They only discuss income tax when folks claim that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] canihasaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Austin is cheaper than San Diego, even excluding taxes: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&country2=United+States&city1=Austin%2C+TX&city2=San+Diego%2C+CA permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social -2 points 2 years ago (3 children) Also, the topic was taxes, not cost of living. But it is understandable that when folks can't justify their bias they simply shift the goal posts. Pay is higher in CA so that isn't the smug data point you thought it was. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) The topic was cost of living. Then someone mentioned it AND taxes. Then this person replied to the cost of living part. Seems weird to read this conversation and see the claim bias and goalpost moving. They very clearly are not shifting anything. Also you're making a pretty wild assumption that by stating facts with evidence that they're "biased". Don't be that guy/girl. I hate it when conservatives do that too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Nope it is Taxes for the Company. The Company cares not one whit for the CoL of their Employees except when it affects the quality. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I see that you're shifting goalposts, neat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] canihasaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Average monthly salary in the cities is listed at the bottom of that link I gave. The two cities differ in monthly salary by $14 dollars on average, per the available data. Those same submissions show that the cost of living is ~20% higher in San Diego than Austin. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not relevant as the topic is IT at Apple and not folks at McDonalds as well as being about Taxes for the Company.
