  I may have an opportunity coming up to work in greater Austin. It’s tempting for many reasons, and I like the area, but I don’t think I can make it work for exactly that reason…housing prices are sky high.

  For me it would mean trading a lot of financial stability for quality of life, or having a commute similar to yours. Living in or near the city is probably still manageable for those who have been there for many years, but I think most newcomers will find housing prohibitively expensive.

  We have these in my area as well, though these stores are mostly considered vendors for poor folk.

  Funny enough, the upscale stores have tons of self-checkouts and fewer cashiers. It’s as if bagging one’s own groceries with a cashier is for unfortunates, but doing both jobs yourself is in fashion.

  Losing them tons of money is the only way to make the faceless corporates pay attention and take action. I hope they do it.

  I hope this domino effect continues. It’s time corporations remember who contributes value to their businesses, and it’s not the leeches, er, shareholders.

  It could tell them there’s likely a live person receiving their bullshit, so continue spamming.

  Bear in mind these are all just ideas I have about how they operate, based on nothing really. I try to imagine how spammers analyze data they receive to target us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So many spammers I just get it over as quicky as possible these days⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always block them right away. My idea is that any interaction flags you as ‘positive direct contact’ in their scumbag networks, making them likely to increase the spamming. I realize the act of blocking may in itself trigger this, if they track undeliverable contact, but idk what else to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 2021, my company laid off 100 people. Later that same year, they hire me and others to replenish this loss⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is good insight, thank you.

  It seems to me this is all a stalling tactic for unprofitable companies. Is that correct?

  For me it’s any salesman wearing whatever.
