I think the "everyone anyone your pronouns" thing in email, slack, whatever is dumb. But if I lived in SD, I'd start doing it right about now.

Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails
True, that!
Macroeconomically, it's not wasteful because cars find new life in resale. It's definitely wasteful to your pocketbook to get a new car every 5 years.
Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.
I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It's weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.
2 years is too long IMHO. 1 year, forgiven in a prorated fashion seems far more palatable.
Counter point, the other company pays better because they save on training costs.
3000 isn't much when it comes to onboarding costs, so I don't think that's why, but imagine if it cost 10k,20k, etc.
For clarity, I'm very much in favor of this ruling. But I also sympathize with the above reply.
This is what I've done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I'm looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I'd prefer a Rivian and I'm not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.
Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!
Not in any order of magnitude
I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:
I don't fuss about it, and I totally get that it can be helpful in ambiguous situations. I see it used a lot in virtue signaling, and that annoys me a lot.
I can see the solidarity angle, but I guess I'm old school and feel like the best acceptance of others is just to live and let live.
