Hispanic community isn't anything to write home about. Just as poor in many cases poorer than blacks. They riot too in California. There were plenty of Hispanics at the LA riots. Oakland riots are a multiethnic affair. You just hear them complain less because most of them are either white, half white, or have lots of white family.Extra Medium wrote:

Pissing me off actually. I prefer a down market since I don't flip.
Fine. Details. My friend, of Mexican descent, is doing quite well flipping houses.
Friend is doing quite well in the fixer upper flipper business with about a half dozen or so property in the pipe plus rentals.
Location location location and timing. Property I bought about 20 years ago leases easily at 2x original monthly mortgage.tuckergustav wrote:
It USED to be a more financially sound decision to buy a house since you could almost guarantee getting what you paid into it back if/when you decided to sell. It's not even remotely guaranteed anymore.
If you purchase property, it is only slightly guaranteed that you will break even if you are renting it out. So, the two smart decisions right now seem to be, renting a place and/or owning a rental property.
But, ownership for the sake of ownership isn't the smartest option at the moment.
And at the moment loads of people, notably from mainland China and South Korea, are buying home after home with cash. Can't speak for outside of SoCal though.
And yet, somehow your landlords seem much inclined to own these properties. Multiples in fact. Must be something there about owning property.
As someone with two 15 year fixed rate mortgages soon to be paid off, I'll be using the lease money to help pay for more property.

Brasso, I was alluding to your stereotype comment. I noted maritime because of the significant amount of filipinos working on merchant ships. Of them banging every port countries racial types. If not already at the docks, cabbies awaiting. In other words prosti's aren't just a filipino thing.

macbeth has 'respect' for filipinos? what world are you living in? macbeth does nothing but stereotype and objectify his asian women. macbeth doesn't 'respect' filipinos: he has reduced them down to a type, an empty form, an inert agglomeration of cultural & biological fact. macbeth doesn't talk about filipinos as if they are real human beings. he talks about them as if they are blow-up dolls, only with a pulse and the legal right to marry.Brasso wrote:

Never mind having to tell your spouse you won't be there day to day to help raise your kids, attend their birthdays and graduation, comfort a wound or hurt emotion, and such. Things most people take for granted.

right, but they only account for less than half of all science/engineering type PhD's. what about the rest? are they pariahs? the black sheep of the flock? people who have lost their way? doctorates have existed a long time before society became technical.
Yes plus practical research. The researchers are titled software engineers. PhD interns mixing it up with the engineers.Uzique The Lesser wrote:
oh and i'm pretty sure most google engineers and technical staff will have their PhD's from places like MIT or stanford, in perfectly academic and theoretical fields of research.
I wasn't referring to the engineering part. About PhD students with intentions to work corporate. Not just academia research but practical research.
Not just engineering. Biotech. Chemistry. Aerospace. Astrophysics. Robotics. Material science. Game engine design. 3D modeling. And on and on.

The FiOS MI424WR router upstairs already supports gigabit so this'll keep the bottlenecks out of the system while splitting the single existing ethernet connection downstairs that I currently have to myself. It should also make file transfers over the network pretty fast, I'm sure we'll probably use that a few times when he needs something from me instead of having to swap flash drives.
Gotta reward my son for his grades.
Just try to get a day laborer for $10/hr. Good luck on that.
Like prior minimum wage increases one will get a higher wage but take on the additional responsibility of the one who gets fired.
My upgrade trends follows Panzers purchases.
Minimum wage should never be a living wage. Jobs that pay minimum wage should never be a career. It's a part time high turnover wage for folks like teenagers.
There are a shit ton of jobs that already pay over $10 that take less than 6 months of learning/training effort.
But no let's screw over those who made an effort and bettered themselves making over minimum wage.

i think america especially has an issue with college being seen as an individualistic path to 'the american dream', that slice of the pie. in europe, where universities are several centuries old and in most countries are free, they are an opportunity to intellectually branch out and study something genuine. they are not so closely tied to the job market (most european states have historically had a separate institution of technical schools/colleges that prepare vocational students). universities are academic centres. they are for learning and for research. the whole pragmatic reduction of a university to somewhere to 'boost my income' is a very american vulgarization. and it wasn't even that way in the states before ww2.
i have no shame about belonging to a class or social group who see university in its original, historical function. who still value education as something high-minded, lofty, ambitious, idealistic. seems like a better social universe to belong to than the money-obsessed and career stressed.
Not all degrees and levels. Can't speak for the UK but here experienced craftsmen and builders make more than most Bachelor holders.
