Absolutely. Im in favor of policies that put forward creative ways to stimulate private investment in under-invested communities. I much prefer this approach to additional government grants / subsidies, which are beaurocratic and wasteful.

Yes - creates incentives to direct capital to areas that need investment. Skeptical of gov ability to make sure funds are used in an ethical way. But I support the framework for owners of capital to be able to direct funding to areas that have been identified and approved by gov.

No. Capital should go where it is most desired/needed via market incentives. No need to distort the market via tax incentives. If a community is underinvested, let that be a sign that people should start changing what they are doing to make investment more attractive or they should move to a community that is attracting more investment if they do desire.

D1 saying "it's not that hard to move to your local city" truly shows how out of touch they are.

I'm glad you've been so fortunate and sheltered to have those opportunities to just move whenever at your discretion.

I make $101K base salary as a Consultant/Specialist at Accenture Federal in Washington, DC. My husband is a teacher making $55K. We’re getting by with our mortgage and regular student loan payments, but it’s not enough to do much else. We also want to start a family in a few years. What move could I make to hit $150K base? So many of you are making unbelievable amounts… I don’t know how to keep up.

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

Hey, so I was offered a CDP position as an analyst in Accenture starting this fall, but today I just found out I got the Fulbright scholarship to be an ETA in Thailand for a year.

Democrats are voting for Biden only because their (irrational) deep rooted hatred for Trump is so strong. Not one single Liberal is excited about Biden, nor can they actually stand by anything he’s done in 47 years. There is absolutely 0 energy behind candidate Joe Biden.
