Tech titans give S.F. the finger as they flee. But this billionaire is staying and working to make it better [TechMeme] The rest of them went to Texas to pay less taxes, meaning they are greedy bastards who care more about money than people.
The dream job doesn’t exist. It’s no surprise that rewarding careers—whether you’re a lighthouse keeper, park ranger, or deep-ocean researcher—come with a lot of work. But doing what you “love” obscures how these jobs often mean low pay, long hours, and little agency. As Clio Chang writes in The New Republic, no matter how much you love what you do, at the end of the day a job is still a job. Perhaps our focus shouldn’t just be about finding meaningful work, but also making sure it’s a decent job that allows us to lead a decent life. —Michelle Cheng, reporter, Quartz at Work [Quartz]

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 240 & BENKYO RADIO 240.

I can’t believe it. 4 more days until Joe Biden becomes President! Trump is a menace and tried to overthrow the government. VP Pence must be in charge for a few more days. I am asking everybody to please hold on. We can do this. It’s not 4 MORE YEARS, it’s 4 MORE DAYS. It’s almost over. Go get yourself some beer/liquor/non-alcoholic beverage that you prefer. It’s time for a celebration. We are ALMOST there. Stay safe, drink with moderation. We can party, soon, but let’s not be stupid. Let’s continue to wear masks, practice social-distance. Recently, The Ohio State University Football team lost the National Championship game but it was a blessing in disguise. As a result, people on OSU campus did not have a large gathering, unlike Alabama who did, and as a result they had a huge superspreader event. Most of those people will get sick of COVID-19 if they weren’t wearing masks. There were hundreds of people together in that video. It was not smart.

I’m really getting impatient like millions of Americas, but just remember, we are almost going to wake up from the Trump nightmare. Stand together. In the words of MLK, we shall overcome.

Until next time!
