The lack of empathy on display here is astonishing. Is this quality a prerequisite to participating in the luckier side of the wealth-gap of silicon valley?
Consider, if you will, that people have responded by looking for solutions. A true lack of empathy would be a response characterized by people professing apathy or ignoring this submission entirely.
Most people here share the pain. I know guy with "good job" who lives in van. I personally would love to come to SV, but simply can not effort it with family.
