You all will be shocked to know that the cost of living and housing is very reasonable here in St. Louis!
Shit we couldn't buy a toilet for this money here.
But, on the downside...St. Louis.

The McCloskey's absurd mansion estimates are like $1.2m. That gets you a solid 2bdr/2bath in most of the bay area.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yep. There are some beautiful homes on that street, too. Theirs isn't one of them. I'm surprised that even gets you a 2b/2bath in the bay area, to be honest.

Woah, Nancy must have churned out some co2 to get from defending the pentagon at cop 26 to officiating at an oil heiress' wedding all within 48 hours. Go Dems!

Brutal, particularly during the holidays.

Better.com CEO fires 900 employees via a Zoom call Wednesday. :sad: :sad: :sad:

My heart goes out to all of the former employees, hope they all find better, more rewarding jobs with a company that has some compassion for their team.

Hello,

"We're cutting employees in a move we have to make to survive..." because, although I'm a billionaire, I can't take a personal loss just because I'm in charge and responsible for shape the company is in.

I was going to make a joke about that employee's poor phone charging habits, but then googled that CEO and what a piece of work.
