    The days of airbnbs being cheaper than hotels are long gone. When planning a trip to NOLA I looked into Airbnbs and they were all outrageously expensive, and insane cleaning fees, and had inane pet deposits. Ended up booking Marriott room with a kitchenette, no pet deposit, and parking for $100 less per night on top of none of the weird fees Airbnb hosts have, two blocks from bourbon street. I’ll never use Airbnb or similar services again.
















  • Honestly, we are potentially on the cusp of the next great societal shift not only in how countries are ran, but probably also where the sphere of global influence resides. I don’t know how it will all end it, whether it will end with China superseding the US as a global influencer and power, or if we will go the way the Nazis have been trying to direct us since the 30s and the entire world takes a dramatic shift to the far right.

    Quite frankly, it’s terrifying. Being in the United States and watching our political climate dissolve into a party who is afraid of embracing the young and go further left, and a party whose only interest is owning the libs and helping the 1% become even wealthier while the rest of us have to suffer through greedflation is really frustrating. My wife and I have talked about leaving, but we have JDs, and American JDs are basically useless outside of the U.S. unless you went to Harvard/Stanford/Yale and can land a job in Big Law, which we did not.

    I’ve thought about going back to school and getting a degree in programming, or trying to find another way to learn and get the experience/certifications I would need, but I have absolutely no idea where to start with that or how to look for those kinds of jobs.
