    they’ll pick the most efficient option-- to them, it’s not “people HAVE to live this far away or less”. it’s “alright, who lives the farthest away and are potential new hires closer”. basically, they’d define “near” based on where employees live and where job applicants live.

    it’d result in a world where the people who can afford to live closer than their coworkers are the people with more job security. it’d be more wealth inequality















  • community college can be $5,000ish per year (in community rn), and if you go to a smaller local college after that it might be like double or triple that per year. the average of $9,000 is still lowballing it a good bit, but you can lower the $30,000 figure a decent bit

    (i am in no way saying that college isn’t as expensive as people say-- it is. i am saying that community college and lower quality colleges are options many people don’t include in these sorts of averages. i thought i was boned but community college saved my ass.)
