Great analogy! Unfortunately we are the sulfur breathers.

The first point is true of most employment, unless you're one of the ~10% of US employees with a union contract. Your paycheck is always subject to the whims of your employer. I do…

you guys won, what do you want?

New england's suburbs & small towns are the outlier in the US. I grew up in the south and my experience exactly mirrors that of the CA resident you're responding to. No amount of c…
