Bay Area friends, real question: which one are you choosing?

Jobs? Yes.
Cheaper bills? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Tom Brady just cloned his dog.
You read that right. 🧬

1 in 7 home sales are falling through before closing - mostly due to home inspections.
 With high prices and rates, buyers aren’t willing to take on surprise repairs.

Your electric bill isn’t about your usage anymore.
Part of it might be paying for Big Tech’s massive data centers -some use more power than entire cities.
Utilities give them discounts, and the rest of us make up the difference.
It’s a quiet wealth transfer we never agreed to.
