    Have you ever considered you're just not smart at all?
    Not everyone can be as intelligent as you Pav.

    Politician is honest about his desires, acknowledges that cons ution prohibits him from realizing said desires, and board idiots think that’s a bad thing? Because really what our politicians need to do is add more obfuscation and dishonesty to the messages they deliver to the public.

    I don't consider myself to be more than reasonably intelligent. You just seem to be ruled by your emotions and feelings of persecution at the hands of minorities.

    If I was overly concerned about the ability for the government to regulate fox news while the 1st amendment exists then that would standout as a positive. I'm not though so his general message is very concerning to me.
    I'm concerned about the ability for government to regular any type of speech, whether it's left, right or center. That doesn't mean government can't regulate (although the free press has additional cons utional protections). There are general exceptions to the 1st Amendment in place.

    The point, however, is that regardless of how he feels about a particular news outlet, he puts law first, which is both right and educational, especially in this day and age where the press and free speech in general is consistently attacked.

    I grew up in Toms River and Edison. So help me god if you sell NJ out to move to SoCal ...

    In all seriousness tho, you gotta do what’s best for you and your fam. Glad to hear you might be collecting more of dem checks ...
    I'm near Red Bank, so it's pretty nice. Although this time of the year is pretty brutal, weather wise. I've been actually thinking of moving out at some point. I could probably run the biz from anywhere.

    But yeah, this is a different thing, which is good and bad, there's a lot of things to consider and I want to take my time to analyze it, but I want relative peace of mind after making a decision, and want to make sure I do so with all the information I can gather.

    Hottest Persian girl I ever hooked up with was from Tinton Falls. You’re gonna regret it ...

    The NJ winters were always fun since I was a kid, although I could see the appeal of SoCal as an adult. You should just stop being a get and move to ATX. They have tech and there too

    Altho my bro lives in Santa Monica. I’ll hook you up with the lesser VY. Him and SR21 can show you all the hot armo spots around town. Maybe get some kefte while you’re at it.
    Visited there already. It's pretty nice (if you overlook the typical LA traffic). Gotta crunch numbers, feelings and see what the fam thinks too.

    California proposes a plan to tax text messages

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/12/tech/...tax/index.html

    "San Francisco (CNN Business)California regulators want to tax text messages to increase funds for programs that bring connectivity to underserved residents."

    "The 52-page proposal by CPUC Commissioner Carla J. Peterman lays out the details of the plan, and says the state's Public Purpose Program budget is going up while incoming fees to fill it are decreasing."


    text messaging tax incoming...

    Wifey has family in the valley so I visit every year (heading there next week), tbh, stopped by Austin a few times. I've even considered moving the operation to San Antonio just to be closer to them now that they're getting older.

    I have this offer now, I gotta think about it. At any rate, it would be closer to fly to Texas too, so that's something else to consider.

    This more broadly shows how disconnected government officials are from tech. I don't think I've sent or received a text message in years, and for many years I didn't even have a text message plan. Could probably do without one right now.

    This is actually why the carriers primarily oppose it, I suspect, it would pretty much make sure they remove the service from plans and stop getting money for it.

    tbh, if I end up in California, I'll probably keep them for the next time a conservative speaker shows up to speak at Stanford or UCLA...

    What's crazy is that a rent is not that far off from a mortgage if you have the money for the 20%-25% down-payment.



    San Mateo or Santa Monica.

    Basically, house prices are in-line with house prices here in NJ, but rent is about 3x-4x as much, pretty wicked.
    Damn so you'll have the hookup for the next God of War? Or for that Diablo mobile game?

    You'll need them before then for the tweaker homeless zombie epidemic. Was in LA/Long Beach last week and the homeless issue is understated dramatically here and being near the Bay and going so often, it's just amazing how much it's exploded the last few years. Be prepared, even if you live in the nice areas.

    California faces a pension showdown

    California drastically increased public employee pension benefits in the fall of 2003, when the state allowed employees to purchase "airtime." Prior to the pension e, a 50-year-old fireman making $89,000 a year could retire at age 50 after 30 years of service and collect an $80,100-a-year pension with life expectancy of 76.3 years.

    But under "airtime," the fireman could purchase extra years of seniority at a cost per of $0.18022 per year for every $1 of salary. For $80,197.90, the fireman could increase his pension by $13,350 to $93,450. Such an investment in "airtime" would return a spectacular income stream of $351,105 over the next 26.3 years of life expectancy.

    The maximum percentage for Florida Retirement System has always been 48% of average of 5 highest years (up to 60 days vacation max added to one of those years). Rick Scott reduced COLA (3%) by x/30 for each x year after 2011 (that's why they hate him so but it was to save the system). Iirc, FRS is currently 86% funded - not great but not bad. How's Texas, anyone know?

    This is in comparison to CA's 90% or 105% with buyback - of 3 highest years (easier to get higher amt than averaging 5 years).
