$170k/year for 1 person is no joke.

This is just a grift to take advantage of morons.

Don't be one of them.

A two bedroom, one bathroom house built in the 80s in San Francisco cost $1.1 million a couple years back. I don't suppose cost of living in most big cities went down.

For comparison, Mitchell Baker, the former CEO of Mozilla, saw her yearly pay rise from $2.4 million in 2018 to 6.9 million in 2022. I think it's perfectly adequate for the CEO of matrix to earn the salary of a moderately successful software engineer.

That's funny, because nothing about his job requires him to be there.

Unlike, you know, people outside of tech.

I have no clue where in the world he resides. I'm just trying and failing to clue you in on how the world works.

No, you're trying to defend the profit's of others without realizing how they're taking advantage of your naivete.

Honestly, trying to explain things to useful idiots really is a fool's errand. The best I can do is make it clear as day for anyone with a brain how much of a sucker the average internet user is now.

Goodbye. I'm going to ignore you. I'm tired of arguing with tools.

How could I ever cope without your words of wisdom.
