Unmeated

I am fortunate not to have any medical problems, but I know (because I’ve tried it) that if I go without eating meat for longer than about a week, I feel like a garbage can assaulted by an angry moose. Yes, even if I eat all the plant-based protein that “should” help.

If meat-eating is taken away, I will be forced to raise my own chickens and perhaps rabbits because it is non-optional for me if I want to feel ok.

No Comp

In a similar role now, I make three times what I would’ve made in a government role I applied for and declined a few years ago.

Three times. Not 10% more. Not 40% more. 200% more! Government jobs in tech at least cannot compete with what private tech companies are throwing at people.

There’s hardly any “wasteful” research, considering that the future is unknown and that 99% of the time the people declaring research to be wasteful don’t even understand what is being investigated.
