    Clearly, not going to a doctor for 3 decades indicates that you "don't think".

    Just because you decide not to take care of yourself, doesn't give you the right to abuse the privilege for another life.

    My old Garmin tracker didn't communicate with Garmin. There was a program you could load on your computer and upload your data to it to show where you went on the map, but unless you decided to share that data with friends, it didn't leave your machine. That program is gone now, as Garmin moved it to a web interface, and collects everything...no reason for it, so I'm done with Garmin.

    There's little reason for most tech to require communications with a parent company. "armish community" be damned. Neither of our 2012 vehicles did.

    The targeted ads are bad enough without the hyperbole of "subvert" and "radicalize". Use of that kind of language needs evidence of such extremes.

    The government isn't giving someone anything. They're simply not taking as much.

    You're LMGTFY is links to all sites that are hostile to the mortgage deduction and use trigger words like subsidy which is total BS. The definition of a subsidy is the government giving you something. A deduction is not a subsidy. By the same logic, poor people pay lower (and sometimes no tax) tax rates...the government is subsidizing lower pay.

    And NO, they don't have to "take it from someone else".

    Again, I asked you what SUBSIDIES, the mortgage deduction is not a subsidy. It's available to anyone. And, just from the title of your link it doesn't indicate a cause for moving away from the cities. It's a deduction for what has been known as the "American Dream" since the 50s. It give them the ability to actually afford what they couldn't otherwise, and again, it's what they want. So no, the government isn't charging people extra to live in apartments, it's giving them opportunity to exit those shitholes.

  15. That refutes nothing I said. And, just to correct you, you can move a household for less $5k. Let me google that for your lazy ass...
    If hiring professional movers for a relocation, you can expect to pay at least $1,000. As mentioned above, the American Moving and Storage Association states that the average cost of a local household move is $2,300, and the average cost of a long distance move is $4,300

    Proof? Please point to whatever subsidies you're claiming. Tax advantages are available to everyone. Those mortgage deductions come from the federal government and have squat to do with "social engineering" on any kind a of a local level.

    Sorry no. I don't need anyone's help to negotiate my own pay. And, I most certainly don't need them skimming off the top, because you realize those middlemen have to get paid as well. And finally, I don't need them pushing their own political agenda and using my money to do it.

    I grew up around unions (Detroit). There's a place for them...low paid work, and monopolies...not tech.

    High density apartments are fine for people just starting out and those who can't afford better. But unless you're talking about luxury apartments, the vast majority of the population doesn't want to live there. They're frequently noisy, pest infested, and lack decent security for your vehicle. Been there, done that, not going back.
