It's the long term total return value that counts.

Also, domestic owners in downtown vancouver would be just fine. If the place is worth over 600k (which they all are) then they are already/mostly rich enough to absorb the hit. Note that the larger the price tag of the home then the larger the hit will be, but on that end it's filled with people who really can afford that hit. The smaller the price tag of home then it's also a much smaller hit taken and the odds are then extremely high for them to regain that value back over time.

Chalk it up to life experience.

You should always have a contract even a simple hand written one is better than nothing. While you maybe getting screwed over you still, imho, need to take some personal accountability for not managing your business affairs. At least enough to the degree that permits you to let it go emotionally.

Also, how much money are we really talking about here? A few months work at just out of school wages? Seems to me like that's peanuts compared to real cost it has taken being on your mind over the years.

Why are you looking for work? Can't be that great of a place if you're looking, so maybe the risk is worth it considering.

Why would you expect them not to pressure you?

They probably have some other canadidate who will cost more than you and they don't want to drop the ball with them.

Also, while they are pressuring you they are obviously not rushing. You have had three interviews with them. That must take some time, more than a few days I'd imagine (probably a week or two minimum).

Shit or get off the pot man :)

The 10x engineer is actually rather common place imho. If we can acknowledge that the work of some engineers create debt then we can simply find an engineer that doesn't and assume there's compound value in their work (which is probably the case).

Yeah, let's make sure all our children come out of the womb with cost/benefit thinking... Problem solved.

What does homebrew "business rule engines" mean? Are there a bunch of them already made? What would be an example of this?

out of curiosity, I wonder what would happen if an app was made to lock the phone down for a period of time or some other future forward criteria. Can they charge you when you don't actually know the password.
