Ummm, an entire decade of American CS / EE grads unemployed or underemployed after the hiring in the industry stopped in the late 1990s....
Regardless of how the banks behave, maybe the LA government, in their role as trustees, stewards, and fiduciaries, should look at, and seek to...
And then do what? Have a property that sits vacant all year round? Rent to whom? Who cares if you can pick something up cheap, if it can never...
A labour shortage would be very good news. China has been exporting deflation to the USA for the past 20-30 years. Maybe it can start exporting...
What are you talking about? In the 1990s, SV was not overrun by foreigners. Today it is. Do you even have a clue? Yeah right... And you...
