  • I was getting headhunted for a job in Coeur d’Alene. It’s a beautiful place. I could afford a nice house there near the lake. I could bike to work (given adequate gear for winter)… We have friends in Montana we could actually see.

    I know if I move out of CA it will be very hard to come back. The politics there seem pretty backwards. I couldn’t see living there. What you say really seals the deal.






  • Honestly, I would argue at least a portion of those items would get thrown away if he hadn’t gotten them. When someone wants something gone, and when a different person wants to acquire that particular thing don’t always align. It’s tweaker arbitrage, but it’s not that big a deal IMHO.

    The real moral failing from my perspective is not recognizing how much help he got, and how ‘lucky’ he was.
