No matter where you work in any major city in the US, whether you are working for a major tech company or your run of the mill enterprise shop, you should be making at least twice the median household income of your local area if you have at least three years of experience. If people making half of what you make can manage to survive and it be homeless or go hungry, you should be able to save enough “to live in a position of f%%l you” (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xdfeXqHFmPI).

You may not be able to put little Timmy in private school and he may have to gasp go to a public college.

What does this have to do with my comment?

That you should save money and not be dependent on the generosity of your employer or the government to make sure you can continue to have food and shelter.

Please tell me what the purpose of living in a society is? Also, be sure not to use the words "firetrucks", "military jobs program", or "I pay my taxes for this exact purpose, in the event I need these services"

Well, you can either live in your idealistic world and starve and be homeless unless you can live off of unemployment or live in the real world and save your money.

Or do you expect the government to replace 100% of a tech employees compensation?
