Corporate landlords are absolutely driving the prices up, combined with 3 decades of low interest and investors treating real estate like a speculative market. The material cost of housing is miniscule. North American homes are made out of paper and plywood.

Right, but at least it will be your house. Instead of paying someone else's mortgage and coming out of it with nothing for yourself.

Lol I don't understand. So when you get hired somewhere, you just shake hands and go to a desk and start working? You don't sign any employment contract outlining role responsibilities, compensation, NDA, expectations, background check, bank deposit information, tax information, etc?

I don't believe you.

I don't give a shit about that. OP misused a Picard quote. Completely unacceptable.

Quote taken completely out of context.

The context is that a partial descendant of an enemy species (Romulans) was the victim of a witch hunt. He was half human and a starfleet officer. He had lived in the federation his whole life.

A real world equivalent example to that would be banning Americans with Russian ancestry that were born in America and lived in America their whole lives from contributing.

That is not what's happening here. You are arguing in bad faith. Picard would be perfectly fine with preventing Romulans in the Romulan Empire from accessing/modifying sensitive technology.

My dude, we're talking about remote work office jobs. Not some random under the table shit.

Huh? All jobs come with an employment contract.

I guarantee that nobody is surprised by this. This was a fully intended consequence.

Ya, sure. Have fun with that legal battle versus amazon.

Getting fired with cause doesn't come with severance and looks bad on a resume.
