@bassmangsj @ConorNeu Usually you get 3 months but the entire amount is due at that time.

@constans I want to write for a leftist paper with 12k in circulation and make 250k and live in manhattan though.

Living in nyc on a modest salary can be done

In 2023 in NYC, the median rent paid was $2000 for market housing, and $1500 for rent stabilized housing When you see posts about how average listings here are $5k, remember that there are listings and not rented places for a reason
English
Lol if you’re making $4,200/mo (after taxes), have a $500 student loan payment, $1,500 rent (poster days you can live alone in nyc), groceries (avg $500 nationwide, let alone nyc), $500 to retirement (low), $200 to utilities (low) you’re at a whopping $1,000 “ surplus” a month.
Marlon J. Ettinger@MarlonEttinger
Median salary, insanely easy to live on this amount of money. Anybody arguing otherwise is frankly delusional, out of touch, etc. Sorry!
English
@lindsayballant @ckayerawlings Then you would know better than me! Where’s the surplus here
English
@adubashi @ckayerawlings Do you realize I used to work there

It’s not that deep: If by mid-career your employer does not pay you enough to live alone and raise a family you are being criminally underpaid.
gal debored@ckayerawlings
It is in fact undignified for someone mid career to live with roommates. And most people would not want this regardless of your aesthetic-political evaluation of that desire.

@LoganDobson There is not an infinite amount of jobs. For the size of the centers, they don’t employ very many people.

America’s tech companies would create a near-infinite amount of blue collar jobs building and maintaining data centers if we simply… let them

@lindsayballant @ckayerawlings Because the money has to come from somewhere. There isn’t a large surplus of baffler mag profits that they’re not distributing to workers. In fact you can look up their exact expenses. So where is the money supposed to come from?
English
@adubashi @ckayerawlings I honestly don’t know what is wrong with you all. You’re literally rooting for all jobs that align with a moral conscience and aren’t corporate sellout jobs to *not pay* for a stable standard of living (nevermind—god fobid—upward mobility). Why? Why are you doing this?

Think Kyle Shanahan is the more likely Andy Reid successor with how things are going in SF. He’s on the Andy in Philly trajectory as we speak.

@amymarchinparis The man who *owns* the bodega is working class?

Honestly, if you don’t know the name of the guy who owns your bodega or the people at your laundromat who fold your drop off laundry, consider putting down your phone, going to where they work, and asking YOUR NEIGHBORS their thoughts on working class quality of life in NYC
cummunism 🇵🇸@comradesanchez
if you've never lived in a rent-stabilized apartment, had a minimum wage job, freelanced for pennies, been on SNAP or on Medicaid as a resident of New York City then you should'nt comment on whether or not a $65-75k salary is literal slavery or not.
English
@Hezbolsonaro They don't want to say it, but they think they are better than you.
English
I would not begrudge any working class person wanting a higher wage, but it shouldn't be hard to see why people making around minimum wage find it a bit rich to complain about a job posting for twice as much as we make.
gal debored@ckayerawlings
Offering $65-72k for a difficult full time in-office job where you have to live in NYC is a criminal offense

@JakeSherman What did the Saudi achieve by pissing billions of dollars down this hole?

NEWS -- The clown show has ended:
After spending recent weeks on life support, LIV Golf has lost the funding of its Saudi backers.
LIV plans to tell players and staff by Thursday that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund will no longer bankroll the circuit after this season, according to people familiar with the matter. The move sounds the death knell for the upstart that sowed chaos in professional golf by plowing billions into the sport and poaching A-list players.

@JeremiahDJohns The linked study defines 20 percent savings as living comfortably
English
you do not need 150K for a single person to live comfortably in NYC
the reason you believe this is that you have political psychosis and have no idea what the state of reality is.
Median *household* income in nyc is 80K.
db@dbessner
I truly do not understand this point of view. Study after study says you need at least 150k *for a single person* to live comfortably in NYC. why fetishize shitty pay? so many leftists are Calvinists at heart
English

English
@jnchien Lol that's the bar? Saving 20 percent is what they determine for comfortable? Pretty sure you can do that even at 100k.
English
This is the definition of "live comfortably" in the linked article lmao. I lived in relative comfort on 25-30k in LA in the last 5-10 years. Even adjusting for inflation, that's like 50-60k. Saying you need 160k to live comfortably in NYC is beyond absurd. Klion nailed it.
db@dbessner
I see some people bashing this obviously correct post by saying this is a median NYC salary. That may be but according to this study this salary is HALF of what a single adult needs to live comfortably in the city smartasset.com/data-studies/s… I guess the left loves racing to …

@elles80333252 @buildhomez It's not decent real estate. You cannot put homes there the area is mostly industrial and no one wants to live there. So a data center is the best option.

@buildhomez Opinions aside I'm confused why this project pencils out in economic terms? That's decent commercial real estate and toast in an earthquake.

AMAZING news out of Seattle
A *FOUR* story data center in city limits has filed for plans to get ahead of the expected moratorium. Seattle will get a sales & property tax boon along with keeping the construction industry afloat in a downturn

@nontautological @dbessner The remote or not NYC is probably the most valid concern.
English
@nontautological @dbessner I mean if you’re saying they shouldn’t exist then sure. But that’s the alternative(or them using contractors) not higher salaries without more demand

@dbessner What profits does baffler mag to give out to pay a higher wage?
