I hear this criticism all the time, but I’ve never seen it happen in 5 companies I’ve worked for so far. Usually there’s an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

I hate how it’s framed as a bad thing. Intentional or not, real estate prices falling is a good thing.
At least then you have the absolute moral high ground.
" we need to eradicate drug trade" is not a good call to arms, since consuming psychoactive substances is the most human thing ever, practiced by a wide range of the population
“we need to get rid of murderers and human traffickers” is clear and unambiguous, and would actually make more people turn their back on the cartels
Could it serve as an iron supplement?
People speculating in real estate are doing so for passive income
You severely underestimate the role of real state in the current economy. Banks, investment funds, pension funds, real estate agencies, insurance … Individuals looking for passive income are just a part of it.
Especially in North America, Europe and China (but true everywhere generally) real estate speculation takes a huge chunk of investment money of both individuals and companies.
you feel that homelessness isn’t included in them
It’s not, except as an afterthought. It’s not me inventing these statistics
Reducing home prices requires destroying an entire branch of economy - real estate investment. Mind you not construction but owning property as an investment. It would noticeably drop the GDP and any other economic statistic as well as leave a bunch of people without jobs.
I guess in the mind of most politicians it’s not an acceptable course of action, even though avoiding it makes things worse in the long term.
I’ll give you a different perspective. I don’t vote in the US elections (given the impact on people in other countries maybe we should) so I won’t focus on the Democrat/Republican thing but on the reasons for selecting a specific candidate.
Step 1 - deal breakers. Determine if the proposed policies cause any immediate regression in what is already achieved. Rolling back existing trans rights, banning abortion, stuff like that.
Step 2 - vibes. This is the critical one. Don’t immediately look at positive policies you want implemented. Look at how a candidate winning would move the Overton Window .
After this election there will be more, and who wins today moves the general vibe of the entire political system. It sets a base for policies of future candidates who might not even know it yet.
Step 3 - narrowing down. Now if you have several candidates that pass step 2 equally, you can look at the specific policies. Generally you can expect any politician to overpromise (khm lie), but usually they try to achieve at least some of the stated goals.
In two-party electoral systems basically you can’t often reach the step 3, but you do have primaries so it can be applied there.
If someone needs another existental crisis here’s a prompt:
You know what’s most ironic, those executives decisions actually endangered their own lives. Who’s a group of people typically flying quite frequently? Upper management. And it’s more likely than not to be on a Boeing.
Imagine being so focused on shareholder value that you risk your life for it.
I can imagine in a small startup with good interpersonal relationships it hurts less. I was never laid off but I worked in a small company like that and there were risky periods. It might have been an exception among most companies but we all had access to the revenue and expense data. There can be no surprises if everyone knows the financials.
Theist I’d say. Having a defined purpose in life and hope for something beyond it. It does wonders for mental health and “happiness” or at least lack of existental crisis.
Religion often provides a community and sense of belonging (although this varies by religion)
The only problem is that it’s all based on fiction. Once you understand it’s a lie, all the benefits are gone.

Where do I get a job in bioinformatics? Now that AI hype is on the way out (and I missed it) my best guess is that it will be the next big thing. And unlike LLMs it’s actually interesting.
Anger, knowing they will get what they deserve more quickly than I initially thought. I’m not thinking about rich celebrities, they are just a few people. There are so many regular people who refused to modify their lifestyle even a little to mitigate the problem. They will suffer alongside me and I find some solace in that.
Sooner or later some octopus will survive beyond reproduction and then we can welcome our new mollusc overlords
Maybe they were those queer centipedes that fuck in person. Degenerates
Just whatever is the default sort. It’s usually mergesort or quicksort depending on the environment. No way I’m implementing my own

Phew this was a lot. I can’t give you good advice, when I see situations like this I’m just happy not to be straight.
Edit: I meant no disrespect, it’s just that in queer spaces there is so much less drama of this type due to widespread acceptance of fleeting attractions
Made an escalating series of mistakes during a single year in my early 30s, leading to a mental breakdown. That was 5 years ago, I still have trouble letting go of what could have been
